Consensus-building approaches

Consensus-building approaches are methods used to help a group of people reach an agreement that everyone can accept. These approaches involve open communication, listening to different opinions, and working collaboratively to find common ground. The goal is to make decisions that reflect the collective input of the group, rather than a majority rule. Techniques may include discussions, negotiations, and compromise to address concerns and ensure all voices are heard. This process fosters cooperation, trust, and shared commitment to the final decision, making it more likely to be supported and successfully implemented.
