Team Decision-Making

A Team Decision-Making workshop helps an established team agree how it makes decisions together, and then practise doing it. The team leaves with a shared way of deciding and the practice to use it, so decisions stop stalling or defaulting to the loudest voice.

How the Team Decision-Making Workshop Works

A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process

1Step 1: Check-in and Frame

Ground the group by naming common decision traps and setting the aim for the workshop. Participants reflect on their current decision-making feelings and identify the traps of seeking full agreement or deferring to the loudest voice.

2Step 2: How We Decide Now

Surface the current decision-making processes by discussing recent decisions made by the team. Analyze how those decisions were made, identify patterns, and reveal the team's default decision-making style without assigning blame.

3Step 3: The Decision Methods Menu

Introduce a variety of decision-making methods, discussing their appropriateness for different types of decisions. Participants categorize real decisions they face according to the most suitable methods and engage in group discussions to clarify any differences in opinion.
