What is the primary focus of the Nominal Group Technique (NGT)?

Generating ideas in unstructured brainstorming sessions
Discussing options with no limitations
Collecting and evaluating ideas through rounds of suggestions
Allowing for immediate critique of suggested ideas

The correct answer is: Collecting and evaluating ideas through rounds of suggestions

The Nominal Group Technique's primary focus is indeed on collecting and evaluating ideas through rounds of suggestions. This structured method is designed to ensure that all participants have an equal opportunity to contribute their ideas while minimizing the influence of dominant individuals in a group setting. In NGT, participants independently generate ideas and then share them one by one in a round-robin format. This allows for a comprehensive collection of diverse viewpoints without the pressure of immediate group discussion or criticism that can stifle creativity. After all the ideas have been shared, participants rank them, which aids in evaluating the contributions objectively. This process enhances participation and results in a more democratic approach to decision-making and problem-solving, making it effective for generating and refining ideas within teams. Options that focus on unstructured brainstorming, discussing without limitations, or immediate critique don’t align with NGT’s systematic and methodical approach.
