and future decisions.”
– Josephine Rydberg, Managing Director, IKEA
If you are like most leaders, managers and consultants, you often feel frustrated when you don’t see engagement, enthusiasm and energy amongst your staff, constituents and other stakeholders.
Perhaps you worry that your meetings are not as productive as they could be but don’t quite know how to change them. You might have tried to change others’ behaviour and found that it doesn’t help — and often makes things worse.
This Network exits to provide an approach to help you solve these problems and create the organisation or community you dream of.
The approach is called Future Search and it is based on over 60 years of management theory and practice. It is recognised globally as a leading approach for effecting organisational change and community development. It is based on 8 principles.
