How Does Starting 5 Solve Problems

The Starting 5 has had to make several decisions for the COM 320 class. Because the group is fairly small, we have been able to take a group consensus in our decision making. The problem is presented to the group and each person argues their opinion until the group decides what to do. The problem with this method, is many times it takes longer to make a decision. However, we choose to use this method because we feel it gets the best results.

There are times when one person's experiences or knowledge makes their opinion more influential to the group decision. It is not that person makes the decision, but that the group takes more consideration in the expert's argument. Up to this point in time, this method has worked to solve the group's problems. While this method may not work for all groups, it works for ours.
