  • Everyone has the capacity through thought, action and interaction to shape and change our worlds, our organizations and ourselves.
  • Building on recognized strengths is the foundation for quality research, planning, implementation and evaluation.

  • Every voice counts in dialogue that values difference.
  • Organizations and communities that thrive are those who support a culture of learning and are willing to ask hard questions.

If, as most of us believe, we have the power to shape the world
according to our visions and desires then how come we have collectively
made such a mess of it? Our social and physical world can
and must be made, re-made, and, if that goes awry, re-made yet again.
Where to begin and what is to be done are the key questions.
