Homework 1:

1. What is shared understanding?

• The botton line is that everyone must be able form identical pictures about the situation and options on which it is to be decided on.
• Everyone has had the chance to express their opinions / offer information, and the final understanding is shared with everyone in a written form. There is no need to agree on the opinions, but on the facts. However, opinions must also be made known in order to understand the possible disagreements.
• The shared understanding agreed on (and understood) by everyone is written down to be shared with everyone.

2. What are co-creation skills?

• Co-creation skills include skills that are needed in when actually creating and managing an open decision process. The group making the decision must contain enough of these skills. Four main categories for co-creation skills are

1. Encouragement

• used to create the supportive atmosphere where participating is easier
• makes the decision process possible in operative way (maintainment, reviewing…)

2. Synthesis

• used to combine gathered information in a form that is useful and available to all possible (later) projects as well.

3. Open data

• change the available data to a form that can be used by assessment models in a useful way

4. Modelling

• used in making the assessment models; modular working, developing models and assessing uncertainties.

3. What are the properties of good assessment?

• In a good assessment information is evaluated based on different properties. Reviewing these properties can be used to evaluate different kinds of information, and can be applied to the whole decision-making or to just parts of it.
• Properties for good assessment can be categorized to three main categories (that, in total, include 9 sub-categories):

1. Quality of content : How well does the information answer the right question in a correct and specific way?

2. Applicability: How well can the information be used in real life to address the decision in question? – is it available and usable?

3. Efficiency: How resource-consuming is the assessment making process (taking into account the possible increase of efficiency in making new assessments later on)?
