Have you ever been in a situation where you need to take a decision in a group and everyone has their opinions, but you cannot agree on anything? Or maybe you do agree on an option and then there is no follow up, or somebody keeps raising the topic again and again, in the decision is constantly being challenged. Sounds familiar? Then this course is for you. My name is vinita, Nicola and together we are going to learn about the process, tools and techniques that are helpful when solving problems and taking decisions in the group. My experience as a team member, team manager, agile coach and group facilitator shows that many teams efficiency suffer when it comes to decisions that need to be taken collaboratively in such cases, Teams struggle in endless discussions and unfortunately often keep conflicts which destroy trust and add chaos and inefficiency.

I have struggled with this a lot myself. Over and over. I have found myself in frustrating situations with my team trapped at a point where we could not move forward and find the meaningful solution acceptable for everyone. It took me a while to get some answers to these challenges. When I learned more about coaching, and 30, observing the process from the more neutral position, I became aware that decision making is more of a process than an act, a journey that a team needs to perceive as such and take together following certain criteria to find the best route. It also helps the world to use certain tools and procedures that guide the journey and make it more pleasurable and meaningful for everyone.

Solving problems in a group is a tremendous opportunity to find unconventional solutions in reach a higher level of collaboration. It is possible when the team has the awareness and process in place to go through the decision making exercise together. In this course, we'll talk about practices and tools that you can use to understand and improve your decision making processes, build trust and grow from a group of individuals into a high performing team, making great use of your collective intelligence. The course is suitable for Team facilitators, team managers, Scrum masters, agile coaches, and anyone working in the Team. Some of the key objectives of the course are to bring awareness about the situations when we might need collective decision making, to understand the major steps in the decision making process to introduce you to some tools and practices, along with some facilitation tips, so that you can start applying them immediately to address some of the common challenges and discuss ideas on how we could overcome them.

In the course, we're using an example inspired by real life situations to demonstrate the use of tools that we are discussing. All Similarities to real people and events are purely accidental. Now let's get started. Enjoy the journey.
