Course Description

Achieving Consensus looks at consensus as a process—a process that brings different people, different ideas and different approaches together; values that diversity, and then provides a framework to create a solution that is greater than any one person, idea or approach. It is the opportunity to set aside the “I” for the success of the “we.” It is the opportunity to get the power of the group aligned to get things done.
