Deliberative Processes: Designing high-engaging processes for great decision making

Groups frequently come together to deliberate and make decisions about strategic directions and critical projects.  How they design these discussions and decision processes has a big influence on the quality of the outcomes.  This session walks participants through key evidence-based concepts, practices and approaches with the goal of helping people to craft their own inclusive, high-impact methods for deliberating and making decisions.  While generally aiming to be a precursor to strategic planning processes, the studio can be adapted to many different group discussion and decision scenarios.
