Future Search

This text explores a new way for organizations and communities to apply global thinking and democratic values to achieve rapid whole systems improvement. In this approach - called future searches, search conferences, or simply searches - people with diverse interests who have a stake in an organization or issue come together for two or three days to explore their mutual past, present and future in a global context. The text is full of principles, techniques and trade secrets on group dynamics and facilitation methods useful for running successful future search conferences.
