The policy Delphi method is a process that seeks to generate the strongest possible opposing views on the potential resolutions of a major policy issue, such as strategy and policy for infrastructure and engineering asset management within asset-intensive organisations. The objectives of the policy Delphi method are to: ensure that all possible options have been tabled for consideration, estimate the impact and consequences of any particular option, and to examine and estimate the acceptability of all the individual options. The committee process is commonly used to address a wide range of issues and decisions within organisations at management and operational levels. 1, record 1, English, - policy%20Delphi%20method

[...] le «Delphi politique» est utilisé pour générer les divergences les plus fortes à propos de solutions potentielles à une question politique majeure. [...] Le «Delphi politique» part du principe que le décideur ne souhaite pas qu'un groupe génère sa décision, mais aimerait qu'un groupe éclairé présente toutes les options et preuves à l'appui de son opinion. Par conséquent, le «Delphi politique» est un outil d’analyse des questions politiques, et non un mécanisme de prise de décision. 3, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20de%20Delphi%20politique

The wideband Delphi method involves greater interaction and more communication between participants than the classic Delphi approach. Group discussion occurs between rounds in which participants illuminate their statements and opinions. Traditional Delphi studies avoid face-to-face meetings to elicit genuine opinions and anonymous input. However, the wideband Delphi estimation panel discussion stage can clarify the major issues when "judgmental information is indispensable[,"] and is used to seek all requirements as "informed judgment[."] 1, record 2, English, - wideband%20Delphi%20method
