We use these core principles to reach honorable compromise:
- New math: the sum is greater than the parts
- Blue oceans: there are always unexplored options
- Go towards: humans reside on the other end of the debate
- Power of stories: rationality is not enough to gain understanding
- Negotiation: know your BATNA
- Purple problem-solving: find lasting red/blue blends
- Peacemaking: policy war is costly
- Ethics and good faith. Period.
Less and less purple: managing across the lines has gotten a lot harder.
