Discourses
Discourses are planned and guided communication sessions which serve to improve the understanding of different points of view and the interests of those involved. Through discourses new insights and thus the readiness for new action come into being. They are the decisive vehicle for the success of change processes within companies.
consens conducts discourses in different settings and with different objectives. At the forefront is the aim of sharing the protagonists’ thoughts and finding points of approach to an understanding of the joint options for action between them.
In many cases consens uses the methods developed by Metaplan® for moderating events aimed at mutual understanding. They help to promote discussion of topics which are complex and a source of controversy openly and without diffidence. Through visualization of what is said, the thread of conversation always remains clear. The rules for interaction are few but effective and ensure that all those concerned can have a say without losing sight of the central theme. Minute planning of the discussion process in advance ensures that targets remain in focus and topics are processed one after another in a meaningful way.
