When we hear all voices, we make better decisions.
1. Talk things through
Start a discussion on any topic, and bring in the right people. Share diverse perspectives and develop ideas together.
2. Build agreement
Anyone can propose a course of action. People can agree, abstain, disagree, or block – so you can see how everyone feels, and why.
3. Decide together
Develop the proposal together so that it works for everyone. Every decision has a clear deadline, so you always get a clear outcome.
