Drivers for Change – Build Consensus
Equity Framework > Drivers for Change > Consensus Building
Consensus based decision making is a way of reaching agreement between all members of a group. Instead of voting for an item and going with the majority of the group’s decision, a group using consensus is committed to finding solutions that everyone actively supports, or at least can accept. This approach ensures that all opinions, ideas, and concerns are taken into account. Through listening and learning from each other, groups that build consensus aim to develop proposals that work for everyone.
