Hi Brett,
I haven't yet worked with OST on sustainability (I would love to!) but have done a lot of visual facilitation (visual mapping) on sustainability for a variety of clients. I'm specializing in that niche because of my background in environmental politics and policy. In fact, I just came from Accenture's International conference on Energy and Utilities which had a huge focus on sustainability, including Colin Powell's keynote. I would love to be the person you all think of when you are putting a facilitation team together that is working on sustainability issues.

I am working on a survey for NYC Accelerator for Cleantech and Renewable Energy. We'd like to speak to anyone who has applied OST to sustainability projects in communities, municipalities, regions. Our focus is to understand how OST can improve engagement and design process for sustainability development or technology projects as well as mitigate political and delay risks for financiers of these projects. Our finds have the potential to open up more liquidity for investment in locally sponsored revenue or carbon credit generating sustainability projects by better managing costs and delay or political risks of doing small locally based deals. We're interviewing players at every step of the value chain from design through project developers in solar, wind, tidal, geo-thermal, micro-grid, permaculture, waste/discards, water, brown fields re-development, de-paving, community agriculture to financing, construction, and management. Please let me know if you have any knowledge of OST applied to projects like these. We really look forward to talking to you about it. We'll share our findings results with our survey participants. Best regards, Brett Barndt -- Seek first to understand, then be understood.
