Consensus Decision Making is a way of reaching agreement between all members of a group.

Instead of simply voting for an item and having majority rule, a group commits to finding solutions that everyone actively supports, or at least can live with.

Facilitators are responsible for moving through the agenda on time, ensuring the group adheres to the mutually agreed-upon consensus process, and, if necessary, suggesting alternate or additional discussion or decision-making techniques, such as go-arounds, break-out groups or role-playing.
