The goal of the collaborative process is to arrive at an agreed-upon course of action. However, at times, consensus to a course of action may occur without complete agreement from all members of the team.

For this discussion, address the following:

· What strategies might you use when members of a team disagree with a course of action?

· What strategies might you take if a course of action you have presented is not supported by someone who has a higher position or more credentials than you do?

Response Guidelines

Respond to at least two peers as follows:

· Present an example of a time when you participated in a collaborative session where there was disagreement. How was this addressed, either by you or someone on the team?

· How might the experience have been different if one of the recommendations posted by your peer had been applied?
