Team Consensus Building

One 2-Hour Session
Introduction
Consensus is an effective decision–making process that produces high quality decisions, a high degree of member satisfaction, and group synergy. Groups using consensus take advantage of all resources, experience improved communication, and develop higher levels of commitment to decisions. Training and practice in consensus decision–making increases both group productivity and group cohesiveness.
Objectives
The participant will understand: (1) the relationship between decision–making strategies and strength of decision, (2) the concepts of synergy and vigilance, and (3) the process of reaching consensus.
