Hello!<br>
Some years ago I attended a couple of future search conferences, and
also a training in the method. I don´t know if I was perhaps not the
right person, but I got angry and frustrated many times, not to say
worse words. They tried to make me think about what the facilitator
told me to think of, and they tried to make me stop think when the time
was out, they tried to make us start conversations, and to stop
conversations, they decided which group we should talk in, and they
sliced the gruops and put us in new constellations not when we wanted
but when their method so required. We then had to agree on what was
left or at least keep our mouths shut. That was the "common ground". <br>
<br>
Still, it was much of the time nice, interesting and a creative clima -
I thought that it was an interesting method, giving much more room for
participants than many other. But after that I met Open Space...and I
understood that I will never never recommend Future Search to anybody,
if Open Space is an option. <br>
This is my opinion. Perhaps I am wrong.<br>

want to know waht people really think, want, wish, go for use Open
Space but hen your never know with what tey will come.... (it is often
a concern of sponsors). Future Search is, I think a more structured
process, you go form one predefine step to another. It will bring the
participants sure to a <strong>common ground</strong> on what they
want. As for Open Space you also get the diversity, the differences ans
the disputes..... I think a three day Open space is more fun and gives
a more complete picture. </font></span></div>

<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I have an OS related question- I've
only recently come across the <strong>Future Search</strong> process
and training. While it has several components similar to OS and World
Cafe- and perhaps other participative processes- I'm wondering if any
uses this process- and if so, does it dovetail with OS? Do you use it
differentially - in specific situations? One major difference that I
see, initially, is the length of time for these workshops, 2-3 days.</font></div>
