Both the Delphi technique and NGT have had excellent success records. Basic differences between them are: 1. Delphi participants typically are anonymous to one another, while NGT participants become acquainted. 2. NGT participants meet face-to-face around the table, while Delphi participants are physically distant and never meet face-to-face. 3. In the Delphi process, all communication between participants is by way of written questionnaires and feedback from the monitoring staff. In NGT, communication is direct between participants.
Student examples will vary.
