Explanation: 1. The nominal group technique is a structured, precise method of eliciting ideas and insights
from members with no direct exchange of ideas among the members. The Delphi technique
gathers information from group members using questionnaires. The group members never
meet face to face. Statistical aggregation gathers information by tallying responses to a poll
relative to a specific problem. Brainstorming is a technique that involves the interaction of
group members and the generation of lots of ideas about issues in a short amount of time.
