Focuses on a deliberate process that involves all interested members instead of speed. More important as systems become more complex. Requires representation from all parts of the system. According to [[Otto Scharmer]], transformational system change requires collaborative model. Two common types of group decision making: - [[consensus decision making]] - [[voting-based decision making]] Strengths: - synergy - increased information sharing - increased alternatives - greater acceptance of outcomes - group knowledge development Weaknesses: - time consuming - risk of domination by one or few members - [[groupthink]] - homogeneity ([note on p.6](zotero://open-pdf/library/items/FQ672TGH?page=6)) ## Sources [[Decision Making Methods -Doss & Horsman 2013]]
