Nominal Group Technique
The Nominal Group Technique,
Automated

NGT works — but running it by hand doesn’t scale
On paper the Nominal Group Technique is brilliant: silent idea generation, round-robin sharing, private ranking. But doing it with sticky notes and a whiteboard is slow, painful to tally, and impossible remotely. OneMind automates every step so you get the fairness of NGT without the manual overhead.
Silent Idea Generation
Each participant writes their idea privately and anonymously — the silent-generation step that stops the loudest voice from anchoring the room.
Anonymous Ranking
Everyone compares the ideas two at a time and picks the better — a private, low-effort vote that captures honest judgment, free of social pressure.
Instant Convergence
OneMind tallies the rankings instantly and surfaces the group’s top idea — no manual scoring, no debate, no bias.
True Anonymity
NGT’s power comes from separating ideas from identity. OneMind enforces it — ideas are judged on merit, never on who said them.
Remote or In-Person
Run NGT with a distributed team or a room full of people. Everyone joins from any device with a link — no app, no account.
Automatic Scoring
The hardest part of NGT by hand is tallying the ranks. OneMind does it instantly, with a transparent, auditable result.

Questions
What is the Nominal Group Technique?
The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is a structured group method where participants first generate ideas silently and independently, then rank them anonymously, so the final result reflects everyone's judgment rather than the loudest voice. OneMind runs every step online automatically.
Can I run NGT remotely with OneMind?
Yes. Participants join from any device with a link, so OneMind runs NGT for distributed teams as easily as for an in-person room — no sticky notes or manual tallying.
Is OneMind free to run an NGT session?
Yes, OneMind is free and requires no account. You can start an NGT-style round in about 30 seconds.
How does OneMind tally the rankings?
Participants compare ideas two at a time, and OneMind aggregates those pairwise choices into a full ranking automatically — replacing NGT's manual scoring step.
