2022 Winners
In 2022, there were 15 teams, composed of 2 to 3 students, in the three-day event.
The first day was AHP/ANP methods training, followed by hands-on practice with the decision-making software. In the afternoon, employees of Microsoft gave some perspectives about issues the company was facing. On the second day, the teams brainstormed the Microsoft issues they had heard about to formulate a decision model. They determined the factors, proposed solutions, and created an AHP/ANP decision model to find the best option. The final step was to prepare presentations for the judging the next day.
On the last day, panels of decision-making experts from around the world joined on Zoom with judges in the room to pick the winners. An interesting thing about the winners in 2022 is that they were two individuals who did not know each other before they were assigned to be on the same team and did not know anything about the AHP/ANP decision-making process.

The CDF Organizations
The International Symposium on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (ISAHP) is a biennial conference on multi-criteria decision analysis. It brings together researchers, teachers, students and users of AHP/ANP to share their research and experiences in decision making.
IJAHP is a scholarly journal that publishes papers about research and applications of the AHP and ANP
See our complete collection of books on decision making with the AHP and the ANP, the multiple criteria decision making theories created by Thomas L. Saaty. If you have to make complex decisions, by yourself or with others, read his original works.
The SuperDecisions is the only free educational software that implements the ANP and was developed by the team of the creator of the method, Thomas Saaty.
