First, I would like to ask do we have consensus as a team, yes, no or close?
Then I will ask each one to write down the real problem and read what he/she wrote.
Finally, I will ask again if there is an agreement, yes, no or close. I will further ask what is causing us not to come to a consensus? What can we do to help the team come to a consensus?

As an Action Learning coach I perceive in this situation a propitious moment to bring more awareness to the group, then I will bring this situation to the group in the form of an observation, something like: “I realized that you had already reached consensus on the real problem but now they are questioning, how do you want to deal with it?

As an Action Learning coach I will ask the members if there is a concensus about the problem. Then I will ask all members to write down the problem, as they see it, on a piece of paper. When everyone is done writing I’ll ask the members to read their problems out loud. I’ll ask again if there is a concensus. When the answer remains no, I’ll allow the team ten more minutes to ask questions and then we’ll move on to the next item in the script.

This is a time to test and solve problems and raise team awareness. As an action learning coach, he can seize the opportunity to intervene, share the observed information with the team, and ask questions to help the team think. After the coach intervened, he asked, “I see that the team seems to have reached a consensus, but still questioned the nature of the actual problem. First of all, please write down what you think is the problem? “Then, ask each member to read your questions truthfully, and finally ask PP to read your questions to the team members.” “Now, do we have a consensus on the issue? Yes, no, or close?”

I would ask the group if there was consensus, yes/no. I would then ask them to write down their view of the issues on paper and ask each member of the team to share what they think the issue is. I would then again ask if there was consensus, yes/no/close. – ending with the problem presenter. Hopefully this will clarify. If not I would ask if there was enough of a consensus to proceed. If not, I would ask what they need to move to consensus. I would ask them what they need to clarify to get to consensus. If we still can’t get to consensus I would suggest a break and then come back to the session. If need be I would break it down to get to the elements that there are consensus on but would hope this wouldn’t be required.

If it seems there is consensus, I would first stage a check-in to make sure that there is one by having everyone write down their version of the problem. If the group establishes consensus but continues to question the nature of the problem, I would likely intervene and state that “while we have already established consensus, it seems that people are still wondering what the problem may actually be. In five more minutes, we will check in again about the problem that we will help the PP take action on. In the meantime, who has the next question to help us establish consensus?”

As a coach, I do not judge if the team has consensus or not. I will ask them to write down and share their views one by one. Then ask everyone if we are at consensus, no, or close. According to the results, I will let the team, expecially the PP to determine if we should have a second round of problem clarification or not.

As an action learning coach, I would like to ask team write down the problem,and have members read it out loudly. Then I would ask if there was consensus, yes, no or close. If the team already has consensus, I would ask what happened just now? What was the impact of our team? And then continue to next session.

I would ask the group if there is a consensus about the problem: yes or no? Then I’ll check the consensus, asking them to write the problem down and read it, one by one, to the group. Then l would ask: “Do we have consensus? Yes, no or close to continue and go to next phase of problem solving?” If one of the ansewers is a no, I would ask: “What would help us to obtain consensus? Who has the next question?” Then I would check consensus again, after 10 minutes (just like I did before, asking them to write it down) and if one of the answers is still a no, I would ask: “What part of the problem do we have consensus? Who can write on the whiteboard the part that we have consensus?” After the answer, I would start the final phase: problem solving.

I’d coach the team by asking “It seems like the team has achieved a consensus about the problem earlier but I observe that different team members kept questioning the real nature of the problem. What is happening? Does the team have a real consensus? What can you do as the team to get that?”

Action learning coach intervention question:
“I see that there has been a consensus on the issue, and what is interesting is that now people are questioning the nature of the issue. Can each describe the nature of the problem?”
“Do we now agree on the nature of the problem? Yes, no, or close?”
“Put it together again with the nature of the problem. What do you see?”

I would ask the team if there is consensus on the challenge presented. I would ask them to write down the problem in one sentence and individually ask everyone to read what they wrote. I would again ask the team based on all the answers they have heard if they have consensus as a group on the challenge Yes, No, or Close?” Based on their answers will give them defined time to ask questions to get on the same page and then move on to the next part of the session.

I would have the team clarify understanding of the problem by writing it down and verbalizing. Then, I would do the check from the script (do we have consensus yes/close/no), or I would ask “what the team need to do to ensure that there is a solid consensus and it could move to the next phase?”

I will ask team where we are now in term of agreement to the statement? Or ask team to write down the problem statement on the paper!

I would ask questions to all, “Now we have reached an agreement on the issue, how can we question the nature of the problem and what does it mean? “Let’s continue to ask and clarify questions. Everyone can write down the essence of their own problems on paper and read them to all one by one.

I will ask the team, ‘do we have a consensus on the problem analysis?, what is it?’, if I get the answer from team that they reached a consensus, I will ask ‘now we have reached a consensus, what should we do next?’

I would think that the ‘group think’ phenomenon has taken place. There maybe the issue of power distance among team members leading them to the group think phenomenon. It is important for the coach to amplify the need to eliminate power distance and move away from group think

I would take the following steps:
1. Ask team whether a common agreement has been reached?
2. After the answer from team member, I request each member to write down on a piece of paper what the real problem of PP is.
3. Ask each member to read out loud their statement.
4. Ask every body if there is consensus on the problem of PP
5. If all members say “yes”, I will ask who can write the problem of PP on the board?.
If no, I will give some more time to agree the problem and then I move to the next problem solving step.

I would ask Team to write down the problem on paper, beginning with: The real problem of PP is…. and each member will read out what they wrote. Following question: if there is a consensus about the problem: yes or no. If not, I would ask what Team need to do to consensus? And after next 5 – 10 minutes, i will intervene to scale the consensus. In case still have no consensus, following questions: Which is the part of the problem we have consensus?

As an Action Learing Coach I will ask this following questions:
“Have we reach agreement to the problem?” Then I ask to each team member to write down the problem on peper then ask them to read what he/she has written?
After that ask the team member “Do we have consensus about the problem?” If the answer still “No” then I will give ten minutes more to them to ask more questions and moving to the next step from the coach guidance.

A: as an action learning coach, I would intervene.Share my observations with the team and ask questions: “I see that the team seems to agree, but still questions the nature of the actual problem.”I will invite team members to write: what do they think is the nature of the pp‘s problem?”And asked each team member to share, and then asked,” now, do we agree on this?Yes, no, or very close?”If the answer is “no” or “very close”, then I will continue to ask the team members:How long (5-10 minutes) will it take to reach a consensus?
Who has the next question to help us reach a consensus?”
After 5-10 minutes he will ask each of you to write and read out what he thinks is the nature of the problem?
Ask team members, “are we on the same page on this now?”Yes, no, or very close?”
After getting the answer “yes”Go to the next step

As a coach, In situations like this I will intervene by having the team members write the problem sentences again on paper. Then read it out one by one with the score to understand the match or not of the team. After that, I will emphasize the remaining time for the team members to work together. Then ask the question The team thinks we still want to spend a few more minutes to find the real problem. Or we will continue with the guidelines to solve problems for PP anyway. Why?
Point of learning in this scenario is Aside from the fact that we point out learning issues. I also have a duty to point out the effects that will occur for learning in another form of team members who have different ideas.
