| Nominal Group Technique
is a Team Tool used to generate a short
list of items to be acted on:
Stage 1:
- make sure the purpose of the activity
is clearly understood, as is the NGT procedure
- each member of the group writes down
ideas in silence
- discuss and clarify the ideas
Stage 2:
- cull the list of ideas to a manageable
size, say 50
- members are given index cards, around
one card for every 5 ideas listed
- group members write down their choices
of ideas on the cards, one choice per
card, and ranks the ideas
- summarize the scores on the whiteboard
and try to agree which will be actioned
