Abstract
This paper summarizes a research path in the area of Multicriteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) in order to propose, test and refine an implementation model of a decision support process that uses VIP Analysis Software (Variable Interdependent Parameters Analysis). This path followed an Action Research methodology, based on interventions in three organizations. The results of this research guide decision facilitators on how to use the system and the use of cognitive maps as problem structuring method.
