Professional Discussions are being used all around the world to tackle three main circumstances:to assess knowledge and explore behaviours and values,
as an alternative to the reflective account, and to help deal with sensitivities(Ellen Lancaster of Cardonald College). They are sometimes unproductive. In my experience, unproductive Professional Discussions had taken place when rules were not clearly set, when people were not prepared enough to move the discussion forward, and when the person in charge was not open to discuss wild(out of the box)ideas. Nevertheless, a well conducted discussion could definitely help an organization thrive nowadays.
As for the Ground Rules, I happen to find them very thorough. My contribution would be to create a rule which states that when you feel like someone is "attacking" you(writing about something you did or wrote), you should not "attack back"(explain why you did or write something). This will be really useful to keep the discussion on track and moving it forward instead of backwards.
The Online Discussion Rubrics are clear and fair.

P.S. I would like to share the link to a really complete Power Point Presentation about Professional discussions. It is free to download.
