Sounds great ... this sorta thing has been in the works a long time. Hope it thrives.

BTW enterprises like http://decisionlens.com/ ... my pitch for years has been that what I call "subjective narrative" should be part of decision making, especially for capture of expertise, but also to find out what's actually salient to the players (enter cog- and social-psych).
I use the phrase "participatory deliberation". (RC Church in the 60s was real big on "group discernment" ... this aulde hippie remembers that. *grin*)
