Abstract: Research in strategic consensus mostly focuses on the degree of consensus about organizational strategy within a team and does not include other important elements of strategic consensus such as more fine-grained analysis of what different group members agree and disagree on, between-group consensus, or significance testing of differences in consensus (e.g., to evaluate a strategic intervention). We propose a new analytical approach to study strategic consensus to address these issues and to visualize strategic consensus in an intuitive and easy-to-grasp fashion. Using data from a field study, we also provide an illustration of the proposed methodology which includes a test of the effectiveness of a consensus-creating intervention. We conclude with guidelines for research and practice on utilizing the proposed methodology.
