NOTES TO

INSTRUCTOR:

This lesson introduces participants to the terms and

processes of Nominal Group Technique (NGT) and Consensus

Decision-Making (CDM). The intent is to provide them

with enough information to function well during the TTJA

workshop, during which they must apply the guidelines as

they develop a task list and select tasks for training.

Refer to TTJA TEAM-R-1 for additional information on NGT

and to the TTJA Facilitator Guide to see how it will be

used in the actual seminar.

All team members and observers should participate as

trainees during this lesson.
