What is the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)?
The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a structured technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions, based on mathematics and psychology. It uses a pairwise comparison approach to more accurately order priorities for decision making. AHP has been studied and refined extensively since its inception in 1970, and it is now used by businesses, governments, and academia around the world.
Why Definitive Pro™?
Using Definitive Pro™, organizations can have their decision participants use smartphones, tablets, or laptops to provide their judgments and be a part of the consensus building process. No longer do all decision participants need to be in the same room at the same time, which makes decision-making better and faster.
