Structuring involves identifying alternative courses of action, identifying objectives (sometimes called criteria) into a hierarchy, determining which objectives each of the alternatives contribute to, and identifying participants and their roles (based on governance considerations where appropriate).Īfter structuring a hierarchy of objectives and identifying alternatives, priorities are derived for relative importance of the objectives as well as the relative preference of the alternatives with respect to the objectives. Structuring is the first step in both making a choice of the 'best' (or most preferred) alternative as well as in optimally allocating resources to a combination of alternatives. The process involves combining logic and intuition with data and judgment based on knowledge and experience. The process is iterative and not necessarily one pass through a fixed number of steps. This might take the form of (a) choosing an alternative course of action, or (b) allocating resources to a combination (portfolio) of alternatives. Upon completion of an Expert Choice evaluation, you and your colleagues will have a thorough, rational, and understandable decision that is intuitively appealing and that can be communicated and justified.
