THE NOMINAL GROUP TECHNIQUE A Group Decision Technique

Developed from the Contents of Reginald Leon Green’s Practicing the Art of Leadership: A Problem-based Approach to Implementing the ISLLC Standards Chapter 5

THE NOMINAL GROUP TECHNIQUE The nominal group technique is a structured process the school leader can use to identify and rank major problems or issues that need to be addressed.

USING THE TECHNIQUE School leaders often used the technique for: setting goals, identifying problems, obtaining suggestions for solving problems, or planning school programs.

A SAMPLE PROBLEM STATEMENT The problem statement should be open-ended, such as: "The best way to enhance teaching and learning in this district is to . . ." (Note: The leader should avoid any detailed clarification of the problem, such as providing specific examples).

THE PROCESS When using the Nominal Group Technique, six steps are followed.

THE SIX STEP PROCESS The school leader generates ideas from faculty members in a silent manner by asking them to write their ideas on slips of paper.

THE SIX STEP PROCESS Each faculty member contributes an idea in a round-robin manner. As ideas are suggested, they are written on a blackboard or flip chart.

THE SIX STEP PROCESS The school leader reviews the list, inviting discussion on each item by asking for questions, statements of clarification, or statements of agreement or disagreement .

THE SIX STEP PROCESS Based on the discussion, the school leader combines ideas through a preliminary vote.

THE SIX STEP PROCESS The school leader entertains additional discussion on the combined ideas.

THE SIX STEP PROCESS A final vote is taken.

NOMINAL GROUP TECHNIQUE Overview of the NGT process: 1. the generation of ideas in a silent manner 2. sharing of ideas in a round-robin fashion 3. group interaction around ideas 4. explanatory group discussion 5. individual re-assessment 6. mathematical tabulation of revised judgments

POSITIVE FEATURES The process allows the school leader to: Facilitate a meeting and identify the major strengths of a program. Motivate the faculty to complete a task, reaching consensus on the problem solution.

POSITIVE FEATURES The process allows the school leader to: Influence participation by all group members while keeping individuals from controlling the discussion. Establish priorities and reach consensus on school goals, problems, solutions, or program activities.

PRECURSORS School leaders should not allow: Evaluation of ideas one at a time; rather they should collect a number of ideas before evaluating any. This process increases creative solutions.

PRECURSORS School leaders should not allow: Faculty members to engage in discussion while ideas are being created.
