Building Consensus
Consensus indicates to us that the group is willing to find connections and move forward together. It helps to reach a common understanding of ideas and enables us to work in a collaborative, creative and respectful environment.

What is Consensus?
Consensus is a process of thinking through particular ideas or issues and reaching a point when a group is able to make appropriate decisions and plans. It provides an opportunity to develop commitment by all parties involved through quality dialogue and forming a group connection.

Consensus is not…
• A total agreement on all ideas or issues
• A win for some and a loss for others
• Settling for the lowest common denominator or meaningless ideas
• A method of persuasion and selling ideas

To Build Consensus…
• Everyone involved must be willing to form a consensus
• There should be a purpose for the formation of a consensus or a question to consider
• Everyone must be included in the dialogue (i.e., participants, facilitators, group organizers, resource persons)
• All ideas must be respected and heard• Requires suspending judgement and
assumptions in order to create room for new ideas to emerge
