[Dialogue] Draft of consensus paper

[Jeanette Stanfield]

Dear Colleagues, 
I have pulled together the debriefings on the consensus process you shared
on the list serves.  So far I have 25 pages of materials.

Present Table of contents:

1 Decision making and the Consensus Process

2 Signs of ³Real² Consensus

3 Complexities in Consensus Process
   a.  Consensus-buy in-Resistance
   b.  Tension of Tradition and Participation
   c.   Process Traps
   d.  Diverse individual learning and processing styles
 
4 Reflections and Questions about Consensus Process

5 Successful Examples of working with building consensus


This draft is too long to put on the list serve at this point.  If you wish
a copy, tell me and
I will send it directly to your email.  I am also hoping that some of you
may want to take this
paper and add points or examples.   I have not written an introduction.
Someone may want 
to work on that as well.  In my mind this is a corporate paper many of us
are writing to be used
as we wish. 

Cheers  from Down Under where we have a hot election campaign going on for
prime minister. 
One candidate, Kevin Rudd, counts Dietrich Bonhoeffer as an important
theologian in his life.

Take care,

Jeanette Stanfield
