NGT follows a systematic process, typically consisting of the following steps:
Introduction and Explanation: The facilitator explains the problem or issue at hand and outlines the NGT process. Silent Generation of Ideas: Participants independently write down their ideas without any discussion. Round-Robin Sharing: Each participant shares one idea at a time, which is recorded for everyone to see. This continues until all ideas are exhausted. Discussion: The group discusses each idea for clarification and evaluation, but no criticism is allowed. Voting and Ranking: Participants rank the ideas, usually through a voting process, to identify the most preferred solutions.
