An RSI Managing Risk method
Consensus-building methods
Consensus-building methods is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better manage risk.
Broadly
Consensus-building methods enable groups with diverse perspectives to arrive at collective decisions on risk issues. These may include facilitated workshops, Delphi processes, or scenario-based negotiations. The aim is not always unanimity but shared understanding and agreement on a course of action. Challenges include managing conflict, unequal participation, and decision fatigue.
More specifically
RSI applies consensus-building techniques in regulatory development, stakeholder consultation, and community resilience planning. Its team designs processes that promote inclusive dialogue, document trade-offs, and produce legitimate, actionable outcomes. RSI ensures that consensus is not forced but earned through transparency and respect for differing values.
