Tips for Successful Implementation
For successful implementation of a consensus and decision making technique it is key to ensure that all members of the group are contributing ideas and having the chance to be heard, and have their ideas equally considered amongst others contributions. It is also key to make sure that the idea and discussion being had is clear, and people understand exactly what they are discussing, and what the impacts of the decision will be and who they impact, because this may alter or influence the participants ideas and general feelings about a decision. Based on personal experience it is essential to have the situation being discussed in writing, so it is visual for everyone to see as the conversation proceeds and its also key to implement techniques that control the conversation to avoid over powering personalities from deterring others from being heard, or becoming intimidating to the rest of the group.
Providing visual aids, that show the groups progress, such as the use of a chart, where everyone has a space to contribute and then putting common ideas in the middle allows for people to our ideas down, without being verbal, insuring even those who are quitter are contributing and gathering common ideas shows popular and strong ideas to start with and build off of.
