CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of common problem-solving tools and techniques

The Nominal Group Technique addresses dominance issues by having participants write ideas silently before sharing. This ensures all voices are heard equally, regardless of personality or seniority, before group discussion and voting takes place.

**Why not A:** Force field analysis maps driving and restraining forces related to a change or decision. While useful for understanding dynamics around a proposed change, it does not directly address the problem of dominant participants suppressing input from others during idea generation.

**Why not C:** Brainstorming with a strict time limit may still allow dominant members to control the discussion. A time limit constrains the duration but does not address the underlying participation imbalance. The Nominal Group Technique's silent writing phase specifically ensures equal contribution.

**Why not D:** The Delphi Technique requires anonymous written expert responses across multiple rounds and is typically used for distributed expert consensus. While it ensures anonymity, it is overly complex for a team meeting scenario. The Nominal Group Technique provides equal participation more efficiently in a face-to-face setting.
