WHY CHARRETTES WORK WONDERS Charrettes speed up solutions to sticky problems by focusing the power of plural perspectives and diverse expertise in forming plans, designs, strategies and decisions that integrate the knowledge of all involved. HOW THEY WORK Charrettes work by replacing debate over old conclusions with co-generation of fresh ideas and new options discovered through constructive dialogue. By pooling perspectives and integrating knowledge to form fresh solutions, we build consensus, organically. Holistic plans and strategies grow from willingness to go beyond special interests to find highest common purposes. Focusing on best intentions empowers partners to invent win-win solutions, ingeniously. |

“Allen’s level of creative energy is astonishing. He has helped plan educational interventions that have required conducting needs assessments, creating learning goals and objectives, gathering appropriate information, designing and implementing effective educational methods, and evaluating them. Skilled in speaking, writing, and graphic design, he is a rare individual – a creative genius, a sensitive artist, and a wonderful human being.” Marcia Brown, Health Educator, U.C. Berkeley
