View source for Organise an expert panel

== Objectives ==
Expert panels allow to hear a variety of informed ('expert') viewpoints from which to decide on recommendations or courses of action in relation to an issue or proposal; it is used  when highly specialised input and opinion are required for a project. 

== Method ==
* Select panellists on the basis of expertise, ensuring issues/groups of relevance are represented.
* Allow time for contacting experts for the panel, and negotiating a mutually suitable time. For very busy people, this can mean planning some months in advance.
* Employ a skilled and unbiased moderator.
* Provide background briefing information to panellists.
* Determine ground rules for the panel.
* Allow public input if possible and appropriate (see also: [[Fishbowls]]).
* Determine course of action.
* Present the outcomes of the panel discussions.

== Example ==
The Case study of Byron Shire Council (BSC) in New South Wales, showcases an excellent example of how a group with a limited budget used Expert Panel method  in order to increase community education, inform decision-makers and raise the level of awareness about a particular issue. <br/>
