To concur is to agree. In group think, it's when the group agrees on one choice. It may not be that they all believe in the choice but instead that they all agree to agree with one choice.

I think there is a nuance of difference between CONCURRENCE and CONSENSUS in the context of "group think". CONCURRENCE, I believe, means that all the members of the group genuinely do agree on some issue. CONSENSUS, on the other hand, is often the result of extended negotiations among the group that results in a decision everyone can live with, but it does NOT necessarily mean the individual members agree with the decision. For the sake of unity within the group, the members give and take from their preferred positions in the matter and accept the group decision to reach CONSENSUS.

Concurrence is agreement among the group with the idea or thought of one of them. Consensus may also be appropriate. This occurs when a bunch of people agree.

In that context it would mean "mutual agreement".
