One of the things I noticed back when I was traveling around the country doing consensus problem solving workshops and trainings was that often the groups with the most process problems also had the most social problems. In a few places it was helpful rather than focus on process techniques to focus on social events and connection work. I was often astonished at how little people knew about each other in some of the communities I worked with. It seemed to me that in some cases, energy spent on social gatherings and informal time together talking about our histories, desires and hopes might be very constructive. Once while visiting a community it was obvious that there were 5 people who strongly disliked each other. I separated them out and got them processing their issues with each other. About six months later I was told that their process work had improved substantially and things were really going much better all around. Within your own community if there is this dynamic between particular people and it impacts your decision making, it might be constructive to intervene.
