- prioritise risk locations and circumstances based on a defined threat;
- define the vulnerability and resilience of organisations to natural hazards and extreme weather;
- judge alternatives when taking decisions and compare the outcome with the 'ideal' solution;
- decide in questions of ranking to define the best shop or product;
- analyse in questions of compliancy which elements score well and which don't;
- choose the best candidate in recruitment and selection;
- make the best choice in tender processes;
- find the best partner in a dating process;
- choose the best energy- or telecom provider for a specific group of customers.
The support of ORT will lead, in a verifiable and objective process, in a short timeframe, to a ranking of alternatives based on predefined criteria. The highest scoring alternative related to a reference, complies the most to the defined criteria. In the process, in which all stakeholders can be involved, the imphasis is based on facts, meanings and opinions will be made objective as much as possible. The outcome will give input for decision making.
