Tony O'Hagan - SHELF: the Sheffield Elicitation Framework

SHELF Training, 3-6 September 2018

Course announcement

Tony O'Hagan and colleagues will be running four days of tuition on Expert Knowledge Elicitation with SHELF, on 3-6 September 2018.

It will be based on the very successful training we gave in January 2018, but with a few improvements.

The first two days, 3-4 September, will comprise a comprehensive short course, Elicitation with SHELF. This course will cover the principles of expert elicitation and the SHELF method, together with practical considerations in planning and running a SHELF elicitation workshop.

The key role in the SHELF method is that of the facilitator. The third day, Advanced Facilitation on 5 September, will be an intensive, small group, hands-on session for participants who wish to be trained to act as facilitators. Each trainee will gain practical experience of facilitating a SHELF elicitation workshop, using carefully designed and realistic scenarios. Trainees will also gain experience in another important role, that of recorder.

Attendance is limited to four trainees, and so we expect to repeat the Advanced Facilitation day on 6 September for another four trainees.

The tutors

The course tutors have extensive experience of conducting SHELF elicitations and of presenting training courses. The team comprises Tony O'Hagan, Jeremy Oakley, John-Paul Gosling, Kate Ren and John Stevens.
