Review

"This time-tested approach capitalizes on the tremendous power of the human spirit to create innovative plans. It is a treasure trove of practical experiences and easy to understand principles for planning success. I highly recommend this relevant book." Tom Devane, co-author, with Peggy Holman, of 'The change handbook: group methods for shaping the future.' "What makes Search so memorable is the short period of time in which this 'shift' occurs - it is nothing less than transformation in the course of two days!" Nancy Intermill, Lincoln/Greater Nebraska Alzheimer's Association "Futures that work" restores one's faith in the collective capacity of people - regardless of position, status, age, race, or gender - to come together and create positive futures for themselves and their systems. The many cases reflect true democracy at work...my dearest wish is that leaders of troubled organizations and nations will read and heed the lessons of this book" Barry Oshry, author of 'Seeing systems: unlocking the mysteries of organizational life'
