NCI Charrettes CD-ROM:
An Introduction to Accelerated Collaborative Planning

Use this CD to educate your stakeholders about charrettes!


The NCI Charrettes CD is the most affordable and concise summary of the NCI Charrette System (formerly called the NCI Dynamic Planning Process) available.


"We’ve used the NCI Charrettes CD to help educate people about what a charrette actually is; as opposed to what it is not. The CD presentation is short (about an hour long), yet contains sufficient information to provide clarity. We’ve lent the CD to several potential clients and public officials. Most people become members of the “ I want a charrette” club after having watched this CD."

- Paul Crabtree, Crabtree Group, Inc.
