Future Search Network encourages the study of future
search processes by all available methods. Anyone can participate. The "ripple effects" of future searches have been widely documented. We know that many conferences
generate cooperative action that continues for months or years, taking
on new forms and projects. We know this because many members have written
case studies and graduate theses on aspects of future search.
In addition, since 1997, more than 50 members have engaged
in studying the outcomes of future searches they have run. They use
a variety of action research methods. All are committed to advancing
our understanding of what happens before, during and after a future
search. Their documents form the nucleus of an international archive
of experience on future search accessible to members through this website. |

- Create knowledge about social change that does not
now exist;
- Discover the conditions under which future search
opens the door to sustaining new structures and processes;
- Build Future Search Network's data base for the benefit
of all members and their clients;
- Provide stories and examples that will give us deeper
insights as to why future search works well for so many people, why
some people are unable to achieve the outcomes they desire, and under
what conditions the successes can be multiplied.
