Machine learning has made tremendous progress in predictive performance in recent years. Despite these advances, employing machine learning models in high-stake domains remains challenging due to the opaqueness of many high-performance models. If their behavior cannot be analyzed, this likely decreases the trust in such models and hinders the acceptance of human decision-makers. Motivated by these challenges, we propose a process model for developing and evaluating explainable decision support systems that are tailored to the needs of different stakeholders. To demonstrate its usefulness, we apply the process model to a real-world application in an enterprise context. The goal is to increase the acceptance of an existing black-box model developed at a car manufacturer for supporting manual goodwill assessments. Following the proposed process, we conduct two quantitative surveys targeted at the application's stakeholders. Our study reveals that textual explanations based on local feature importance best fit the needs of the stakeholders in the considered use case. Specifically, our results show that all stakeholders, including business specialists, goodwill assessors, and technical IT experts, agree that such explanations significantly increase their trust in the decision support system. Furthermore, our technical evaluation confirms the faithfulness and stability of the selected explanation method. These practical findings demonstrate the potential of our process model to facilitate the successful deployment of machine learning models in enterprise settings. The results emphasize the importance of developing explanations that are tailored to the specific needs and expectations of diverse stakeholders. |
