ChoiceAnalyst Pair Selection
Mentally sorting through a decision analyzing 5 choices compared by 7 criteria is an extremely daunting task. However, it is truly amazing how simple a large, complex problem can become when broken down to just picking the better of two choices.
ChoiceAnalyst provides a process where you only consider two employees and one criterion at a time, such as "who has better leadership ability, Barbara or Colin?"
On the sliding scale you simply identify whether Barbara's "Leadership Ability" is better or worse than Colin's, and by about how much. You would then be presented the next pair of employees to judge for this same criterion, and so forth.
After each Decision Maker has gone through the paired choices for each criterion, ChoiceAnalyst is then ready to analyze all the input and calculate the best choice. You merely select the "Evaluate" option and ChoiceAnalyst will factor all of the Decision Maker's input and present the results in ranking order.
In this case the clear best choice for receiving the promotion is employee number four, Colin Preston.
One of the significant powers of ChoiceAnalyst is streamlining. Only a "sampling" of all possible pairs of the choices is presented for you to judge, rather than requiring you to go through all the possible pairs. This allows very large and complex problems to be analyzed in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take.
The ChoiceAnalyst multi-criteria decision calculation engine is based on a solid mathematical foundation. Should you like to be emailed the whitepaper "What's behind ChoiceAnalyst", you can request it on the form that follows.
