ResourcesHistory of Shared Vision PlanningShared Vision Planning has a rich history and evolution that has brought it to where it is today. Interestingly, different organizations have come to use Shared Vision Planning through different experiences. These pages capture the history of how the Army Corps of Engineers and Sandia National Laboratory came to use Shared Vision Planning for water resources management from two very different perspectives. However, the story from any organization’s perspective begins in the 1970s when C.S. (Buzz) Hollings, a Florida professor, suggested that computers could be used to meld the requirements of various stakeholders and decision makers with water resources engineering analyses. In the late 1970s, Richard Palmer used a simple simulation model in a gaming exercise in which representatives from water agencies in the Washington, D.C., area pretended to represent each other’s positions. The exercise not only demonstrated how they could improve the reliability of their individual systems by joint operation, it convinced them to do it (please refer to the case study of the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin-ICPRB for more details).
