Using Expert Opinion More Effectively
Surveys-Traditional Samplingeffective only if the general
population knows the subject Groups-Focus, brainstorming,
nominal group technique Delphi
effective if it is a new technology known only by a few experts

General Rules of Thumb
If a technology achieves worldwide standardization, it will tend to see explosive growth.Fax Machines
Standardization can be through standards bodies (CCITT, IEEE, etc.) or defacto industry standard (Windows and Intel).

Constant Percentage Rate of Improvement
Most new technologies fit this trend pattern
Rates will remain the same if the basic assumptions are unchanged: The improvement is technically possible The product demand/need continues Basic approach remains the same
Subsidies may increase short term rates
Laws and regulations may decrease short term rates

Growth Models and Performance Envelopes
A frequently observed pattern for technologies which have natural limitsex. how many eggs can a
chicken physically lay each day? therefore, what is the maximum
possible egg production rate for a Tyson chicken farm?

How Can You Judge a Forecast Before the Fact?
Are assumptions specified? Is quantitative evidence included? Does it follow a path of logic? Is the projected rate of
improvement comparable to prior rates?
If the forecast breaks from the past are substantial reasons offered?
Does it provide a basis for rational discussion?
