Waxwing Synthesis and Resolution is guided by three principles:
Waxwing As in the story of Daedalus and Icarus, progress comes from understanding.
Synthesis Understanding depends on distilling credible facts from often conflicting information.
Resolution Facts are not enough. Effective solutions are built on values and an ability to find common ground.
We promote effective solutions through a common understanding of complex issues. Our services include:
policy analysis
evaluation of decision-making
technical facilitation
techniques to bridge the gap between fact and fiction
We examine a wide-range of issues using a variety of methods including intensive data analysis, commentary on current events, and narratives - conventional and unconventional - to get a message across. It is an approach that delivers provocative, often ground-breaking insights into social, economic, and political conditions. Highlights are:
Moving Beyond Now - a newsletter on planning
Issues and Policy Recommendations - Nose Creek Watershed
Initial List of Issues and Gaps: Water Policy Scoping and Issue Identification (lead author)
The Decisive Future: Building Societies That Succeed (in preparation)
Messiah: The Words - a commentary on the libretto from Handel's Messiah
