Check list of the Delphi Technique: Attendees are told their input is important and might even be referred to as "stakeholders". Polls, surveys or questionnaires are generally presented. The questions are designed to support a pre-determined outcome. They rarely have a "none of the above" choice. The group is generally divided into smaller groups and assigned a small aspect of the bigger issue. Participants in each group are not privy to the comments/concerns of the other groups. Each 'break out group' will have a facilitator that will 'guide' their discussion. Eventually the smaller groups will come together and share their 'findings'. If you disagree with the 'premise' of the policy or choices being offered, you are likely to be marginalized or even insulted. This permits the planners to control any dissent to the predetermined outcome.
