The Delphi technique is designed to gather and synthesize opinions from a group of experts through a series of questionnaires with controlled feedback, allowing for a wide range of views to be considered in generating long-term forecasts. This method is particularly valued for its ability to facilitate anonymous, critical evaluation and consensus-building among experts without the need for face-to-face meetings.
