Today I am joined by Seb Hargreaves, the Executive Director of the Operational Research Society (ORS). Seb talks about the recent highlights in the journey of supporting strategic decision making using scientific methods. There is great news. Some of the society’s journals are becoming open access, meaning that it will be much easier for busy professionals to access full text papers. We talk about the amazing work of pro-bono within the society. This has enabled 3rd sector organisations to request professional help from the society’s members in making strategic decisions.
Seb talks about having a strategic review performed on the ORS, using the tools of Operational Research and how this has helped to align the society with the ever-changing external environment. The review has also provided an independent perspective on ways that the society can enhance its decision making, and where the society can focus strategically and operationally. Following on from the review Seb talks about re-branding, and some re-positioning in the journey that will ensure that the ORS is fit for the future. As well as being the professional society for decision making, the society itself is also an evolving enterprise.
