DESCRIPTION:Prof. Alessio Ishizaka\nThis seminar will be live-streamed at 
 the following link: https://epfl.zoom.us/j/227165800\n\n\nIn today’s inc
 reasingly globalised and complex economy that is flooded with data\, takin
 g decisions is a much more complex task. To help managers to tackle this c
 hallenge\, we have developed a new multi-criteria performance management m
 ethod that provides input for visual management and continuous improvement
  initiatives.\nIn the first part of the talk by Prof Alessio Ishizaka\, vi
 sual management tools on energy planning are applied. Although Multi-Crite
 ria Decision Making methods have been extensively used in energy planning\
 , their descriptive use has been rarely considered. In this paper\, we add
  an evolutionary description phase as an extension to the AHP (analytic hi
 erarchy process) method that helps policy makers to gain insights into the
 ir decision problems. The proposed extension has been implemented in an op
 en-source software that allows the users to visualize the difference of op
 inions within a decision process\, and also the evolution of preferences o
 ver time.\nIn second part of the talk\, the innovation performances of sma
 ll and medium enterprises from the French Lorraine region are assessed by 
 integrating visual management tool with PROMETHEE.\n\nAlessio Ishizaka is 
 Full Professor in Decision Analysis\, research lead and Deputy Director of
  the Centre of Operations Research and Logistics (CORL) at the Portsmouth 
 Business School of the University of Portsmouth. He received his PhD from 
 the University of Basel (Switzerland). He worked successively for the Univ
 ersity of Exeter (UK)\, University of York (UK) and Audencia Grande Ecole 
 de Management Nantes (France). He has been visiting professor several univ
 ersities. His research is in the area of decision analysis\, where he has 
 published more than 70 papers. He is regularly involved in large European 
 funded projects. He has been the chair\, co-organiser and guest speaker of
  several conferences on this topic. Alongside his academic activities\, he
  acts as a consultant for companies in helping them to take better decisio
 ns. He has written the key textbook Multicriteria Decision Analysis: metho
 ds and software.\n\n
