The right tool makes all the difference
i-Delphi is the preeminent tool by which experts, stakeholders, executives, and others collaborate to arrive at superior analyses, forecasts, policies, and operating decisions.
The Delphi method was developed for the Defense Department by RAND Corporation. Its original purposes were to improve forecasting of future military challenges and to enhance development and procurement of appropriate weapon systems.
From that start, the method's usefulness been confirmed in thousands of projects for businesses, governments, and other organizations. For example, it has been used to allocate R&D funds at pharmaceutical companies, to balance competing demands of major constituencies for regional development plans, to help a multinational company minimize the likelihood of expropriation in a foreign country, to assess threats posed by new competitive products and devise effective responses, and to help politicians and concerned citizens evaluate complex problems and devise appropriate action.
i-Delphi delivers the method’s proven benefits with unprecedented effectiveness, speed, and efficiency. That is accomplished through a combination of innovative, state-of-the-art Web software and long experience with earlier forms of the Delphi method.
