“…The latter technique is a structured communication process that can be used to survey and collect the opinions from experts on a given topic. While it has been used in areas such as policy development, program planning, and needs assessments, to name a few, it has also been successfully used in curriculum development (Custer and others 1999;Staggers and others 2002;Basinger and others 2009;Daud and others 2010;Manley and Zinser 2012;Mason and Schwartz 2012).…”

Identification of core competencies for undergraduates in food safety is critical to assure courses and curricula are appropriate in maintaining a well‐qualified food safety workforce. The purpose of this study was to identify and refine core competencies relevant to postsecondary food safety education using a modified Delphi method. Twenty‐nine experts representing food safety professionals in academia, government, and industry were given 2 rounds of questionnaires that specified initial food safety competencies, core domains, and subdomains. Competencies were defined as a set of skills, knowledge, and abilities that correlate to success of a trainee. The framework for which competencies were classified consisted of (1) core domains, defined as broad food safety subjects; and (2) subdomains, or more specific food safety subjects. The expert panel used a 5‐point Likert scale with an acceptance criterion, or consensus, of 75%, with a rating of “4” or greater. After 2 rounds of questionnaires and revisions from the expert panel, 5 core domains were established: (1) Food Production, Manufacturing, Retail, and Consumer; (2) Foodborne Hazards; (3) Public Health; (4) Legislation and Policy; and (5) Communication and Education. Specific responses from the experts highlighted areas in which further curriculum revision would be beneficial. This study provides a framework for the development of a vetted, standardized undergraduate food safety curriculum. The Delphi method, with its inclusion of professionals representing various sectors of food safety, provided relevant perspectives for curriculum design, and also allowed participants the opportunity to contribute to the education of future food safety professionals.

“…Some scholars could also find the number of experts involved in the paper questionable. However, the total number of experts in our paper meets the recommendations made by other scholars (Hallowell and Gambatese, 2009;Mason and Schwartz, 2012).…”

“…The objective of our study is to identify the required job-specific competencies for effective performance of the management in cluster organisations. The Delphi method has been applied by numerous scholars for identifying competencies, followed by the development of a competency model (Birdir and Pearson, 2000;Jordan, 2012;Mason and Schwartz, 2012;Moaveni et al, 2010;Ratanopas, 2012). Generally, this method is characterised as a qualitative technique that is well suited for the research of complex issues in specific settings (Grisham, 2009).…”

Recent studies highlight the significance of a competent manager for the long-term development of a cluster organisation. However, the key competencies required for managers have not been adequately studied. The main objective of this study is to identify the key competencies of managers and construct a competency model. The data was gathered using the Delphi method with three rounds involving a group of experts with prior experience in management of cluster organisations. The results identified nine key competencies, to further develop an innovation-intensive ecosystem based on the managers' abilities to manage, motivate, communicate, protect, analyse, and network. The final list of competencies provide practical implications for the selection and evaluation of managers and meet their development needs as well as those of cluster organisations, with insights from the Czech Republic. Additionally, the paper sheds some light on the theoretical overview concerning the management's competencies in a collaborative environment.

“…Such a guideline allows stakeholders to maintain awareness of current and emerging research practices such as CBPR and enhances their professional responsibility (American Counseling Association, 2014, Standard C.2.f; Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, 2015, Section 6.4.d). Identifying competencies for training and proficiency is one approach to curriculum development (Mason & Schwartz, 2012) that we believe can be particularly effective. This study not only identified the necessary competencies for best practices in CBPR, but organized the competencies into meaningful categories that pertain to the four critical domains of proficiency in a given practice: knowledge, skills, attitudes, and activities.…”

A gap exists in the counseling profession between research and practice. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is one approach that could reduce this gap. The CBPR framework can serve as an additional tool for translating research findings into practical interventions for communities and counseling practitioners. Stronger community partnerships between researchers and practitioners will further improve treatment for our clients. The purpose of this study was to develop competencies that would provide the foundations for a training guideline in CBPR. Using the Delphi method, an expert panel achieved consensus on 153 competencies (knowledge, skills, attitudes, activities). Competencies are significant for the profession because they establish best practice, guidelines of service, and professional training.
