Jim Rough writes: “After Columbia, I worked for Xerox, Boeing, and Simpson Timber. From that work and studies in Jungian Psychology I became especially interested in how people make wise collective decisions. From this interest, I originated a unique approach to facilitating and have been teaching seminars on ␄Dynamic Facilitation” for over twenty years. (www.DynamicFacilitation.com). Dynamic Facilitation opens new doors of possibility for large systems of people from organizations, cities, to society as a whole. I’ve been deeply involved in experiments with these new approaches in public settings. I wrote a book, for instance, on how to evoke a national, thoughtful, inclusive, trans-partisan approach: We the People. My book, Society's Breakthrough! Releasing Essential Wisdom and Virtue in All the People (www.SocietysBreakthrough.com) has led to the founding of the nonprofit Center for Wise Democracy (www.WiseDemocracy.org), which supports experiments with these social innovations. It's been an exciting path. I hope those who read this will check out these exciting claims ... and become involved.”
