The Nominal Group Technique

Article Abstract:

The Improved Nominal Group Technique (INGT) is an amended version of the Nominal Group Technique structured group problem-solving method developed by Andre L. Delbecq and Andrew H. Van de Ven in 1968. INGT gives more privacy to the participants than the original method, and thus encourages more honesty. There are several key elements, but the process can be varied as required without losing any of its strengths. The key elements include clearly defining the issue to be considered, allowing participants to spend time producing their own ideas privately and group discussion of ideas.

Workbook: creativity workshop - oodles of ideas

Article Abstract:

Conventional brainstorming can be very effective in producing ideas in a short time, but can also have some disadvantages, especially if not practiced properly. It may be better to use the idea-writing approach to brainstorming. This involves forming small groups to consider a problem. Each person lists ideas, and the lists are then passed round the group several times for additions to be made. This technique can be used for a number of purposes, including thinking up product ideas and establishing corporate goals.

Workbook: NVC - key ingredients

Article Abstract:

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) emphasizes present moment awareness of what is taking place within the individual and in others. It is centred around awareness of people's needs, and calls for action towards meeting those needs. NVC makes people aware of how to avoid dangers inherent in the language they are accustomed to using and encourages them to identify with feelings, requests and needs. It allows accurate understanding, ensures that conflict can be handled with confidence and encourages effective use of time.
