Gain collaborative alignment for clear outcomes & actions
Agreed direction & buy-in
Build effective teamwork and group decision making to focus on the outputs that matter.
An organisation's success depends on on how well its teams perform day to day. If individuals are not working together effectively, there is no capacity for growth.
This can be frustrating company-wide, where unclear actions and divergent agendas result in wasted effort and a lack of alignment.
Ultimately you want your teams engaged in a productive end result, clear on outcomes, rather than time spent to re-focus and continually bring everyone together to reach that shared destination.
​
RapidConsensus helps create actionable agreement, promoting team alignment, motivation, and productivity.

'Working in the creative industries, chairing meetings and facilitating large group discussions is a big part of everyday work. Waterfield's RapidConsensus has changed my life! It is quite simply the most useful training I have completed in my 25-year career.
The RapidConsensus technique can be applied to everyday situations, personal or professional, small or large, hostile or positive and always results in great outcomes. I think so highly of RapidConsensus I insist that all my team complete the course so that we always have a trained facilitator on hand to lead meetings.'
