A critical appraisal of the key deficiencies in risk workshop methodology that may lead to them producing of misleading or useless data

Sunday, 7 December 2008

My view is that workshops are great to bring out ideas about risk issues. However, they are hopeless at getting quantitative info. For that, I believe the 1 to 1 interview is better, and then compare estimates. Delphi method suck.

Also a workshop can be a place where people don’t really speak their mind, but will do (more often) if the 1 to 1 is anonymous.
