Delphi Technique
The Delphi technique
- Is a lot like brainstorming
- But in a virtual meeting
- And people don't necessarily know each other
- And may participate anonymously
- A facilitator shunts messages back and forth
Comments on the Delphi technique
- Avoids affect of group influence on the final decision
- Email is a god-send for economic processing
- Not as fast as a face-to-face meeting
- Can be difficult to get people to respond
- If they don't see any personal gain from the exercise
