consensus-building techniques

Consensus-building techniques are methods used to help groups reach agreement on decisions. They involve open discussion, active listening, and understanding different viewpoints. Facilitators often encourage collaboration, propose compromises, and ensure everyone’s voice is heard. The goal is to find common ground that all members can accept, rather than forcing a decision that only some agree with. These techniques foster cooperation, trust, and collective ownership of solutions, making agreements more durable and satisfying for everyone involved.
