Welcome to Southwest Decision Resources!

We work to design and facilitate collaborative approaches to community and environmental problem solving, as well as assist in efforts at resolving more acute conflicts.  Our approach seeks to foster more effective management of community, environmental, and public policy decision processes through the following basic strategies:

1) Ensuring broad-based representation of all affected parties, through initial assessment, stakeholder analysis, process design, capacity building, and facilitation

2) Developing working partnerships, active networks, and inclusive organizational structures for diverse stakeholder groups,

3) Creating a variety of learning opportunities through field studies, program cross visits, applied research and training workshops,

4) Integrating best available science and joint fact-finding approaches into field-based initiatives.

5) Supporting effective monitoring, evaluation, and documentation of program efforts.
