MAMCA workshop within the Rolecs project
On the first of October Shary Heuninckx and Thierry Coosemans hosted a MAMCA workshop in Leuven.
Do you have to deal with complex projects where several stakeholders are involved?
They are discussing about different possible options, but it difficult to find a common ground?
With the MAMCA, you can explicitly take their objectives into account and come to a good overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the different options. It enables policy makers or project developers to get an insight of what is at stake and see if there is a support for certain options by many stakeholders and how it could be implemented.
MAMCA can also be used as an evaluation tool, in which you can look at what the impact is or will be for all the different stakeholders. In this case, more data on the real impact of the different options can be gathered and one gets a structured overview of the impacts of the options for each of the stakeholders.
The MAMCA software can also be used for participation in real-life workshops. In this case a fruitful discussion can take place and in a few hours a complete set of preferences and evaluations can be gathered and discussed.

On the first of October Shary Heuninckx and Thierry Coosemans hosted a MAMCA workshop in Leuven.
In a new evaluation method called 'MOBRU', the MAMCA methodology will be used to evaluate the operational propositions by the stakeholders.
It will be the first time that MAMCA is tested and implemented within the context of the energy sector.
In January this year the book on MAMCA appeared in TR News Magazine, a bimonthly magazine of the Transportation Research Board.
“ The stakeholders I worked with enjoyed being able to actively see the different stakeholders and their criteria, as it helped them understand others perspective. ”
“ MAMCA's ability to carry out gradual and detailed calculations from the start of calculating the weight of criteria to the comparison of criteria to alternatives makes MAMCA a highly structured application that is easily understood by users. ”
“ MAMCA is powerful in its analysis of multiple stakeholder perspectives which is great. ”
“ MAMCA software performs all calculations automatically and is able to produce graphs that facilitate understanding for researchers. ”
“ For our study case MAMCA added extra value from the researchers point of view to get, as well as a problem framing, also a solution framing. This solution framing was due to the need of grouping the different proposals into alternatives in order to use the tool, and the work of finding the essential elements which compose the solutions are extremely important to better setup the second loop and the second co-design activity. ”
“ Interactive and interesting! Without a doubt this workshop offered memorable insights. ”
“ I really think that the MAMCA software suggests a very interesting, useful and novel approach! ”
“ I always enjoyed the Saturday workshops delivered and really appreciate the organization and dedication of you and the team. The workshops are very well designed and prepared. I learned a lot of practical skills and real business operations. ”
“ The MAMCA workshop was really successful. The software is well designed and it led to great interaction and discussion with the students. Moreover, by using the software, the students experience a theoretical model directly in practice. ”
