What is the Decision Making “process”?
Decision making and responsibilities are shared by all members. Decisions are made using consensus. This puts everyone on an equal footing, avoids power struggles or political efforts to gain a majority, encourages everyone to participate by communicating openly and provides an opportunity for people to see a variety of points of view. It is a powerful dynamic for building and sustaining community. This model has been evolving for more than thirty years and has been used in the creation of hundreds of successful communities. There are systems in place which keep the process moving forward at a pace necessary to complete a real estate development.
The Decision Making Process is a model for decision making designed to help people make choices when facing a health care dilemma. Many issues need to be taken into consideration when coping with end of life issues. The method we use is a process. That is it is not a “quick fix.” It is discernment in action. Our “Decision Making Model” consists of a series of specific questions. The process is facilitated by a trained mediator. It is designed to gather information about the medical, social, psychological and religious issues influencing the difficult decisions an individual or family may face. To learn this process, and about the other decision making processes available, contact us at CenterforEthics@aol.com. We offer yearly seminars teaching this process.
