Key Concepts & Definitions

Delphi Technique: A structured method involving multiple rounds of questionnaires sent to a panel of experts. The process aims to gather and refine expert opinions iteratively to reach a consensus on complex issues.

Questionnaire Rounds: Sequential surveys distributed to panel members, where each round builds upon the feedback from the previous one. The initial round gathers broad opinions, while subsequent rounds focus on refining ideas.

Consensus Building: The process of achieving general agreement among panel members through iterative feedback and discussion. It involves refining ideas until a common solution or opinion is reached.

Panel of Experts: A selected group of knowledgeable individuals chosen based on clearly defined criteria. They provide informed opinions and insights during the Delphi process.

Feedback Report: A document that analyzes responses from each questionnaire round. It guides further questioning by highlighting areas of agreement or disagreement, facilitating iterative refinement.
