The Nominal Group Technique is a decision-making method for use among groups of many sizes, who want to make their decision quickly, as by a vote, but want everyone's opinions taken into account (as opposed to traditional voting, where only the largest group is considered). The method of tallying is the difference. First, every member of the voting group gives their view of the solution, with a short explanation. Then, duplicate solutions are eliminated from the list of all solutions, and the voters proceed to rank the solutions, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on. The numbers each solution receives are totalled, and the solution with the lowest total ranking is selected as the final decision.
