Course Syllabus
Multi Criteria Decision Analysis evaluates multiple, complex and often conflicting criteria presented by a variety of individual stakeholders and stakeholder groups, as part of the decision-making process. Whether stakeholders present as individuals or as groups with a shared agenda, they are subject to the typical array of cognitive biases. The diversity of stakeholders contributes both to the variety of criteria, the range of options to be considered and the impact of unrecognized cognitive biases.
The usefulness of effectively engaging with stakeholders in the Multi Criteria Decision Analysis process has been recognized as fundamental to the robustness of any decision and to the success of decision implementation and longevity. While the practice of Multi Criteria Decision Analysis has expanded and commitment to stakeholder engagement has grown, the impact of a variety of cognitive biases on the criteria and options being considered and, on the persons, making the final decision is not well represented in the literature.
