The de Borda Institute aims to promote the use of inclusive voting procedures on all contentious questions of social choice.

This applies specifically to decision-making, be it for the electorate in regional/national polls, for their elected representatives in councils and parliaments, for members of a local community group, for members of a company board, for members of a co-operative, and so on.

Please see here for some background on the director.  And this is a Youtube presentation by Phil Kearney on decision-making.

Consensus voting can be used whenever a group of people wish to come to a decision, as in a parliament or in any other forum, as in a social survey, as in a regional or national multi-option Borda preferendum, or as in a discussion-plus-vote on the web.
