Ann W. Martin, Ed.D. is a Senior Consultant with Praxis and a part-time faculty member at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology. She has taught and facilitated dialogue, conflict resolution, and organizational development using knowledge of these fields as a resource whether a client organization’s needs are for better communication, strategic planning, leadership development, or the productive use of conflict. The common approach in all of her work is to include participants in defining and shaping the changes needed for improvement. Ann was a senior extension faculty member at Cornell University’s School Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR) for 19 years, an experience that provided a grounding in labor-management cooperation and the systems approach to organizational development. In addition to conflict and organizational change work, she taught and led interest-based negotiation and problem-solving for most of those years. Ann’s clients include schools, both public and collegiate, manufacturing, and the service sector. A recent client is the Erie County Association of School Boards, where she led a participatory research project to propose avenues for collaboration to improve education for all students in the City of Buffalo and the 28 surrounding school districts. Other clients have been the Unified Court System of New York, Planned Parenthood of New York City, the Mead Paper Company and the UPIU, the Ryder Corporation, the New York City Public Schools, and the AAUP and Rutgers University. Ann has a BA from Middlebury College, an MAT from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, an MILR from the Cornell School of Industrial and Labor Relations, and an Ed.D. in Adult and Organizational Learning from Teachers College, Columbia University.
