1 Define the purpose and criteria

The first step is to clarify the purpose and criteria of your group work. What are you trying to accomplish? What are the standards and expectations for quality, timeliness, and collaboration? How will you communicate and coordinate your tasks and responsibilities? By defining the purpose and criteria, you can align your group vision and goals, and avoid confusion and conflict.

Agreed. In my past state policy life, the governor convened the primary actors and clarified the vision for new action by using the clarity of pain and past stalemates to define an unavoidable goal.

2 Use feedback and reflection

The second step is to use feedback and reflection to monitor and improve your group work. Feedback can come from different sources, such as your peers, your instructor, your clients, or yourself. You can use formal or informal methods, such as surveys, interviews, rubrics, or self-assessments. Feedback can help you identify the strengths and weaknesses of your group work, and suggest areas for improvement. Reflection can help you analyze your group experiences, learn from your mistakes, and celebrate your achievements.

100 percent consensus was chosen to regain trust and to give decision makers and “process killers” the confidence of being heard. Meetings were recorded and decisions and tasks were documented. Accountability was achieved through regular peer reporting.

3 Apply performance indicators

The third step is to apply performance indicators to measure and evaluate your group outcomes. Performance indicators are specific, measurable, and relevant indicators that show how well you have achieved your group goals. They can be quantitative or qualitative, such as grades, scores, ratings, testimonials, or portfolios. Performance indicators can help you demonstrate your group achievements, compare your results with other groups, and justify your decisions and actions.

Technology and science issues were analyzed by appointed experts and resolved prior to executive and legislative approval to reduce the risk of new conflict and new failure. One of our first goals usually involved defining the types, functions, spatial distribution, and the hierarchy of the resources. This grounded our analysis, understanding, and responses as solutions.

4 Consider group dynamics

The fourth step is to consider group dynamics in your measurement and evaluation. Group dynamics are the patterns of interactions and relationships among group members that affect their performance and outcomes. They can be positive or negative, such as cohesion, trust, conflict, diversity, or leadership. Group dynamics can influence your group satisfaction, motivation, and creativity. You can assess your group dynamics by observing, listening, and asking questions.

Common interest in common benefits incentivized dedication to the process. As noted earlier, all of our discussions required 100 percent consensus. This ensured everyone would be heard and incentivized participation. Consensus first sought small buildable wins to cumulatively earn confidence and to build a desire to seek higher levels of accomplishment and hope as each level of agreement was achieved.

5 Adapt to changes

The fifth step is to adapt to changes in your group work. Group work is not static, but dynamic and evolving. You may face changes in your group composition, context, resources, or expectations. You may encounter challenges, opportunities, or surprises. You may need to revise your plans, strategies, or roles. To adapt to changes, you need to be flexible, responsive, and resilient.

As new conflicts emerged, sometimes new actors would be added to the process. Federal mediators would be brought in when the most challenging issues were encountered. These conflicts grew more rare as participants became weary of the consequences of resistance to consensus and compromise that often could only be resolved by these more tedious consensus processes. New negotiators would be added to reenergize listening and negotiation steps for issues uniquely residing with individual process participants that might be too delicate to resolve in the larger group.

6 Learn and transfer

The sixth step is to learn and transfer from your group work. Group work is not only a means to an end, but also a valuable learning experience. You can learn new skills, knowledge, and perspectives from your group work. You can also transfer what you have learned to other situations, such as future group work, academic projects, or professional careers. To learn and transfer, you need to be reflective, curious, and proactive.

Plan documents recorded the results and actions of these consensus processes. Plans would be updated bi-annually. In time, we shared our lessons and results with other state governments and at EPA conferences or regional retreats. Being first to initiate these consensus plans often meant we were first to secure federal funds to designed to support or model this type of success.
