Fort Sheridan Update April 14, 2010 Concept of Alignment and Consensus • Alignment means “getting in line” behind an idea or concept • Consensus means getting to a maximum point of agreement so that action can follow • Usually involves compromise, give and take • Each party must be able to “live with it” and support the group’s decision • Even with consensus, each party may have a different level of support for the decision • Can this group come to consensus around a recommendation?
