La technique du groupe nominal (NGT
Le NGT est basé sur le principe selon lequel les individus peuvent produire des idées plus nombreuses et meilleures lorsqu’ils travaillent de manière indépendante, puis les partagent et les évaluent en tant que groupe. Le NGT comporte quatre étapes principales : la génération silencieuse, le partage à la ronde, la clarification et la discussion, ainsi que le vote et le classement. Le NGT réduit l’influence des participants dominants ou bruyants, encourage une participation égale et crée un résultat clair et transparent.
The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is a structured method for generating ideas in a group setting. Here's how it works: First, the facilitator presents a question or problem to the group. Then, each participant independently generates ideas and writes them down. Next, ideas are shared one by one, and duplicates are eliminated. Participants discuss and clarify each idea, and then independently rank them based on importance or feasibility. Finally, the group discusses the rankings to determine the top ideas. NGT ensures everyone's input is heard and considered, leading to comprehensive idea generation. It's a great way to harness collective intelligence efficiently.
O Grupo Nominal Técnica (NGT) é uma técnica de brainstorming em grupo onde os participantes contribuem com ideias que são registradas e posteriormente priorizadas por meio de votação ou discussão. É usado para gerar soluções ou decisões de forma colaborativa e eficiente. O principal benefício do NGT é facilitar a geração e priorização de ideias de forma colaborativa, permitindo que grupos cheguem a decisões ou soluções de maneira eficiente e inclusiva.
Avant d’utiliser le NGT, vous devez définir l’objectif et la portée de votre session, et inviter les participants pertinents et diversifiés. Vous devez également préparer le matériel et la logistique, tels qu’une question ou un sujet clair et concis, un minuteur, des stylos et du papier, un tableau à feuilles mobiles ou un tableau, ainsi que des points collants ou des cartes pour voter. Vous devez également expliquer les règles et les attentes du NGT aux participants, et vous assurer qu’ils les comprennent et les acceptent.
Para utilizar o NGT, é importante definir claramente o problema ou questão a ser abordada durante a sessão. Além disso, é útil identificar e convidar participantes relevantes com conhecimento sobre o assunto. Prepare também materiais, como flipcharts ou software de colaboração online Exemplo Mural, Google Docs, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Trello e Miro para registrar as ideias geradas durante a sessão.
Le NGT se compose de quatre étapes principales que vous devez faciliter et surveiller, en commençant par une période de génération silencieuse, au cours de laquelle les participants écrivent autant d’idées que possible liées à la question ou au sujet dans un délai spécifique. S’ensuit une étape de partage à tour de rôle, au cours de laquelle les participants lisent à tour de rôle leurs idées et les écrivent sur le tableau à feuilles mobiles. Après cela, la clarification et la discussion sont encouragées, tandis que les ambiguïtés ou les malentendus sont dissipés. Enfin, le vote et le classement ont lieu, soit en attribuant des valeurs à des points autocollants ou à des cartes, soit en demandant aux participants de classer leurs 5 ou 10 meilleures idées par ordre de préférence. Cela permet d’identifier les idées les plus populaires ou les plus importantes.
Para realizar o NGT, siga estes passos: prepare-se definindo claramente o problema, convide participantes relevantes, gere ideias individualmente, apresente e discuta as ideias, vote para priorizar, decida sobre as ideias prioritárias e aja de acordo. Este processo ajuda a garantir que todas as vozes sejam ouvidas e que as decisões sejam tomadas de forma colaborativa e eficaz.
Après avoir utilisé le NGT, vous devez documenter et communiquer les résultats, et prendre des mesures en fonction des idées. Vous pouvez résumer les principales conclusions et recommandations, et les partager avec les participants et les autres parties prenantes. Vous pouvez également solliciter des commentaires et des suggestions d’amélioration, et évaluer l’efficacité et l’impact du NGT. Vous devez également planifier et mettre en œuvre les prochaines étapes, telles que des recherches, des analyses ou des actions supplémentaires, en fonction des idées prioritaires.
Após utilizar o NGT, é importante fazer o acompanhamento das decisões e ações definidas durante a sessão. Isso pode incluir: 1. Documentar as ideias geradas, decisões tomadas e ações acordadas durante a sessão NGT. 2. Designar responsáveis para cada ação e definir prazos claros para sua conclusão. 3. Acompanhar regularmente o progresso das ações e garantir que estão sendo implementadas conforme planejado. 4. Realizar reuniões de acompanhamento para revisar o progresso, ajustar planos conforme necessário e resolver quaisquer desafios ou obstáculos que surjam. 5. Comunicar regularmente o progresso e os resultados alcançados para todas as partes interessadas envolvidas no processo.
Le NGT présente plusieurs avantages et défis que vous devez prendre en compte et résoudre. Par exemple, il peut améliorer la créativité et la diversité des idées en permettant la contribution individuelle et collective, ainsi que favoriser la collaboration et le consensus en impliquant et en responsabilisant les participants. Il peut également réduire les préjugés et les conflits en minimisant l’influence de la pression sociale et de la pensée de groupe, tout en produisant des résultats clairs et exploitables en hiérarchisant et en hiérarchisant les idées. D’autre part, cela nécessite une préparation et une facilitation minutieuses en fixant la bonne question, le bon moment et les bonnes règles. Il peut également limiter la profondeur et la qualité des idées en limitant le temps et la discussion, négliger certaines perspectives et nuances en simplifiant et en quantifiant les idées, ou ne pas s’attaquer aux causes profondes et aux solutions en se concentrant sur les symptômes et les options.
The structured approach to the Nominal Group Technique can be both a benefit and a challenge. The structure can make it easier to facilitate, and it ensures that quieter members have a voice and that ideas are generated and prioritized democratically, leading to a more inclusive decision-making process. The challenge with the structure is that it can sometimes limit open discussion and the organic development of ideas, potentially overlooking the benefits of dynamic group interactions. My advice is to use it alongside other brainstorming activities, this way you can ensure that you are helping the group to generate the best and most creative responses.
@randy I agree with your summary, and I would give something similar, if asked for an explanation. However, I would also add that facilitating NGT effectively is also important. I've have people go off-track, or disengage, or give up because they were not fully ready to participate. So, I feel that NGT should not be rushed, but inserted into a learning event AFTER the team has had some time to get to know each other, get into the topic at hand AND has demonstrated an interest in being a part of the process. This positions the participants to engage more effectively.
Where possible, extend that time by making it a homework assignment. People who need time to process will do that much more effectively when left to do so on their own time. I know for me personally, I sometimes find it a distraction and hindrance to my thought process if I'm sitting around other people even if no one is saying anything (I'm not alone on that; it's a thing). This requires planning and structure, but that's often the recipe for the best outcomes, and also something we don't do enough of. It's a great habit to build!
To use the Nominal Group Technique effectively, start by giving each team member equal opportunity to contribute ideas in writing, which reduces the influence of dominant personalities. Then, discuss these ideas as a group to clarify and evaluate them before individually ranking them. This democratic approach can lead to more diverse contributions and a well-rounded decision.
It is important that the facilitator manages the discussing of all the ideas so that ideas are improved on or expanded versus critiqued and dismissed.
It is all about how diversity, inclusion and equity works in the teams. NGT helps to activate this culture and apply it in the practice. There are 3 main drivers which help teams succeed or fail them. It is about psychological safety, motivational drivers and cognitive diversity. We practice it as a part of @ICQ Global and help teams focus on their specific gaps. NGT is all about the diversity and inclusivity not on the paper, but in the practice. The more you consider different perspectives the more stronger your approaches and solutions.
É importante designar um facilitador para guiar o processo, registrar as ideias geradas e as decisões tomadas durante a sessão. Além disso, é útil documentar as etapas do NGT, como a lista de participantes, as ideias geradas, os resultados da votação e as ações a serem tomadas após a sessão. Isso ajuda a garantir que o processo seja documentado e que as decisões sejam implementadas conforme planejado.
