Greetings dear Dwig,
When I use Google's advance search engine at
< http://www.google.com/advanced_search >
with
win-win
in the the second window, it gives 680 000 hits. They are far
too much to work through.
My own experiences is that the lack of creativity plays an immense
role in win-lose conflicts. Thus I will prune Google's search by
adding into the first window:-
creativity
with still in the second window:-
win-win
Thus the hits are reduced from 680 000 to 16 800. On merely the
first page (first ten hits) of Google the following two were already
worth while to study:
"Unity in Diversity: Creating "Win-Win" Connections"
< http://www.island-resort.com/unity.htm >
"System approach to Win-Win resolution of conflicts"
< http://www.triz-journal.com/archives/2001/02/c/ >
If 16 800 hits are still too much, try adding a second key word
related to creativity in the first window:-
creativity wholeness
This gave 294 hits of which the first one
"Wholeness, Interconnectedness and Co-creativity"
< http://www.co-intelligence.org/I-whole_interconn_cocreatv.html >
is already very interesting.
Using in the first window:-
creativity wholeness openness
and the second window:-
win-win
gives only 53 hits. The following immediately struck my eyes:-
"Kinshasa: Beyond Dichotomies"
< http://i-p-o.org/kinshasa.htm >
because its title speaks of insight into win-lose conflicts while it
also refers to a city of Africa. So I studied the article, found very
little formal systems thinking on win-win, but incredibly much
reflections on a city ruined by win-lose thinking. Not to worry
because a few hits further on I found
"Complexity Theory: Actions for a Better World" at
< http://www.calresco.org/action.htm >
in which a lot of systems thinking may be found.
It is clear that a lot of people have already thought much on win-win
dynamics. Anyone committed to Learning Organisations ought to think about
it too.
With care and best wishes
