Here's a summary of the provided assignment content: The Delphi Method is a technique used to avoid groupthink and biases in decision-making by maintaining anonymity, repetition, and controlled feedback. It was developed by the RAND Corporation in the early 1950s for a secret Air Force project. The method involves experts providing recommendations anonymously, which are then shared with others who can revise their responses based on the feedback. This process continues until consensus is reached or all sides of the question have been explored. Some potential drawbacks of the Delphi Method include manipulation by the coordinator and reduced motivation due to anonymity.
