Integrative Decision Making

Integrative Decision Making is a structured process for making decisions as a group.

  1. Present Proposal - proposer describes the problem and the solution they propose.

  2. Questions Round - space for anyone to ask any questions about the proposal.

  3. Reaction Round - facilitator asks each person to react (if they want) to the proposal.

  4. Amend & Clarify - proposer can optionally clarify or amend the proposal based on reactions.

  5. Objection Round - facilitator asks each person in turn "Do you see any reasons why adopting this proposal would cause harm or move us backwards?”. Objections are stated, tested, and captured without discussion; the proposal is adopted if none surface.

  6. Integration - amend the proposal until the objection has been integrated. i.e. the proposal does not cause the objection. Once all integrated -> have another objection round.
