The procedures for selecting the topics that are in this report include a modified Delphi process
now refined over years of producing the NMC Horizon Report series, and it began with the
assembly of the advisory board. The board as a whole was intended to represent a wide range of
backgrounds and interests, yet with each member bringing a particularly relevant expertise. To
date, hundreds of internationally recognised practitioners and experts have participated in the
NMC Horizon Project Advisory Boards; in any given year, a third of advisory board members are
new, ensuring a flow of fresh perspectives each year.
