Summary: Gaining A Broad View and A Deeper Understanding
Review: Futures that Work presents the search conference - a practical way to bring together groups of people who want to make positive change happen for their organization or community. The search offers a collective way for all the members of an organization to view the "whole elephant" so that they can gain a mutual understanding of the issue at hand. Since the preparation for the search is critical to its success, the authors give the reader a full description of how to plan for a search conference, design tips, and glimpses into searches from around the world. People or organizations involved with systemic change efforts will find a highly readable and useful guide to a dynamic planning tool which leads to clear and measurable results in a world filled with conflicting goals and agendas.
