Group decision making is an essential of the alignment process in trust groups, and is defined as one of the essential aspects of a platform. The platform specification requires that members of the group have available a simple interface allowing questions or choices to be collaborated upon by the members.
Group decision-making involves the members determining a course of action together from out of the available options. These options can be thought of as directions and each has an associated cost in terms of time and resources which, if known, allows the group to make an informed decision.
For most decisions, simple tools like Idea Storm are a very useful and productive component for groups and projects to have available, but for larger-scale decisions that affect many stakeholders or even people's rights a more complete system of governance is required.
