How can the Think Tank help my community?

Sometimes the outcome is new, clearly documented knowledge; sometimes it is practical results and individual or community change; and sometimes it is a change in the way people in an organization or community work and talk together. We have, for instance, seen Think Tank sessions:

• Turn "complaint and blame" community meetings into a search for options.
  
  
• Open a productive dialogue between community-based organizations and the people they serve.
  
  
• Create an atmosphere of respect for diverse sorts of expertise.
