CASE 4.4 The Native Plant Ordinance Meeting

In The Heller Social Impact Case Collection

Elizabeth V. Sessions

 

This simulation puts students in positions of stakeholders in a fictional community negotiating whether to use 100% native species in new city plantings. Students are assigned roles as advocates, city officials and politicians all with different perspectives and interests. They must find common ground to come to an agreement that is both practical and environmentally positive. The simulation enables instructors to illustrate the benefits of a value creation mindset in negotiations.
