Legislators & Deliberation

The Policy Consensus Initiative, an eight-year-old organization led by current and former legislators and government officials and headquartered in Oregon, has published Legislators at a Crossroads: Making Choices to Work Differently.  A snippet:

Legislators are beginning to recognize the role of convening as a way they can take action, or facilitate action, without waiting for the legislature to act.

It's short, just twelve pages, and a good introduction to flexible problem solving.
