This paper presents the social systems theoretical framework and the procedural design of a group interaction procedure using a technique of iteration with control feedback named Imen–Delphi (ID). The ID procedure suggests an applied social systems technique that can improve the efficiency of a group of panellists to invent change through inter‐group discussions and attain some level of agreement regarding their preferred future change. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
