"Group Decision Making with Multi-Objective Optimization and with multiple stakeholders" forms the core of the problem to be discussed. Stakeholders mean everybody interested in an issue. In a stakeholder society the decision-maker is not replaced by different decision-makers but by a complete set of stakeholders. Of course, a problem exists with convergence of their opinions. For daily operations a delegate will obtain delegation for decision making. For principal judgments such as for strategic decisions the convergence of opinions of the stakeholders is essential. This convergence is not reached with face to face meetings, but with nominal methods, in which face to face conflicts are left out. Delphi and Nominal Group Technique are recommendable nominal methods to be discussed. As an illustration two case studies are developed.
