Start with why

Why do we want to build consensus? Helps us make decisions Your teammates will have a wide range of understanding or perception about a problem Quality of solutions are better Consensus helps establish a common understanding and a framework for developing a solution that works for everyone Consensus building guarantees that all parties' interests will be protected. We want our teammates to buy in Everyone gets a say so everyone feels part of the team This allows stakeholders to make trade-offs between different issues, and allows the development of solutions that meet more peoples' needs more completely than decisions that are made without such widespread participation.
