Guided in part through consensus, he redesigned (7)
I believe the answer is:
ushered
'guided' is the definition.
(ushering is a kind of guiding)
'part through consensus he redesigned' is the wordplay.
'part' indicates a hidden word.
'USHERED' is hidden within 'through consensus he redesigned'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ushered that I've seen before include "Conducted" , "Led" , "Escorted" , "Showed to a seat" , "Showed people to seats as in cinemas or theatre" .)
