Consensus Decision Making
Consensus Decision Making is a collaborative process where a group seeks agreement on a decision that is acceptable to all members. Instead of voting, participants discuss their views and concerns, aiming to reach a solution that everyone can support or at least live with. This method encourages open communication and fosters a sense of ownership among group members.
The goal of consensus is not to achieve unanimous agreement but to ensure that all voices are heard and considered. This approach can lead to more creative solutions and stronger commitment to the final decision, as everyone has contributed to the outcome.
