    Here at the University of Arizona (where GroupSystems was developed) we
    have used the software for literally hundreds of strategic planning
    projects.  I have facilitated a couple of dozen sessions with various
    University units doing strategic planning.  I agree with Annie
    regarding the gains seen using GroupSystems and I agree with Stephen
    that CoSy alone will not be adequate.  For further reference you may
    want to take a look at the Galegher and Kraut paper from CSCW '90 where
    they discussed a series of experiments of MBA students doing groupwork
    manually, using e-mail and using CoSy.  You might also want to take a
    look at the July 91 issue of CACM for an article that summarizes the
    gains found at Arizona when using GroupSystems for various types of
    meeting tasks.
