Training for Pacific States Sea Grant Program (August 1990)

CONCUR Principal Scott McCreary served as an instructor for a Pacific Sea Grant College Programs agent/specialist training meeting in Hawaii, teaching conflict resolution techniques through lectures, discussion, and a number of mediation exercises. The emphasis of his presentation was on developing an appreciation for the techniques of principled negotiation. Debriefing sessions following each exercise offered a chance to analyze the dynamics of the role-playing exercises and share observations about the experience. Small group sessions followed at the end of the day to discuss opportunities for the use of mediation programs.
