"This breakthrough book looks at how cutting-edge computer technologies are transforming our concept of what "meeting" is -- and helps companies avoid the millions of dollars that can be wasted when new "collaborative technology" is introduced."

​

Note: Some of the material in this book is already out-of-date, particularly the section on design of workspace. But basic concepts remain sound.

Shared Vision Planning (SVP) is a collaborative approach to formulating planning solutions that combines three disparate practices:  1) traditional planning processes, 2) structured public participation and 3) collaborative computer modeling. Although each of these elements has been successfully applied, what makes Shared Vision Planning unique is the integration of traditional planning processes with structured public participation and collaborative computer modeling. Shared Vision Planning facilitates a common understanding of a natural resource system and provides a consensus-based forum for stakeholders to identify tradeoffs and new management options. Shared Vision Planning creates user-friendly and understandable computer models that are relevant to stakeholder interests and adaptable to changing conditions.

This is a compendium of articles by leading figures in the field providing an overview of public involvement and dispute resolution theory and practice.
