Traditional Approaches to Group Decision
Making are Fundamentally Flawed

Overlooked Complexity

Decisions made using the ‘For’ and ‘Against’ approach oversimplify complex problems, creating one-sided results that divide people into winners and losers.

Power and Influence

Traditional decision-making is overly centralized, leading to imbalances of influence that favour people with more political and social power.

Hidden Knowledge

Superficial engagement fails to capture the insight and intelligence of stakeholders, who often have critical information necessary to solve the problem.
