Systemic Consensing – 2-Part Intro Webinar

Groups and teams often need to make decisions together — and that can be surprisingly difficult.

Some people speak a lot.
Others stay quiet.
Some say yes, even though they still have concerns.
And after the decision, the real discussion continues in the hallway, in private messages, or in the next meeting.

Systemic Consensing offers a different approach.

Instead of asking:

“Who is in favor?”

we ask:

“How much resistance do you have?”
“What are your objections?”
“What would make this option easier to support?”

This changes the quality of group decisions. Concerns become visible earlier. Tensions can be addressed before they turn into hidden resistance. And the group can find the option with the lowest overall resistance — often the option with the best chance of actually being carried by everyone.

This 2-part webinar series gives you a clear and practical first experience with Systemic Consensing.


Who this is for

This webinar is for you if you work with groups, teams, organizations or communities and want to support better collective decisions.

It may be especially useful for:

  • facilitators
  • trainers
  • coaches
  • community organizers
  • NVC practitioners
  • team leads
  • people working in democratic or participatory organizations
  • anyone who has experienced how exhausting group decisions can become

You do not need prior experience with Systemic Consensing.


Session 1: Getting to know the method

May 19, 2026
18:30–20:00 CEST / 12:30–14:00 Eastern / 9:30–11:00 Pacific

In the first session, you will get a practical overview of the method.

We will look at:

  • what Systemic Consensing is
  • why resistance is useful information
  • how it differs from majority voting or consensus
  • how to formulate options
  • how to measure resistance
  • how the method works in a realistic group situation

You will also try out the method with a practical example, so you can experience the logic from the inside rather than only hearing about it.

There will be time for questions and reflection.

Session 2: Walking through the decision process

May 25, 2026
18:30–20:00 CEST / 12:30–14:00 Eastern / 9:30–11:00 Pacific

In the second session, we will go deeper into the individual steps of a Systemic Consensing decision process.

We will explore:

  • how to clarify the decision question
  • how to collect possible options
  • how to include objections without getting stuck
  • how to create a “passive option”
  • how to measure resistance in a simple and transparent way
  • how to interpret the result
  • what to do when resistance is still high
  • what happens if one person strongly objects
  • what happens if the group does not trust the result
  • what happens if there is no perfect option

We will also look at “what if” scenarios, because real group processes are rarely as clean as the method looks on paper.

The goal is that you leave with a practical understanding of how to guide a simple Systemic Consensing process yourself.

What you will take away

After the two sessions, you will have:

  • a clear understanding of the basic idea of Systemic Consensing
  • first practical experience with the method
  • a step-by-step overview of a simple decision process
  • language for explaining resistance as useful information
  • ideas for using the method in meetings, teams or community settings
  • a better sense of when Systemic Consensing is useful — and when it is not
