Prof. Andrew Caffey’s law firm is a sustainable business having transformed law practice into a paperless enterprise reducing the use of paper, ink and related supplies in favor of digital documents and digital storage something we highly value at iDecisionGames as we are committed to reducing the use of paper in classrooms. Apart from saving the environment, such developments have made negotiation teaching easier.

“The ability to automatically assign sides, or teams to a class full of students” and “the ability to accumulate results” prof. Caffey points out as the two most valuable features of the iDecisionGames platform.

During the interview, prof. Caffey explains what negotiation services are most commonly used for, what kinds of dispute resolutions they are applied in as well as how they differ from mediation and the alike. Though a lawyer, prof. Caffey also introduced us to the application of negotiation in various situations in our lives — not just in court.

Interestingly, prof. Caffey learned about iDecisionGames through his son, an MBA student at the Haas School of Business at Berkeley. It always makes us happy to hear about happy customers — students and professors alike.
