NGT (Nominal Group Technique)

The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is a structured method for group decision-making that encourages equal participation. It involves individuals silently generating ideas, then sharing them one by one in a round-robin fashion. The group discusses and clarifies ideas, then privately ranks or votes on them. This process helps prevent dominant voices from overshadowing others and ensures all viewpoints are considered, leading to a collective, well-prized decision. NGT is often used in meetings and workshops to efficiently gather diverse input and prioritize actions or solutions.
