Product image for Strengthening Decision Making

Strengthening Decision Making

This course is designed to help coalitions and organizations navigate complex choices with greater clarity, equity, and shared ownership. As communities face increasingly interconnected challenges—from housing and health to justice and safety—this course offers tools for making decisions that are more inclusive, intentional, and aligned with collective values. You will explore how power shows up in decision-making, how to determine who decides, and when to involve others in the process. Through real-world examples and facilitation tools, the course introduces multiple decision-making methods—from independent decisions to consent and consensus—alongside a clear process for moving groups from open discussion through the “groan zone” and toward thoughtful action. The result is a stronger ability to make decisions with others, even when the work is messy or uncertain.

Sustaining Commitment with Community Partners

This strategy-focused course is for anyone working collaboratively with community members, coalitions, nonprofits, public agencies, or cross-sector partners. Designed for both new and long-standing collaboratives, the course addresses a common challenge: how to keep people engaged, participating, and moving forward together over time—especially when the work is complex and voluntary. You’ll explore five core strategies for maintaining momentum, including setting clear time boundaries, strengthening relationships across the group, balancing dialogue with action, redefining what “action” looks like, and shifting the stories we tell about commitment. Grounded in the Civic Canopy’s Community Learning Model, the course blends research, real-world examples, and facilitation tools to help groups create the conditions for trust, shared ownership, and sustained collaboration—even when energy dips or conflict arises.
