Group identifies the problem and potential solutions and then agrees to one decision. Usually a final choice is suggested and then altered to reflect inputs from members to obtain group support. Multiple models of consensus decision making: - [[consensus oriented decision making]] - [[Quaker based consensus decision making]] - [[Delphi model]] Strengths: - Encourages ownership of decision - Prevents one or few people from taking charge Weaknesses: - time consuming - requires high level of trust within group - not useful when decision is polarizing - all members must be willing to participate ([note on p.7](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/FQ672TGH?page=7)) ## Sources [[Decision Making Methods -Doss & Horsman 2013]]
