Delphi is the preeminent method for arriving at superior decisions, analyses, policies, and forecasts. It is particularly useful in situations characterized by limited existing knowledge, diverse opinions, conflicting interests, and need for expertise from multiple sources. Very briefly, a carefully selected panel responds anonymously to questions concerning a forecast, problem, or other area of inquiry. The group's aggregate views, reasons, etc., are fed back. Panelists reassess earlier responses in light of that feedback and address new issues raised by prior interaction. This iterative process continues until consensus or other outcome stablizes. The Delphi method has been used for forecasting, situation analysis, and development of action alternatives in a wide range of governmental, business, and public-interest contexts. Succeeding pages delve more deeply into the history of the Delphi method, its underlying principles, the new and innovative i-Delphi system, and details of our company.
