The Future Search Network offers two different public workshops. They are presented by Sandra Janoff and Marvin Weisbord, co-directors of Future Search Network and co-authors of Future Search: An Action Guide to Finding Common Ground in Organizations and Communities. 1. MANAGING A FUTURE SEARCH - A LEARNING WORKSHOP (MFS) is for facilitators and managers who want to learn how applying future search principles enables a community or organization to transform its capability for action. Participants will acquire the tools needed to organize and manage future search conferences with integrity in any sector or culture. MFS runs one evening, two full days and a morning. Workshops for 2002 are offered in the United States, Europe and South Africa. 2. FACILITATING THE WHOLE SYSTEM IN THE ROOM (FWS) presents a philosophy, theory and method for transforming diverse work groups of all kinds. This seminar, integrating system change and personal growth theories is for experienced leaders who want to increase their capacity to help large diverse groups stay task-focused and accomplish ambitious goals. Future search experience is not necessary for this workshop. FWS runs one afternoon, one full day and one morning. Workshops for 2002 are offered in the United States and Europe.
