Collaborative decision making is at the root of most successful teams in the world. But what is collaborative decision making, really? We can define it as the outcome when a team of individuals reaches a consensus. This consensus should be on the best possible solution, chosen from within a set of few proposed. But reaching a consensus between a group of opiniated people with the different personalities, cultural backgrounds, titles etc. is not easy. Very often meetings that supposed to bring a consensus end with no decisions and a lot of frustration.
Please join us for a 2.5 hour workshop to get insights into a diamond of participatory decision making, divergent and convergent thinking, a groan zone. Learn what facilitation techniques work best in each case and practice facilitating group decision in small groups.
