Cascading Agreement Strategy. The members of the Planning Task Force arranged themselves into groups of three. Each group was tasked with coming up with questions regarding Albertus Magnus College. Using the Cascading Agreement Strategy, the group followed four steps — Create, Condense, Collaborate, and Communicate — to generate a list of questions. The data were assembled and the entire group then selected the top 6 questions that they would like to see answered, e.g., “Why Albertus?” These questions, along with a few others, will be used by the PTF in the series of meetings they will have with members of the College community.
