SEcond Weekend, Day 1

The IBB "Brave New World" simulation activity was fascinating. We all had different opinions about the individuals based on our own background prejudices that affected the overall consensus. I was surprised how long we were left to our own to debate and eliminate choices as the process went along. It almost appeared to be too unstructured to really be productive. In the end, we were able to make a list but included several that were undesirable to many. While everyone says that they "could live with the decision", it didn't leave people feeling great about the final decision but instead being okay with most of it. The process lends itself to consensus building in a number of situations outside of collective bargaining.
