The Delphi Technique |
Recently, a fascinating item on The Delphi Technique was posted at:
http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=4231334&tstart=0
The following is an excerpt:
<<The Delphi Technique is a calculated method some administrators (such
as school superintendents), committees (such as a school committee or
school building committee), group facilitators and special interest
groups (some ballot question groups and less-than-honorable
architectural firms) use to achieve "consensus." Through the use of the
Delphi Technique and the promotion of an "us" vs "them" mentality among
the citizens of a community, dissenting voices are identifed,
marginalized and discredited and the (often hidden) agendas of various
groups and controlling individuals promoted.>>
I had never heard of this Technique, but it is a perfect description of
what I have been witnessing for more than 15 years.

If you've ever been on a school committee, or attended an in-service
designed to talk about some new project, and you wound up with a vague
feeling that something wasn't quite fair -- you may have been Delphi'ed!
There are many links and more info about Delphi at this address:
