Strategic consensus building
Acquiring the ability to create answers involving stakeholders
Consensus building generally refers to reaching consensus among various stakeholders through discussions.
Have you ever had an experience where you thought you had reached an agreement internally, but it didn't go well?
It is very effective to grasp the basics of consensus building, from large stages such as international conferences to daily internal meetings.
"Consensus building" is not necessary for things that have only one answer or problems that can be investigated. Consensus building is necessary when there are multiple possible options when stakeholders have different opinions when it is necessary to solve / realize some problem, when they are unaware of the problem.
The experience of consensus building, which was carried out in groups with clear hierarchical relationships and similar values, can no longer be used in this age of diversification and globalization. Furthermore, as environmental and social issues have become more complex, the range of stakeholders has expanded, and the difficulty of building consensus has risen dramatically. Under such circumstances, failures in reaching an agreement can make the problem worse, compel the competition to accept advantageous conditions, and stakeholders' dissatisfaction with the agreement once reached. Some of you may have experienced such things.
However, despite this situation, there are not many opportunities to "learn consensus building". How should we build strategic consensus so that we can decipher the structure and build a cooperative system in which stakeholders will work to solve problems themselves after the fact?
This center provides a very unique place in Japan for classroom lectures and practice of the following "consensus building". The ability to "create answers as a group" instead of being alone should be a powerful weapon that will help you realize your desired future.
Structural Understanding of Problems and Strategies
Learn what you should do before coming to consensus building. Understand the problem structure and formulate a strategy.
Critical reading and discussion techniques
Objectively consider the opponent's claims and supporting evidence. Know your negotiation patterns and learn how to keep your discussions from falling apart.
work out the answer as a group
Learn group consensus building in a workshop where you create answers through role-playing with players with conflicting interests.
