Article Synopsis
- Natural resource management often relies on expert judgement, but these judgements are usually made using untested methods, which can be improved with structured approaches like the IDEA protocol.
- The IDEA protocol was tested with 76 participants estimating future events on the Great Barrier Reef, using a four-step process that involved investigation, discussion, estimation, and aggregation of opinions.
- Results showed that using the IDEA protocol not only enhanced the accuracy of judgements through group collaboration but also clarified communication and encouraged rigorous review, making it a valuable tool in scientific decision-making.
