How can we effectively measure group consensus in decision-making?

Measuring group consensus can be done through various methods like surveys, voting, or consensus-building techniques. What context are you considering?

I'm looking at a team project where we need to agree on a direction.

In that case, you might use a simple voting system or a more structured approach like the Delphi method to gather opinions and reach a consensus.

What if the team members have conflicting opinions?

If there are conflicting opinions, facilitating open discussions and using techniques like brainstorming or the nominal group technique can help reconcile differences.

Are there any tools that can assist in this process?

Yes, tools like Google Forms for surveys, or platforms like Miro for collaborative brainstorming can be very effective in measuring and building consensus.
