Sometimes consensus is impossible. You have to move on without it. Either you get stasis, or gradual change, or revolution or fracture/fork and no matter what you get dissent, consequences and cost.
Consensus doesn't always exist. Its great to build it and its great to seek it.
I don't think consensus needs to be unanimously affirmative in order to make progress. Even dissent can be a form of consensus, in that everyone in this group acknowledges the proposed course of action, and have formed their positions relative to it.
