WHAT IS THE DELPHI METHOD The Delphi method is based on the conviction that a group of experts in a given subject has a greater capacity to make certain forecasts than a single expert considered in isolation. For this reason, this method has a diversity of experts who make the forecasts considered by approximations and through anonymous knowledge of the forecasts of others. That is, the Delphi method is articulated in a complex way in several phases or stages. It is neither a survey nor an analysis or discussion group, but rather it has methodological characteristics and uses qualitative and quantitative approaches at the same time, since it uses specially qualified and individualized people who provide an expert opinion and who are shared in a second phase of the Delphi Surveys.
