Kirytopoulos, K., Voulgaridou, D. and Leopoulos, V. 2010, 'Too many cooks spoil the broth, or may be not?', Proceedings of the 2010 PMI Global Congress EMEA, Project Management Institute, Milan, Italy, CD-ROM proceedings.
Decision making is an integral part of project management. Every key person in any organization faces situations on a daily basis where a decision should be made for resolving problems. Although every problem has multiple solutions, many restrictions and various ways to be addressed, there are also many techniques, methods and approaches proposed by scholars and practitioners that can be implemented to help increase our decision making effectiveness. The Forum will address this issue by engaging participants to reach a group decision using Group Analytic Network Process (GANP). As all participants should be equally familiar, the illustrative case that will be used during the Forum will be the selection of the town that will host one of the forthcoming PMI EMEA congresses. The results of this game will provide significant insights for the group decision making process, explore the proposed techniques and bring out the advantages and disadvantages reported in literature.
