The CDM Toolkit is one of a number of initiatives to honour the memory of Dr. Martha Kostuch. Dr. Kostuch was a nationally recognized environmental activist who made significant contributions to our understanding and use of the consensus decision-making process and how it can lead to innovative and sustainable solutions.
The CDM Toolkit is an outcome of a made-in-Alberta collaboration of consensus decision-making practitioners. A great reference guide for seasoned practitioners, it will also assist those new to the consensus decision-making process. The toolkit is a combination of checklists and templates to help determine whether or not the consensus decision-making process is the appropriate decision-making model for a particular problem. The same checklists and templates will also guide those already participating in a consensus decision-making process.
The CDM toolkit is available here.
As part of the Council’s Communication Strategy 2011-2013, the Council will be developing a series of fact sheets in order to provide our sectors with the necessary tools to facilitate information flows to reach a wider audience within each sector . The intent is to showcase our key learnings from our recently completed projects in the form of fact sheets to be available to our sectors as informational material.
