As requested, I am publishing an application of Kepner-Tregoe methodology in selecting a candidate for the 2010 Philippine Presidential elections.

Decision Analysis Template

A template is provided below:

You can also download the voting-matrix spreadsheet from the FV site and customize it to YOUR preferences.

To guide you, a sample of a fully deliberated hiring decision is presented in “GETTING IT RIGHT: Employee Hiring & Retention”.

Filling in the Decision Analysis Template

Mandatory means that any candidate must meet these criteria without exception in order to be considered for a position.

Desirable means that once the candidate has met the Mandatory Objectives then he/she can be viewed and  rated as to how well he/she meets the Desirable Objectives, which have been prioritized on a 1-10 (Low- High) scale.

As each voter will have their own MUSTS and WANTS, feel free to revise the template accordingly. Some might even switch a WANT with a MUST and vice-versa.

Instructions for the MUST CRITERIA Section

Change your must criteria (A) as needed.
Type “Yes” if the criteria is met.
Type “No” if the criteria is not met.
Type “?” if the information is not available.

Instructions for the WANTS Criteria Section
Change your criteria (A) as needed.
Change your weight factor (B) as needed.
Make sure all weight factors are in the range 1 to 10; 1 to 10; 1 as lowest, 10 as highest
Fill in the raw score = 1 to 10; 1 as lowest, 10 as highest.

Computing the Weighted Scores

The weighted score is the product of a Desired Criteria’s weight and the raw score given by the evaluator.

When all the Desired Criteria has been scored, the evaluator can now compare the total points of each candidate.

The candidate who meets all the MUST criteria and has the highest score is the logical choice.

Have fun separating the BS from the dung!

p.s. Share your matrix! :)
