NOMINAL GROUP TECHNIQUE 2
Nominal Group Technique
The cross-functional, by-level grouping has strongly been recommended by the
consulting group as the first step. This group aims to promote an understanding of the priorities
and illustrate that different issues in various levels in the organization should be aligned. The
internal consulting team will facilitate the sessions and everybody in the team that a structured
approach will be more appropriate. This approach is the Nominal group technique (NGT). The
primary goal of the sessions is to organize themes to discuss with the whole group on what is
done well and what needs to change. The themes should be prioritized based on their
significance at the specific levels in the organization for which the cross-functional team is
composed.
The NGT was conceptualized and developed by Vandeven and Delbecq. NGT is a
decision making method that can be used by both large and small groups. This method is more
appropriate when decisions need to be made within a time limit but the organization wants to
consider the opinions of all individuals in the decision making process. NGT facilitates the
gathering of information from the respondents through the use of questions posed by the
moderator. The participants are then asked to prioritize ideas or suggestions provided by the
group members. The NGT method prevents one person from dominating the group discussion
and encourages all members of the group to participate. The results are presented in a form of
prioritized recommendations or solutions that represent the group's preference. NGT is an
effective method to use when the organization want to gain group consensus from different
people in the organization in creating a logical model and the lists of outputs is long and needs to
be prioritized (CDC, 2006).
