There is some promise of how decisions could take advantage of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). That has been slow to develop.

Today we augment some ODM decisions with AI and with analytics, but I expect that in the next several years we will see much more growth in this area. ODM has recently released support for Decision Modeling and Notation (DMN) models that can be authored and executed right within the product. This too is an area that is in its early stages and I expect will mature quickly to an enterprise level.

Room for Improvement
