The difference between the nominal group technique (NGT) and the Delphi technique is that unlike the NGT, the Delphi technique involves creating a series of open-ended questions for group members. The NGT involves generating ideas individually and silently before sharing them with the group. Both techniques can be conducted remotely without requiring panel members to gather in one place. The NGT doesn't increase a-type conflicts, and there's no evidence to suggest that it produces better decisions than other approaches like devil's advocacy and dialectical inquiry.
