HOW CAN THE DELPHI METHOD BE AN ALLY IN THIS POST COVID-19 WORLD?

 


We are still living a global all hands on deck period. The world is trying to find a way to work together and, at the same time, flatten the Covid-19 curve, keeping ourselves healthy and safe. Meanwhile, the global market is working on providing the best and most timely research, analysis, and news coverage on COVID-19, to ensure accurate information – what seems to be more difficult than usual – and, that way, improve the world’s public health technologies and bring solutions for this period of crisis.

We had to recreate the way we do business and how we manage information exchange, even with the barriers of social distance. Companies around the world are working on public health solutions against the virus, while technological ideas to support the market began to appear more often in order to reduce human interactions, maintaining worker's productivity, and generating automation. 

Considering this new reality, collecting information from clients, suppliers, and the community has become even more challenging, hereby the process of engaging people has to take place in a non-face-to-face format.

The Delphi Method was developed to facilitate formal discussion among selected experts and stakeholders around a particular topic, where they have the opportunity to exchange their knowledge/ opinion anonymously about a complex topic. With a focus on a systematic collection and aggregation of informed judgment, the method encourages the participants to share and change their opinions – if needed - over some rounds. The aim is to obtain a reliable group opinion and build consensus. 

This method has been used for years and now it is even more needed. Delphi, in a web-based format, is the best solution for those in search of building consensus and we can prove it, because of its attractive and uncomplicated form:
  • Ensures anonymity avoiding social pressure 
  • Engages participants in a non-face-to-face format 
  • Combines individual judgments to lead to a “process gain”, considering that groups may perform better than their best member alone 
  • Allows each participant to respond at its own pace and time even when they are geographically dispersed or without time 
  • Delivers controlled feedback and statistical summary of answers 
Indeed, the virus is still out there. Let’s do our best to keep ourselves safe and, at the same time, generate interaction and knowledge, adding value to our business and helping the world to get closer to the end of this crisis. We believe Delphi can be the best solution.
Would you like to give it a try? You are welcome! Our user-friendly and responsive web-based platform implements the Delphi Method and helps you to build consensus among participants, geographically disperse or with a busy agenda, in a non-face-to-face format, and with real feedback.
