CHAPTER 6 Ten Tips for Better Consensus Meetings
Every group facilitator has a favorite set of tools and techniques for helping people collaborate effectively. Here are ten tips I believe are most useful in consensus-based decision processes.
When and how you use these suggestions should be informed by your own style and intuition. For example, I can’t tell you exactly when to use silence or a meeting break as an intervention. This is a judgment you will gain through your own experience and experimentation. Additionally, these tips are not intended to be formulas or templates. In fact, I encourage you to modify them so that they become authentic expressions of your own unique approach to facilitation.
