TALK TITLE: FOSTERING PARTICIPATION & KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTION PROCESSES IN REAL SETTINGS THROUGH DECISION ANALYSIS AND COLLABORATIVE VALUE MODELING

ABSTRACT: 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).
