Abstract:
|
Many challenges to the collaborative and value-creating problem solving process come from the fact that one is doing this activity with other humans: creating synergistic relationships; sorting out what is to be done--rather than succumbing to the cry, "We have talked long enough! Let's get to work!"; recovering from the breakdowns that inevitably occur in the process; and having effective meetings. I will explore strategies for sorting out these challenges and dealing with them effectively.
