Ever felt sidelined by a snap decision? This session explores how to make decision-making inclusive and transparent. We introduce the Lewis Deep Democracy approach to help you build consensus and ensure all disciplinary perspectives are considered, regardless of who has the final say. Learning outcomes:

  • Categorise decisions into individual, procedural, or shared types to determine the appropriate level of team involvement.
  • Apply the Lewis Deep Democracy steps to foster consensus and ensure minority views are heard
