An amazing process to reach concensus and bypass imediments
The unanimity planning process is a unique way of making people act on a RATIONAL basis to solve societal problems. Normal human emotional stances(wanting to have my own way) are encouraged to bring out the underlying fears and concerns. Every person in the group is tactfully forced to join the discussions.The book describes successful applications in diverse situations.I have successfully used this process three times. When faced with intractable positions of the regulatory agency and my staff, the unanimity process resulted in amzing concurrence on mission statements, goals and objectives. The frame work plan was very effectively implemented.
Any one faced with developing an IMPLEMENTABLE action plan (for improving education, economic development, water, waste water or solid waste management, telecommunications, siting facilities etc) should read this book if they want to avoid the usual and ever present pitfalls. It is also well written and easy to read.
