“…The ranking is usually based on criteria provided by the facilitator (Harvey & Holmes, 2012) and typically operationalize "preference". Operationalizing preference entails the elicitation of preferences (what option is preferred by someone), and the articulation of those preferences (clarifying what that preference entails, even in the absence of technical and/or quantitative jargon) (Coker et al, 2013;McMillan et al, 2014).…”

“…Subsequently, participants are asked to collectively prioritize the ideas and suggestions issued by the group members (Harvey & Holmes, 2012;. NGT is based on a combination of individual and collective reflection and eventually generates a list of prioritized actions and/or recommendations (Coker et al, 2013;Rankin et al, 2016). The NGT terminology is derived from the fact that participants are nominally in a group but are working individually during the first stage (Boddy, 2012).…”

“…The initiators of the method ) presented it as a process for "identifying strategic problems and developing appropriate and innovative programmes to solve them." NGT has since been employed in a wide range of fields including education (Vedros, 1979), consumer preference research (Coker et al, 2013), healthcare services (Harvey & Holmes, 2012), health promotion (Hutchings et al, 2013), criminology (Van der Laenen, 2015), and market and management research (Boddy, 2012). An exploratory search for the term "Nominal Group Technique" or "nominal group" in Web of Science yielded 1,076 documents, of which a relatively low number (14) related to environmental science and ecology.…”

Abstract1. The nominal group technique (NGT) is a qualitative method to elicit judgement from stakeholders.2. This paper reviews its application in the field of ecology and conservation. We aim to identify patterns in methodological variants, topics covered, scope, advantages and limitations of the technique.3. Although still not widely used, NGT has been used in ecology and conservation to achieve four main goals: to support biodiversity management, to identify stakeholder preferences and attitudes, to prioritize in capacity-building exercises and to explore novel concepts.4. Most NGT studies have been applied at local level. NGT is quite flexible and has been used in combination with a range of techniques (surveys, with the Delphi method and with multi-criteria analysis, as well as with the collection of ecological data).5. The amalgamation of individual and collective reflection and the coproduction of knowledge among participants in NGT allows for a depolarizing approach to the study and management of conservation issues.

“…However, the data these tools provide give little guidance to educators for course improvement. We piloted a technique to elicit specific and prioritised information for course evaluation . In this pilot, the physical examination course was found to meet expectations regarding the learning of evidence‐based physical examination, the building of skills and confidence in the proper techniques, and experiential learning.…”
