Rational consensus
Rational consensus has been proposed as best practice for group decision making, across several academic disciplines, since the early 1980s. Mathematical modeling of consensus processes was attempted as early as the 1950s.
A classic paper titled "Overcoming Resistance to Change" was published by Lester Coch and John French in 1948.[1]
