The nominal group technique is a group decision-making technique that encourages equal participation and input from all members of a group. This technique can increase acceptance of the results because all participants have had the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas, leading to a sense of ownership and agreement with the final decision. Additionally, the technique can generate an exchange of ideas among the directors of all divisions, as requested by the CEO. The other options, trend analysis, regression analysis, and both informal and formal expert forecasts, may not necessarily lead to increased acceptance of results or encourage group participation and input.
