Future Search
Since 1991 more than?5,000?people, working in every sector around the world, have attended the face-to-face workshop known as ¡°Managing A Future Search¡±.?Participants have gone on to stimulate positive social, technological and economic cooperation around the globe. The workshop goal has always been to provide participants the tools, insights and support to manage successful Future Searches. Now we bring you the additional tools and techniques to allow you to run a Future Search in Virtual Space ¡ª whether completely on-line or hybrid.

The Technology
We developed Future Search in Virtual Space??with Bluescape?, a sophisticated, secure, visual platform used globally in large enterprises. We chose to partner with Bluescape so we could provide participants with access to ¡°time lines,¡± ¡°mind maps,¡± ¡°creative scenarios,¡± ¡°common ground,¡± small group and large group dialogues with all the interactivity of a Future Search meeting. It is an exciting digital experience!

Future Search in Virtual Space?¨C A Unique Opportunity
We know that the principal of ¡°everybody improving whole systems¡± is transformative. There is so much brokenness in the world today. We are energized about our readiness to respond, enabling people to cross boundaries and address seemingly intractable problems. FSVS offers the opportunity for more and more of us around the planet to participate in the battle against climate change, education inequities, social injustice and more. Imagine taking on these problems while cutting back on our carbon footprint. FSVS provides your sponsor a robust, secure process that works and your participants an online tool they can easily use, with no need to be a trained techie.
