The nominal group technique: Applications for training needs assessment
Training and Development Journal
(1982)
Abstract
Recommends that the nominal group technique (NGT), a structured group meeting conducted by a group leader, be performed on 3 analytical levels: organization, operations, and person. A principle value of the NGT is the emotional commitment developed by involving not only supervisors but potential trainees as well. Strengths and weaknesses of this training-needs assessment are discussed.
