multi-perspective-decision-wheel

To synthesize multiple stakeholder perspectives into a group decision, structure inputs into a wheel format using sees, misses, asks, and contributes categories per perspective. This method surfaces tradeoffs and tensions before committing to an actionable next step.

Multi-perspective decision-making for education planning is structured by gathering stakeholder, disciplinary, values, and time-horizon inputs. You name tensions explicitly and generate proposal improvements like keep, change, test, or stop before finalizing a recommendation.

Facilitate group decisions without premature consensus by identifying and naming genuine tensions between perspectives. Structuring inputs into sees, misses, asks, and contributes categories makes tradeoffs explicit rather than forcing an immediate agreement.

You can use this decision synthesis method for community planning after completing initial inquiry steps like scoping, mapping, and dilemma navigation. It requires a minimum of four perspectives to produce a validated decision wheel output.

The multi-perspective decision wheel generates a validated output requiring four or more perspectives, named tensions, sees/misses/asks/contributes per perspective, proposal improvements, and a single next responsible step with evidence or permission limits.

You should avoid using a structured perspective synthesis wheel when the task requires factual recall rather than judgement. It is designed specifically for complex design challenges or group decisions that require synthesizing differing viewpoints.
