The George Boole Foundation Limited was established in 2010 to commemorate George Boole’s immense contribution to the world’s ability to manage data, information and knowledge and decision analysis in support of the management of all realms of human endeavour. In 1854, George Boole published the book “The Laws of Thought” that explained human deduction and decision-making. He described his mathematical logic, now known as Boolean logic, and a design technique, Boolean reduction. Today these are the foundation of some 99% of the world’s integrated curcuit design, software, decision analysis systems, artificial intelligence, design and operation of computers, logic circuits and communications systems, including the Internet.
George Boole was born in Leicester, England, in 1815 and died in Cork, Ireland, in 1864.

The Foundation was created as a non-profit company dedicated to the provision of management consultancy and useful services based on our applied research and development of decision analysis, economic policy design and the development of useful digital devices and online services based on Boolean Logic in support of the achievement of sustainable human wellbeing.
From the date of its registration the Foundation coordinated two initiatives through SEEL-Systems Engineering Economics Lab:
- DAI-Decision Analysis Initiative 2010-2020
- OQSI-Open Quality Standards Initiative 2010-2020
The DAI identified and implemented a series of decision analysis models to support the creation of an advanced project design and management system for sustainable agricultural projects. Part of this work involved the identification under the OQSI of improved standards and procedures to lower the risk of project implementation and management.
