Consensus-Oriented Decision-Making

The CODM Model for Facilitating Groups to Widespread Agreement

by Tim Hartnett

A poor decision making process can leave group members frustrated, disillusioned and discouraged. Consensus-Oriented Decision-Making (CODM) offers groups and group facilitators a clear and efficient pathway to generating widespread agreement while fostering full participation and true collaboration.

Consensus-Oriented Decision-Making combines:

Deep insight into complex group dynamics
Effective conflict resolution techniques
Powerful communication skills
Shared ownership of decisions

Business, government, nonprofit, social and community organizations, and even families can all benefit from this simple step-by-step model. Whether you are a designated facilitator or an active participant, understanding this powerful framework will help you contribute to the success of your group.
