Decisions We Can Agree On

Turning Conflict into Consensus

The issues facing communities, governments, and organizations today are complicated. The stakes are high, the perspectives are diverse, and the consequences of poor decision-making can last for decades. Meaningful progress often requires people to work together constructively across different experiences, interests, and values in order to see through different lenses and, ultimately, thrive.

Consensus Solutions helps organizations navigate these challenges through structured facilitation, collaborative dialogue, strategic planning and professional coaching. We create environments where teams and stakeholder groups can exchange ideas openly, build understanding, and develop durable solutions to difficult problems.

Our work supports federal, state, and local governments, as well as corporations and nonprofit organizations. We help these organizations tackle complex policy questions, strategy, organizational challenges, and public engagement processes. By guiding productive dialogue and helping people to understand the information behind the decisions, we help organizations reach outcomes that are trusted, defensible, and lasting.

“An incredible ability to turn group confusion into ‘light bulb’ moments.”

“I was noticing… there were a few points where the group was entirely caught up in a specific discussion. Then you would make a statement to the effect of: ‘There are 3 fundamental issues on the table here…’ and you’d summarize what the group had been going round and round about for the last 15 minutes. You have a really great ability to get a group back on track. Usually when you do this, there are a series of ‘light bulb’ looks on people’s faces…”

“Creating a ‘big picture’ view that fosters long-term cooperation.”

“Everyone who participated in this process got a great deal from it. Not just from a much more accurate ‘big picture’ view, but also from developing positive relationships with people whom we may not have considered doing so in the past. The benefits of those new relationships will continue to be seen well after the group’s report fades into the past.”

“A Guide in Every Sense of the Word”

“I really enjoyed having you as our facilitator, guide, beacon, father-confessor, etc.”

“Delivering results on projects that were set up to fail.”

“I thank you for doing what everyone said could not be done. We were set up to fail and we did not. You were pretty incredible. I heard lots that it couldn’t have been done without your skill and fortitude.”
