Delphi technique

Qualitative group decision-making process designed to avoid conflict between, or undue influence from, participants. The process derives its name from the oracle of Delphi in ancient Greece. A chairperson asks each participant to submit a written answer to a question. The chairperson then considers the replies, writes a summary, and passes the summary on to the group members. The participants then revise their original reply in light of the summary, and so on until a consensus is arrived at. The technique is especially useful when the participants are separated geographically, but it can be a very slow process.
