Dr. Nancy Glock-Grueneich
Vice President Research

Dr. Nancy Glock-Grueneich is Vice President Research of Intellitics, Inc.

Doctor Glock-Grueneich has forty years experience facilitating complex and contentious conversations among diverse constituencies, including twelve as faculty and 16 as the state official in charge of faculty development and curriculum design for the system of California Community Colleges. First developed as a professor teaching in a participatory manner, her facilitation skills were much strengthened by working with some 45,000 faculty and staff from a Chancellor’s Office with little direct authority over its 108 separate and highly diverse colleges, so that anything achieved had to be done by agreement of all constituencies.

She has taught, directed and/or evaluated educational programs at all levels, including daycare and high school and worked with multi-problem families, the elderly, Native Americans, villagers in rural Mexico, and prison in-mates. In 1976, when Boston was under judicial orders to desegregate, the project she headed broke through entrenched racial mistrust and interracial violence to enable multi-racial parent groups to cooperate fully in the exercise of their newly mandated powers to oversee their children?s schools.

She has also trained federal managers in the INS, Navy, Army, and Department of the Interior, among others, in performance management, problem solving and communications, and been a Senior Technical Writer for Data General Corporation.
She holds a doctorate from Harvard University in Philosophy and Education and a baccalaureate in Anthropology and Sociology from California State University at San Jose.

Dr. Nancy Glock-Grueneich is President of HIGHER EDge, a non-profit dedicated to building our capacity for a livable future. She is also the past Co-Editor and member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Public Participation (IJP2). She is currently developing a comprehensive model and glossary for the field of dialogue, deliberation and related processes and writing a book on Higher Education and Human Survival.
