Online Consensus Decision making
Consensus decision making is designed to support collective determination of outcomes, working towards the maximum degree of consensus on a favoured proposal in order to achieve the greatest degree of support. Online consensus decision making utilises online systems to facilitate the refinement of, and voting on, options.
Community Visioning
Community visioning encompasses a range of approaches that enable members of a community to generate ideas for improving or enhancing the place where they live, and to develop a shared vision and action plan for change as a result.
Citizen Juries
Citizen juries are participatory processes used to consider issues of local or national concern, with the jury hearing from expert ‘witnesses’ before agreeing a solution or recommendation to be passed on to the relevant decision makers. The process is especially useful where there is a desire for a consensus or a clear way forward on a particular issue, but where various evidence or information needs to be evaluated in detail first.
