SEARCH CONFERENCE
A Search Conference is another form of large-scale intervention. The goal is to produce an adaptive relationship between an organization and it's uncertain, changing environment. It's designed to identify a desired endpoint and increase the effectiveness of strategic planning by giving those actually affected by change more control over their purposes and directions.
I learned that the process emphasizes collaborative, experiential learning and community planning. It allows the creation of shared visions and initiates the deployment of those visions by creating self-managing teams responsible for working the specifics of how to make the plan happen. I also learned that it takes the form of a jigsaw puzzle method of solving or getting information which I find sort of cool because the method is used for big organizations but jigsaw puzzles are for children.
