“Everybody” Improving Whole Systems

Future Search is for leaders who seek wholeness. Instead of patching up broken systems with fragmented solutions, we shift gears to engage the whole system. By bringing together the right people to share their perspectives, they learn about each other, the system, and the broader context. Focusing on shared goals rather than divisive issues, participants discover a common story rooted in their values. This unleashes the energy needed to drive sustainable change.

Facilitating for Vision and Implementation

Facilitators, using Future Search design and facilitation principles, enable participants to experience the power and joy of accomplishing what they set out to do.  When decision-makers, experts, and those affected by the decisions are together in the room, good decisions can be made and put into action. Facilitators help keep the group focused and cohesive, so everyone gains a deeper understanding of the complexity and their role in the big picture. The impact of a well designed and facilitated meeting continues for years!

Is a Future Search in your future?
Here is what we know:

  • Gather the right people: Success in Future Search hinges on bringing the right individuals together for 16 – 20 hours.
  • Take the Future Search Journey: A few days of Future Search can lead to more action and follow-up than numerous smaller meetings spread over months or years.
  • Experience it to believe it: Many people find these statements hard to believe until they experience Future Search for themselves.
