Delphi Panel Basics
An Approach to Consensus Building
Description
This course provides a general overview of a widely used systematic consensus building technique commonly called a "Delphi" panel or process. This method is great to gather, vote on, and rank opinions of experts without holding a physical focus group. We will cover several Delphi basics and use a real world example of a study published by the teacher of this course using this Delphi technique.
