Delphi Panels & Consensus Research Solutions

Triducive specialise in generating “consensus-led evidence” that is published and supports change in healthcare. They combine healthcare sector experience with structured expert consensus methods (including the Delphi Method) and support organisations across commercial, public and charitable sectors.

Triducive work with commercial (life-sciences), public (medical societies, governmental bodies) and charitable/NGO organisations.

Delphi panels are a structured, iterative process used to gather and refine expert opinion until consensus is reached. Experts respond anonymously to rounds of questionnaires, receive controlled feedback between rounds, and align on statements.

Expert consensus via structured methods like Delphi is more robust because it uses iterative rounds with feedback, anonymity (reducing bias), and systematic refinement of opinions to arrive at aligned, evidence-based statements. This is contrasted with informal surveys or unstructured focus groups, which may lack rigour and stakeholder diversity.

The key benefit is that the Delphi Method allows one to systematically combine expert opinion where empirical evidence is limited, build clarity, define standards or recommendations through an iterative, unbiased process, resulting in credible outputs that can guide practice and policy.

Consensus research is methodologically structured, uses iterative rounds, controls feedback, targets expert rather than general respondent panels, and aims for aligned statements or standards. Traditional market research and surveys often collect snapshot opinions, may not iterate or refine, and may not focus on reaching stakeholders’ aligned positions in a domain of professional practice.

Triducive design, facilitate and deliver Delphi consensus studies – typically recruiting a diverse expert panel (often across many geographies or stakeholder types), conducting rounds of anonymous questionnaires, providing feedback between rounds, and building agreement on key statements. They then support dissemination (publication in peer-review journals) and communication campaigns to turn consensus into action.

Triducive consider large and multi-disciplinary panels (up to hundreds of participants) to ensure a mix of viewpoints and geographies. They work globally and across many disease areas and stakeholder types.

Inclusivity is built into Triducive’s methodology. Panels are designed to represent a balance of perspectives: clinical specialties, geographies, experience levels and professional roles. Anonymity within the Delphi process ensures all voices are weighted equally, preventing dominance by more vocal participants and allowing minority or emerging viewpoints to contribute meaningfully to the final consensus.

A Delphi consensus study is most valuable where evidence is limited, fragmented or rapidly evolving. It is ideal for defining best practice in areas lacking strong clinical data, prioritising research needs, aligning diverse expert views, developing guidelines or frameworks, and informing policy or service design. Triducive often apply this approach in therapeutic areas with emerging treatments, complex pathways or multi-stakeholder decision-making.

Triducive use structured consensus to define or clarify best practice, build clarity in areas where empirical evidence is limited, support guideline or policy development, unify stakeholder views (clinicians, payers, policy-makers), and then amplify results through publications and curated communication campaigns to create real impact in healthcare systems.

Triducive support clients beyond publication by developing clear communication and advocacy strategies that turn consensus outcomes into practical change. This may include conference presentations, stakeholder briefings, infographics and digital campaigns, all designed to help decision-makers, clinicians and policymakers apply consensus findings in real-world settings.

Most Delphi consensus projects run between 7 and 9 months, depending on panel size, number of rounds, and publication goals. Triducive manage the entire process, from scoping and recruitment to analysis, manuscript development and dissemination – ensuring timely delivery while maintaining methodological rigour and participant engagement throughout.

Yes. Triducive frequently tailors Delphi-based studies for non-clinical stakeholders such as payers, policymakers, patient advocates. These studies focus on aligning perspectives across the full healthcare ecosystem, not just among clinicians, ensuring that resulting consensus recommendations are relevant, actionable and sensitive to system-level realities.
