Trust While the parties to the Doha Agreement were personally repulsive to one another, they had strongly shared interests. They met at Reykjavik and — I’m not sure it’s remembered this way — made no agreement. Oftentimes, side agreements can be hashed out that ease progress on greater questions.

Not having agreement on “what is our product”… By Ellen Gottesdiener – I usually find a diversity of opinion when I ask anyone within an organization what their products are. This is true for product companies whose primary source of revenue is their product and for companies who use products internally to run their business.

A great way to achieve this is using collaborative workshops and choosing a decision rule such as unanimous agreement or consent. To avoid this issue, generate the necessary buy-in by involving the individuals in the strategizing work. This does not only increase the chances that people will support the strategy.

What’s needed to develop an inclusive solution and reach a sustainable agreement is a collaborative mindset. For example, unanimous agreement generates strong support for important product decisions. Resist the temptation to shortcut the process and to prematurely reach agreement at this step. Step 2: Build Shared Understanding.

I find that engagement tends to decline when the group grows significantly larger and reaching agreement becomes harder. Help the attendees reach agreement by facilitating the decision-making process. Consequently, you often have to run longer meetings. This can make it harder for people to free up the necessary time and attend them.
