NGT Workshops
NWRI pioneered the application of the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) as a process for identifying, prioritizing, and developing approaches that address critical water issues.
The purpose of the NGT is to allow a group of experts to make decisions that cannot be made by one person alone.
At present, NWRI has held over 25 NGT workshops. Each 3-day workshop is facilitated by NWRI and underwritten by another organization(s).
NWRI provides resources and assistance in holding NGT workshops. Services include management, event planning, print-outs and/or publication development, registration, and event staffing.
Examples of workshop topics include:
- Hurricane Forecasting and Warning System
- Subsurface Monitoring Strategies
- Water Reuse Economic Framework
- Value of Water
- Calfed Bay-Delta Drinking Water Quality
- Seawater Desalination: Opportunities and Challenges
The end result of this workshop is a final report that documents the workshop in the participant's words. The workshop report is distributed to the workshop participants one week after the workshop.
