The
MG Taylor® Delphi Process
MG
Taylor has used this classic iterative
and recursive learning process for several
decades to explore a variety of complex systemic
issues.
The
Delphi Process can be used in a variety of context.
Frequently, we employ a delphi in conjunction
with an upcoming event, such as a 7
Domains® Audit.
This
process performs several important functions:
To
produce a common experience around a set of
ideas, the first step in moving from a 'crowd'
to a group of people learning and creating
new knowledge together;
To
establish a baseline and an awareness of assumptions
regarding the future, the nature of the organization
and its role in tomorrow's world;
To
extend the cycle of learning and feedback
beyond the bounds of collaborative event and
incorporate the insights and vantage points
of a larger community;
To
create a community of exploration in which
people working together can remain true to
their discoveries over time.
