Techniques Covered

1. On-Site Observation

® Process of observing, interpreting, and recording problem-solving behavior while it takes place

® More listening than talking

® Some experts do not like to be observed

® Fear of ‘giving away’ expertise is a concern

® Process can be distracting to others in the setting

2. Brainstorming

® Unstructured approach to generating ideas about a problem

® All possible solutions considered equally

® Emphasis is on the frequency of responses during the session

® Idea generation, followed by idea evaluation

3. Consensus Decision Making

® Clear agreement regarding the best solution to a problem

® As a tool, it follows brainstorming

® Procedure ensures fairness and standardization in the way experts arrive at a consensus

® Can be tedious and take hours

® The rigidity of the consensus method can be a problem for many experts


4. The Repertory Grid

® Domain expert viewed as a scientist who categorizes a problem domain using his or her own model

® Grid used to capture and evaluate the expert’s model

® Experts see problems based on reasoning that has stood test of time

® A representation of the experts’ way of looking at a particular problem

® A grid is a scale or a bipolar construct on which elements are placed within gradations

5. Nominal Group Technique (NGT)

® Provides an interface between consensus and brainstorming

® Panel of experts becomes a “nominal” group whose meetings are structured in order to effectively pool individual judgment

® An ideawriting or idea generation technique

6. Delphi Method

® A survey of experts

® A series of questionnaires used to pool experts’ responses in order to solve a difficult problem

® Each expert’s contributions shared with rest of experts by using results of one questionnaire to construct the next questionnaire

7. Concept Mapping

® A network of concepts, consisting of nodes and links

® A node represents a concept and a link represents the relationship between concepts. (See next slide)

® An effective way for a group to function without losing their individuality

8. Blackboarding

® Assumes all participants are experts with unique experience

® Each expert has equal chance to contribute to the solution via the blackboard

® Process continues until the problem has been solved

® Diverse approaches to problem solving
