Helping a friend with value-focused thinking

Last spring I simultaneously worked as an assistant for and took the course ’Value-Focused Thinking and Decision Making’ by Professor Ralph Keeney from Duke University who was visiting Aalto University.

One of the homework assignments for the course was to select a good friend outside the class and to have an in-depth discussion with her about her values related to some important decision she will be facing soon. I had my discussion with Kati and it was about her values related to choosing where to work after she would graduate.

I promised to Kati that I would compile the results and later present them to her in a nice format. This took some time but I got it finally done. I thought the resulting material were quite nice so I asked her if it’s okay to share them on my blog. Thanks for letting me do that Kati!
