The lecture provides insight into various group decision-making techniques that can improve the quality, speed and efficiency of decisions, thanks to the diversity of perspectives and the collective knowledge of the experts involved. Techniques encourage participants to think diversely and creatively. The specificity of the task, team dynamics, complexity of the problem, and time factors significantly influence the choice of group decision-making techniques. Choosing an appropriate group decision technique can save time, increase efficiency and encourage cooperation within the team. By simulating different techniques and spotting their strengths and weaknesses, students will be able to identify which problem situation is best to use a particular technique.
