        We used the Future Search to do planning in our United Methodist church last year.  Beautiful program well executed by expert people. It is not as comprehensive as the old LENS but it does a good job of receiving the past and consensing on current needs.
        Darrell Walker -- near Sacramento, California where spring has finally arrived. 

     
    Has anyone ever heard of the 'Future Search' folk?  Their website is listed below: http://www.futuresearch.net/prosperouscommunities/index.cfm

    This looks like a process that ICA facilitators might have linked into with the Office of Community Services, but it's enough of a variant not to have been.  I'm curious if anyone's run into them.
