The Consensus Building Approach

The Consensus Building Approach is a method for resolving disagreements or making decisions where all parties involved work together to find common ground. Instead of one side winning or losing, everyone collaborates, shares their perspectives, and seeks solutions that are acceptable to all. This process encourages open communication, understanding different viewpoints, and creating agreements that satisfy everyone’s interests. It’s often used in group negotiations, community projects, or organizational settings to build mutual trust and ensure decisions are balanced, fair, and sustainable over time.
