The Delphi method is a structured process for collecting forecasts from a group of experts. It involves gathering a panel of experts anonymously to answer questionnaires in multiple rounds. Responses are collected after each round and shared anonymously with the group. This process is repeated until consensus is reached. The method allows for organized group communication and cost-effective collection of forecasts and assessments of complex issues from experts.
