---------Building "Common Grounds" and "Future Vision" - Exploring possible agreements among people with divergent view and interests and to build consensus planning with/among them.

What it is:

The Future Search Conference is a planning strategy that is especially suited for complex system issues; the process allows people to explore what is happening in the larger environment, understand the need for change, co-create the future together, and formulate action plans.

The Future Search Conferences are highly participative; they involve those who can contribute to the issue or have a   stake in it and are built on the strong belief that people will support what they help to create.

 It is best applied and adapted when:

        ◆  Trickle own planning and change often doesn' t work well.

        ◆  People support what they help to create.

        ◆  Diversity of thought and systemic thinking.

        ◆  Creates more innovation and sustainable change.

Future Search Basics:

        ◆  Whole system in the Room.

        ◆  Think Globally, Act Locally (Explore the Whole Before Fixing Any Part).

        ◆  Future Focus and common Ground.

        ◆  Self-Management and Responsibility for Action.

        ◆  Collaborations and communication among team member.

Amazing results are often for Future Search Conferences - people acknowledge and understand their differences, and then seek to discover common ground that all can support. Tremendous power and energy may be unleashed that had once been tied up fighting each other. The resulting common ground vision can become the basis for a both immediate actions and long-term plans that all can support.
