Delphi Groups

Delphi Groups are about the future. Careful construction and management enables such groups to transform the expertise and views of a panel of selected experts in their field into a consensus on how given initiatives or policies will unfold and what their impact will be.

This technique is a particularly useful tool for creating a valuable picture of future issues, and developing scenarios for policy testing.

Delphi exercises are most effectively implemented in small, very carefully balanced group meetings but they can also be facilitated electronically. Pye Tait usually records the events for further and deeper analysis.
