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. 

Who this course is for:

  • Graduate students
  • Junior faculty
  • Researchers interested in a structured approach to consensus building or forcasting
