O.R. is about finding
ways to apply analytical methods to make better decisions. Third Sector organisations face
extremely complex decisions about the direction they should take and how to
allocate scarce resources. Without the tools to model different scenarios
and understand the consequences of them, it isn't surprising that many
organisations, tend to rely on gut
feelings.
An O.R. practitioner comes
armed with an array of analytical tools plus the skills and experience to
identify the critical factors and issues, explore the different options and
explain the impact of them in real terms.
It won’t make the
decisions for you, but it provides some of the head to your organisation’s heart
and, when you combine the two, you are more likely to act in the interests of
your organisation and its beneficiaries.
