A Word on Reaching Common Ground Consensus does not mean 100% agreement on all decisions. Rather, it means that no decision is final until all members of a group agree that they can live with it and support it. Achieving consensus take time, trust, and a willingness to compromise. Each member must get an opportunity to influence the thinking of the group.
