The ADVIAN® classification — A new classification approach for the rating of impact factors

Identifying Critical Success Factors of Financial ERP System in Higher Education Institution using ADVIAN® Method

“…This study follows a series of stages to identify CSFs that were subjected to expert evaluation which has led to the determination of cross-impact matrix and subsequent application of ADVIAN®, which is discussed briefly in this section. The ADVIAN® [17,18] has been used in this study to determine the impacts that various CSFs have on a financial ERP system. This will allow cross-impact analysis that offers a provision for organizations to explore the current challenges and adequately prepare the right decisions for future endeavors in a manner that is participatory [5,8,17].…”

“…Matrice d'Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée à un Classement (MICMAC) addressed the inadequacy of direct impact [19]. However, this method along with other cross-impact analysis methods such as Papier computer and Fuzzy approach present intrinsic deficiencies because they consider either direct or indirect interrelations and fail to deal with both aspects concomitantly [5,[17][18][19][20].…”

“…Base on the method, CSFs can be identified reliably. However, it is limited because it does not measure the conditions of impact factors, but their interactions [18]. Hence, ADVIAN® does not give the status of a system, but rather identifies the important factors necessary for the entire system performance and regulation that justifies its application in this study.…”

Participative Future Scenarios for Integrated Coastal Zone Management

“…They have the power of producing drastic or unexpected changes over the area of study and therefore they can lead to very different futures. Critical factors are identified using an Impact Factor Grid as described in Linss and Fried (2010). II) Defining the scenario logics, or the conceptual skeleton to structure alternative scenarios based on the most important and uncertain drivers.…”

Capturing systemic interrelationships by an impact analysis to help reduce production diseases in dairy farms

“…For betweenfarm comparison, relative values were determined by dividing Active Sum (AS) and Passive Sum (PS) by the maximum value of both AS and PS per farm to rescale values between 0 and 1.Inspired by the works ofLinss and Fried (2010), two indices were obtained for each variable:…”
