Anyone with a web browser and Internet connection can participate in an <b>i-Delphi</b> project, regardless of location or time zone. Specialized facilities, equipment, and software are unnecessary.</font><P><font face="Arial"><b>i-Delphi's</b> new web-based software provides all functions needed for successful <b>i-Delphi</b> projects: information dissemination, anonymous interaction, response collection, and immediate feedback. Panelists can participate simultaneously or at their convenience. Cost and scheduling complexities associated with meetings are eliminated.</font><P><font face="Arial">Delphi projects are better when conducted with web technology rather than meetings because <i> all</i> panelist interactions are anonymous and all inhibitions associated with meetings are avoided.</font><P><font face="Arial"><b>i-Delphi's</b> server-based software was designed so projects evolve with speed and flexibility, just as in meetings. Browsers enable panelists to provide contributions in any useful way, from numbers to free-form text. Each active project is continuously managed by a consultant/facilitator to assure that full benefits of the <b>i-Delphi</b> system are realized.</font><P><font face="Arial"><b>i-Delphi's</b> software provides immediate feedback in various forms including tabulations and summaries of panelists' input. That enables iterations, the heart of the Delphi method, to be accomplished more quickly and effectively than ever before.</font><P><font face="Arial">Eliminating traditional constraints of distance, time, and cost greatly enhances the likelihood that desired panel members can and will participate.</font> <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr><td> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#c0c0c0" valign="center" align="middle"><font color="#ff0000" size="3" face="Arial"> <A href="xtour05.htm">Next page</A> </font></td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> </td></tr> </table> <p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="1">  <br>Please note that this version of these pages was prepared for browsers which, like the one you're using now, lack frame-handling capability.
