Consensus discussions are part of what step in meeting facilitation?

• A. Step 6
• B. Step 8
• C. Step 3
• D. Step 5

Answer: (A)

Consensus discussions focus on building agreement among participants on the proposed path forward. In the meeting facilitation sequence, this happens after issues are clarified and options are explored, and before a formal decision is made. That step is dedicated to reaching and confirming buy-in, resolving concerns, and ensuring everyone is aligned. Once consensus is established, the group moves on to finalizing the decision and assigning action items. The other steps are about defining the problem, generating options, or closing, not the active process of building agreement.
