Effectiveness of a charrette for reviving collaborative planning process

We evaluated the effectiveness of a charette for reviving the collaborative planning process by two critetia. Criterion one is "How the charette worked for letting people to think another person's stance." and criterion two is "How the charette worked for reviving the collaborative decision-making process." We had the experimental charette with students, and found that it worked for understanding people's stance and collaborative decisionmaking process. It specially worked for compromising with other participants regarding conflict points.
