Research and Decision Making should be considered fun and a recreational activity - Founder/CEO

As easy as decision making seems, it is often times one of the most difficult activities of man, especially for people who lack sound justifications or evidence on which to base their decisions. Where there are no facts, evidence or data on which decisions are made, decision makers end up using their own perceptions, beliefs and subjective judgments. Decisions taken in this manner end up being biased and often lead to unintended consequences and regrettable results. Many decisions taken in both private and public places have been observed with these characteristics.

Many people cannot successfully carry out standard research towards having sound grounds for decision making. This causes many research proposals to die at initiation. For some who have the needed research competencies, they are often constrained by access to data. Most times, this is because the right tools for accessing the needed data were not designed, or the tools were not designed appropriately. These proposals tend to go extinct at the methodology stage. This is also akin to academic and empirical research.

Many Organizations, especially Non-governmental Organizations, are creating social impacts through their interventions. But these organizations do not know the exact kinds of impacts they are making, or the extent to which they are making these impacts, or the factors contributing to these impacts. Most times, these Organizations cannot say whether their impacts are successful or not. A lot lack the necessary tools for measuring their successes and communicating their impacts. In many cases, Non-governmental Organizations lack knowledge of the right programs to implement. Projects executed by government agencies, departments and parastatals also fall in this category.

For profit-making Organizations, many times when it comes to conducting business and market analysis to boost market presence, it seems a hurdle too hard to overcome. A lot of people have resources and business ideas but are not sure of what to invest in because they are not informed.
