DAS/SDP Practice Award
Purpose of the Award
The Decision Analysis Practice Award, a collaborative endeavor of the Decision Analysis Society (DAS) and the Society of Decision Professionals (SDP), seeks to recognize excellence in the field of decision analysis. This prestigious accolade is presented annually to the most outstanding decision analysis application, as appraised by a distinguished panel comprising members from both societies.
The award not only bestows honor but also includes a noteworthy $750 cash prize. Furthermore, as a testament to our commitment to furthering the reach and impact of the recipient's work, we offer valuable assistance in navigating the path to publication in a suitable journal, should the awardee wish to do so.
Additionally, the recipient of the Practice Award is extended a unique opportunity to share their expertise and insights. They are cordially invited to present their award-winning work at the Society of Decision Professionals Annual Conference and Workshops, formerly known as DAAG, the following spring. This platform provides a valuable avenue for the dissemination of groundbreaking ideas and advancements in the realm of decision analysis.

FOSTERING PARTICIPATION & KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION PROCESSES IN REAL SETTINGS THROUGH DECISION ANALYSIS AND COLLABORATIVE VALUE MODELING
BY: Mónica Duarte Oliveira and Team Members Carlos A. Bana e Costa and Ana Vieira
To address the challenge of effectively engaging many stakeholders and experts in real-world decision analysis processes, both for knowledge construction and for stakeholder engagement, we have developed the Collaborative Value Modeling (CVM) framework. The CVM combines large-scale participatory Web-Delphi processes with smaller-scale decision conferencing or workshop processes to promote agreement in different modeling stages of multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). |
