Creative Decisions Foundation Events
T. L. Saaty Decision Making Ideathon
Swanson Engineering School, University of Pittsburgh
The panel of judges will be composed of professionals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences related to the topic at hand and the decision-making methods. Judges will include members from the international AHP/ANP community of academics and practitioners and professionals/executives that work with the business partner. The panel of judges for the preliminary and final rounds will differ.
Presentations will be judged based on the teams ability to analyze the information presented by the business partner, clearly define the problem to be solved, effectively use the decision-making methods, be creative in their proposed solution, and communicate a recommended course of action. Importance will be placed on the creativity of the proposed alternatives and the feasibility of the teams solution.
Judges will ask questions and give feedback at the end of each presentation.

The International Symposium on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (ISAHP) is a biennial conference on multi-criteria decision analysis. It brings together researchers, teachers, students and users of AHP/ANP to share their research and experiences in decision making.
IJAHP is a scholarly journal that publishes papers about research and applications of the AHP and ANP
See our complete collection of books on decision making with the AHP and the ANP, the multiple criteria decision making theories created by Thomas L. Saaty. If you have to make complex decisions, by yourself or with others, read his original works.
The SuperDecisions is the only free educational software that implements the ANP and was developed by the team of the creator of the method, Thomas Saaty.
