Over the past several months, our team has been documenting what we've learned from the collaborative decision making processes we've designed and led across Colorado and nationally.
The elements that drive results, the design decisions that get skipped, and the facilitation principles that hold complex groups together under real political pressure.
Today we're releasing that work as a white paper: The Power of Collaborative Decision Making: Breaking the Gridlock on Even the Most Complex and Contentious Issues.
Many of you have been in those rooms with us, on school safety, criminal justice, transportation, civil rights, housing, and more. This paper draws directly on that work and the lessons we've taken from it.
For those navigating complex issues right now, we hope it's a useful resource. For those considering whether a structured collaborative process might help move something that's been stuck, we'd welcome a conversation.
