Consensus can be considered both journey and destination – a process to arrive at a decision and a decision itself. But when, and why, should organizations consider consensus in safety? In this session, we will dive deeper into when consensus is appropriate, the benefits and drawbacks, learn how to apply consensus techniques to optimize collaborative team-based decision-making in a safety context while building trust and strengthening working relationships, and introduce the groundbreaking High Five Consensus Model. This session is appropriate for JHSCs, workplace and policy committees, and for safety leaders in organizations large and small.
