The next time you have a decision meeting plant a dissenter. Someone who disagrees with the decision being made at the meeting. The role for this person is to challenge the groups assumptions. Dissent won’t happen naturally, typically people are afraid to disagree with the group and/or the boss.

The reason you want this is because in the decision making process you do not want to drive consensus you want to embrace dissent.

What is Dissent? - Dissent simply means stating what you believe to be true, even (especially) if it is different from the group.
