Some Thoughts...
Here's a couple of things I wanted to write down.
1. This is interesting: a blogger who intends on liveblogging a conference, asks his readers which session he should go to. I don't have time to pre-digest what you could do with this concept, but it's interesting.
2. Really cool 2.0 app, GroupLoop, that is highly relevant to associations. I see that the peeps over at Acronym have noticed this already.
3. Am listening to "Getting to Yes," the treatise on negotiations. While a lot of it is good information and bears paying attention to, I wish it drilled down in its examples more. It either uses simplistic, made-up scenarios, or it uses huge macro-level geopolitical examples. The subtitle of the book is something like "how to get what you want without giving in." Yet, as I go through the content, it seems like they are indeed advocating giving in a lot more than ideal.

GTY is a classic in the conflict resolution field, but you're right: it's not the be-all end-all. The best concept: what we argue about (positions), does not always reflect what we really want (interests). If you can get the conversation to the interests part, you really can develop solutions that make everyone happy (the proverbial win-win). It doesn't always work that way, of course, but you'd be surprised how often we ignore where we're aligned just to fight about where we disagree.
