Can we allow humans to pick among different, yet reasonably similar, decisions? Are we able to construct optimization problems whose outcome are sets of feasible, close-to-optimal decisions for human users to pick from, instead of a single, hardly explainable, do-as-I-say ``optimal'' directive? In this paper, we explore two complementary ways to render optimization problems stemming from cyber-physical applications flexible. In doing so, the optimization outcome is a trade off between engineering best and flexibility for the users to decide to do something slightly different. The first method is based on robust optimization and convex reformulations. The second method is stochastic and inspired from stochastic optimization with decision-dependent distributions.
