Interacting Group

Delphi Group

Nominal Group

Due to the relatively unstructured discussion among group members, political processes may have too much influence on the group$$s decision.

After group members read each other$$s proposals, they discuss them and then vote; the highest$-$ranked alternative after the vote is considered to represent the consensus opinion.

Group coordinators present the $$average$$ opinion to the group members, who provide opinions in multiple rounds until they are in agreement.
