With the Foresight Strategy Cockpit (FSC), the time required for setting up and evaluating extensive expert surveys can be reduced to a minimum. Participants can simply be imported into the system and invited and reminded by e-mail. The questionnaire can be designed dynamically based on rules to ask specific questions in a targeted manner.
Our RTD not only supports the evaluation of entities, but also offers participants the opportunity to write, evaluate and comment on arguments (Dynamic Argumentative Delphi).
Real-Time Delphi
Rate, discuss and explore feedback in real-time: Our web-based Real-Time Delphi (RTD) is an established method from Future Studies which combines a communicative approach using statistical data. With the power of real-time computation and group response delivery, RTD is offering new ways to create exploratory elements on for inferential analysis.

What is real-time delphi?
The world today is more unpredictable and complex than ever before. Changes in politics, economics, technology, society and the environment are closely intertwined. Understanding and anticipating them requires interdisciplinary and diverse expertise. To get a holistic picture of future developments, it is therefore useful to consult a large number of experts from different fields. With the help of the Real-Time Delphi method it is possible to do this quickly and easily. Furthermore, the method can be used to collect ideas and creative solutions.
Foresight Strategy Cockpit Real-Time Delphi
Our Real-Time Delphi has all the classic question types of social research, from free text questions to matrix questions to drag & drop ranking. Trends, risks, ideas, actors or technologies from existing foresight processes can also be evaluated, commented on and discussed concerning individual evaluation criteria. If required, participants can make a self-assessment of their own expertise for each question. This helps the subsequent evaluation and derivation of strategic measures. All information provided by participants remains anonymous.
Combining individual knowledge for consensus
Real-Time Delphi (RTD) is a further development of the previously used round-based expert survey. Nowadays, a Real-Time Delphi is conducted digitally and over a definable period. When answering the questionnaire, participants are confronted in real-time with the consolidated voting results of the group. They are motivated to participate several times to revise their assessment of the group‘s opinion if necessary. Consensus-building, even on controversial issues, is encouraged and ultimately simplifies strategic decision-making processes.

Evaluation in real-time
The progress of a survey can be monitored in real-time at the FSC while it is still being carried out. A variety of meaningful visualisations are available for the interpretation of the results. A complete report can be generated and exported with a few clicks. For demanding users, an export in tabular form is available for further statistical processing.

Overview of all Methods
You can download a complete list of our methods here.
- Reduce the amount of coordination and programs needed to manage trends and signals to a single software solution. Through a holistic aggregation of internal information, external expert knowledge and data-driven insights, every unit can collectively contribute to the assessment of relevant trends and their developments.
- Collaboratively discuss and rate ideas and other insights. New ideas can be easily created, edited and updated and if necessary, external knowledge can be included through survey methods.
- Monitor the stability and development of risks in VUCA environments and detect triggers and preventers for future crises.
- Establish and maintain a sustainable and efficient scenario management by including, linking and analysing all your organizational knowledge resources.
- Develop agile and future robust strategies and test them in different scenarios in order to be able to react quickly and appropriately to environmental changes.
- Rate, discuss and explore feedback in real-time: Our web-based Real-Time Delphi (RTD) is an established method from Future Studies which combines quantitative and qualitative expert data to gain new insights.
- Assign your technological know-how to business and market requirements, develop technology strategies and create tailor-made technology portfolios.
