develops and disseminates innovative technologies that help individuals
and organizations to make effective decisions. Lumina pursues this
goal in two ways:
- By developing and marketing advanced software
for decision support.
- By providing consulting, contract research,
and seminars to help organizations make more effective use of
decision-support tools
Lumina's flagship software product, Analytica®
, is a quantitative decision-support environment that helps
people visualize problems with a clarity and power far beyond
what is possible in a spreadsheet. Existing applications of Analytica
include strategic planning, R&D management, decision analysis,
and risk analysis in finance, healthcare, energy, environment,
aerospace, and telecommunications. Analytica is being used in
major corporations, consulting firms, universities, and government
agencies, on six continents. Check out our Customer
List for a sample of our clients.
Lumina consultants work closely with clients
to develop models of the complex and uncertain environment faced
by their organizations. The focus of these models is to provide
insight into what matters and why as a basis for justified and
confident decisions. Lumina helps decision makers and experts
to represent their objectives and knowledge in intuitive yet rigorous
graphical forms. Using Analytica and other tools, we develop quantitative
models with a speed and flexibility unavailable with conventional
modeling tools. Typically, we help clients arrive at clarity and
consensus for immediate decisions, and provide them with a decision-support
system for continuing use for their future decisions. The Lumina
team brings to bear extensive experience in decision analysis,
risk analysis, operations research, software engineering, and
knowledge-based expert systems.
Lumina also provides tutorials and seminars in
decision analysis, risk analysis, and artificial intelligence.
We have presented invited tutorials at national meetings of The
Institute for Operations Research and Management Science (INFORMS),
the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), and
at numerous corporations and government agencies.
Lumina is committed to continuing research and
development to bring innovative decision technologies to individuals
and organizations. Recently developed products include Web-based
tools for personal and collaborative decision making.
