Consensus Building
Often, disagreements between companies and their key stakeholders occur because of misunderstanding, miscommunication or misplaced emotion. For more than 20 years, partners in Holt & Germann have been in the business of helping to align disparate viewpoints and agendas -
fashioning solutions acceptable to all key parties.
We are experts in working with diverse audiences to get to the root of the problems which are preventing consensus; developing a common set of facts from which to begin real communication; and working, through dialogue and compromise, to build a consensus.
Consensus decision-making, while rarely unanimous, can form the basis of a productive, ongoing relationship between a company and its key stakeholders. They provide stakeholders with a voice (though not a decision-making role) in key decisions and it helps companies avoid things like negative media coverage and potentially costly legal challenges.
