Practical Techniques For Enhancing Communication and Creativity in Complex Situations

Does your organization have trouble making decisions?  Do you come to the brink of deciding, and then back off?  Does it seem that some factions focus on one part of the situation, while others focus elsewhere, and no one really communicates?  Do some problems seem so complex that there seems to be no single “right” answer?  Does the problem you are trying to address seem to change and evolve more quickly than your ability to solve it?

 If so, this workshop is for you.This year’s Natural Resources Leadership Association is pleased to present Dr. Steve Daniels, a nationally known mediator, organizational development consultant, and educator for a one-day workshop on practical techniques that you can use to facilitate on-task dialogue and deliberation in complex situations.

The workshop will involve a range of simulations, activities, and techniques that can be applied and adapted to a wide range of problems.  These techniques can enhance effectiveness within organizations, but are doubly useful in collaborative and multi-organizational processes.

Dr. Steven Daniels is co-author of “Working Through Environmental Conflict: The Collaborative Learning Approach.”  He is the program leader for Community Development in University Extension, and Professor in the Department of Sociology, Social Work, and Anthropology and the Department of Environment and Society at Utah State University.

Much of Dr. Daniels professional interests focus on community linkages to natural resources and in collaborative processes in natural resource management. He has been involved in a number of community-level collaborations, primarily in the Pacific Northwest.
