Creating a "Consent-Driven" organization:

In Asking "Is This Safe to Try?" for Decision Making

Asking "Is This Safe to Try?" for … we talk about starting from "yes" and what happens if parties can't agree.

The trick to moving fast and not getting mired in internal debates is to focus on creating a "consent-driven" , not "consensus-driven" organization:

• Consensus: "Agreement or Accord from everyone" → asking "does everyone agree?"
• Consent: "No significant objection from anyone" → asking "does anyone object?"

❗As you can see, these are effectively opposites.

💡Instead of asking in a meetingDoes everyone agree? , ask Does anyone object? and work that culture into your organization.
