Identify stakeholder interests. • Interests answer the question, “Why?” 3. Check for shared interests. • Note shared interests
Element 3: Create Options • Create Options, Options, Options: • Options are possible solutions. • Options should be future oriented and answer the question “How?” • Use brain storming. • No criticism or evaluation. • No one “owns” an option. • Create at least 10 options
Element 4: Evaluate Options Against Interests • Evaluate Options • Clarify all items. • Eliminate duplicate options. • Cluster related ideas. • Compare options to interests. • Eliminate options if everyone agrees.
Element 5: Commit to Solutions & Element 6: Commit to a Plan of Action 1. Commit to solution/s: • Use consensus. • Choose based on your evaluation. 2. Commit to an action plan. • Determine roles and responsibilities and establish timelines (who, what, when, how). • Set follow-up if necessary. • Reduce to writing. • Communicate to constituents. • Be prepared to test your solutions(s) and revise.

Trust and the Double Standard • We are understanding and forgiving of our own conduct • because we know our intent • We are less forgiving of the others’ conduct • because we judge only by their conduct and its impact on us
