Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique described is "point-counterpoint", where the decision-making group is split into two subgroups with different responsibilities. This technique allows for a thorough examination of multiple perspectives and can help prevent groupthink. Brainstorming involves generating a large number of ideas without judgment, devil's advocate involves appointing someone to argue against the prevailing view, and rigorous debate involves a formal structured debate with set rules. None of these techniques involve breaking the group into subgroups with competing responsibilities.
