The method aims to surface all views in a group, including dissenting or "no" views, to make informed decisions and avoid resistance. It does this through 5 steps: 1) gaining all views 2) making it safe to say "no" 3) spreading the "no" view 4) summarizing views and asking for buy-in 5) resolving tensions through "The Debate". How decisions are made shapes what a group is consciously or unconsciously aware of. Failing to address "no" views allows tensions to build and fester over timeMUN TRAINING
