Agreed direction & buy-in
Build effective teamwork and group decision making to focus on the outputs that matter.
The sustainable success of an organisation relies on how well its teams perform day to day.
If individuals within an organisation are not working together effectively, operating with unclear actions, and pursuing multiple agendas, there is no capacity for growth.
This can be frustrating company-wide where hard work is not resulting in momentum and there is a lack of alignment. When teams are disengaged from a productive end result, there is a lot of wasted effort to re-focus and continually bring everyone together to reach that shared destination.
RapidConsensus helps create actionable agreement and alignment that underpins a motivated and productive team.

RapidConsensus was originally designed by Waterfield in 1997 to help teams work together to optimally reach consensus on decision making to move forward.
Thousands of organisations, government institutions, communities and individuals using RapidConsensus have experienced first hand how engaging groups through a collaborative framework results in a visible uplift in performance.
Sharing in the process allows clear communication, a common understanding, more creative solutions and better outcomes with your team and others.
Here are a handful of clients that successfully use RapidConsensus for shared results.

'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.'
