Future
Search Network provides expert future search planning and facilitation
help anywhere in the world for whatever people can afford. This service is
available
to non-profit agencies, NGO's, and many public institutions. Our members
are pledged to help regardless of budget constraints. Those receiving pro
bono
services cover at a minimum out-of-pocket travel and living costs for Network
members and agree to join the Network for one year.
For more information send an email to fsn@futuresearch.net or
call 1-800 951-6333 or internationally (01) 215 951 0328.
Future Search Network also supports local efforts to orient and train
people to run future searches in their own public and non-profit sectors.
- If you have a potential public or non-profit client for future
search, an experienced Network member will mentor you and, at your discretion,
be your co-facilitator as you learn the process.
- If you would like to introduce many organizations to future
search as a way of finding potential clients, the Network will support
you in running an orientation meeting of two to four hours in your community.
We will provide an appropriate meeting design, hand-outs and videos.
- If you would like to make a big difference in the life of
your community, we will help you organize a local Future Search Network
initiative involving up to 20 organizations at once. We train consultants
and client organizations together in a 3-day workshop preparing them to
run their own future searches and follow-up meetings.
Consultants agree to facilitate two future searches pro bono. Client
representatives and consultants attend the workshop together, maximizing their
chances for success. Consultants work in pairs. Mentors are available. Costs,
including camera-ready workshop materials for a 64-person group average $350-$400
per person (in comparison to $1200 for public workshops). Workshops are funded
by local grants and/or cost-sharing by consultants and clients.
Local Network initiatives have been organized in Philadelphia, PA,
New York, New Jersey, Washington, DC, Seattle, WA, Toronto and Ottawa, ONT,
Orange County, CA, Denver, CO, Stockholm, Sweden and Frankfurt, Germany. Hundreds
of future searches have resulted on a wide range of community issues.
