Exercises for Convergent Decision-Making

Structured voting, matrices, or ranking tools help a group move from many options to one shared decision or priority. Reach for one when discussion has surfaced enough ideas and the group now needs to choose.

This category groups exercises by shared theme, based on what the exercise actually asks people to do.
