Collaborative Decision Making
Whether you are deciding on the location of your next offsite or on the team priorities for the next quarter, voting is often the fastest way to reach a group decision. Get your team members to vote on the topics that need a democratic majority. To avoid a conformity trap, take the pressure off and let everyone express their opinion anonymously.
How can you do this?
- Create a multiple-choice poll
- During the meeting, activate the poll and get the team to send in their votes
- Display the results and comment on the decision
Tips:
- You can send the link to the poll in advance and collect the answers before the meeting.
- You can allow people to select more than one option in the poll.
