First developed as a professor teaching in a participatory manner, her facilitation skills were much strengthened by working with some 45,000 faculty and staff from a Chancellor’s Office with little direct authority over its 108 separate and highly diverse colleges, so that anything achieved had to be done by agreement of all constituencies.She has taught, directed and/or evaluated educational programs at all levels, including daycare and high school and worked with multi-problem families, the elderly, Native Americans, villagers in rural Mexico, and prison in-mates. In 1976, when Boston was under judicial orders to desegregate, the project she headed broke through entrenched racial mistrust and interracial violence to enable multi-racial parent groups to cooperate fully in the exercise of their newly mandated powers to oversee their children?s schools.She has also trained federal managers in the INS, Navy, Army, and Department of the Interior, among others, in performance management, problem solving and communications, and been a Senior Technical Writer for Data General Corporation.She holds a doctorate from Harvard University in Philosophy and Education and a baccalaureate in Anthropology and Sociology from California State University at San Jose.Dr. Nancy Glock-Grueneich is President of HIGHER EDge, a non-profit dedicated to building our capacity for a livable future.

Zilino is built on the principles of good process, meaning our aim is to translate the building blocks that make in-person dialogue and deliberation processes and methods work and make them available online. Zilino is built on the assumption that good process online still requires a considerable amount of human handholding and steering (i.e. facilitation) and is intended to be used as a tool for skilled practitioners without whose design and communications skills success is impossible to achieve._66ddb5d6-df01-11e3-af66-4884ec429d9cResearchContribute to the growing body of study and academic research on e-participation, online deliberation and other forms of digital engagement._66ddb702-df01-11e3-af66-4884ec429d9c3We are researchers -- We are building the company with the clear goal of becoming productive contributors to the growing body of study and academic research on e-participation, online deliberation and other forms of digital engagement.
