  2. Low public profile?

    What other like programs have multiple Harvard Negotiation Journal articles examining the process and design of the program?

    Who else is presenting at IOA this year on the value return of the program?

    Just curious...which programs have a "High" public profile?

    All true and the characterization was certainly not intended as a criticism, especially of any individual at Halliburton. Instead, it reflected the lack of public information about the Halliburton Dispute Resolution Program itself. Some ombuds offices put annual reports, staff profiles, videos, etc., on the internet. As far as I can tell, Halliburton does not. Of course, many corporate ombuds restrict such information to employee intranets, so this is not unusual. Job seekers hoping to do basic background research, however, will be frustrated.
