Mr. Stahl was a co-founder of Privatization International, Inc. a company specializing in partnerships between the public and private sector to develop assets beneficial to the public. The privatization project he managed for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1991 was the origin of THINKSHEET.



The West Point project featured an Interest Group Analysis to develop the best strategy to reconcile the conflicing agendas of key business and government officials --- plus their constituents --- for a successful project.

 
Users can now use THINKSHEET Interest Group Models and 1PAGERs to What If/War Game any private and/or public sector interest groups.


The Biden Administration could use the 1PAGER to war game the interest groups for the war in Ukraine, including the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, NATO, China, India, Pakistan, Southeast & East Asia, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

 
The leaders' motivations are multi-dimensional, interconnected and dynamic, including support from their people, geopolitical, economic, financial and military.


Unlike Putin, the Biden team could WHAT-IF the motivations under multiple, complete scenarios and see the consequences for each scenario --- often with radically different outcomes --- making all workflow processes faster and wiser.

West Point controlled the assets on the main campus, such as the Hotel Thayer and Michie Football Stadium.


However, the most valuable assets, like the 16,000 acres of surplus training land that could be converted to residential and commercial developments, involved multiple interest groups with conflicting agendas who needed to be reconciled.

The private sector groups included real estate developers, homeowners, retail tenants and customers and investors; public sector: govt officials (Orange County, NY State, Federal-DOD); also, voters, residents, the Hudson Riverkeeper with full backing of Robert Kennedy, Jr., hunters & fishermen. Time kills deals, particularly government-related projects like West Point.

A potential government-related use case is THINKSHEET China --- Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Producers could use THINKSHEET 1PAGER Tools to create analytics, reports, news, podcasts and docuseries, featuring real time updates whenever Xi Jinping changes his mind on policies with profound impact on China and the world like those below.
