In our experience, it is difficult to create a
solid new scenario for the future before
everyone has had a chance to express their
own perspective and there is a shared
reality.

Active listening and productive cooperation
begin only after everyone has been heard,
even if it is not necessary for everyone to
agree with all of the perspectives
represented.

To create the conditions for success, we
conduct the meeting in three phases:
1.
 Face Reality: First, the group takes time
to understand the different perspectives
that exist and agree on a common
reality.
2.
 Uncover Potential:  Only after facing
reality can the group create a vision of
the future, and agree on the desired
outcomes.
3.
 Commit to Action:  In this critical third
phase, the group needs to define roles
and responsibilities, action items and
time tables so that the momentum
created by the meeting can continue.
It is the participants themselves that .  It is
this process that process that enables
participants to be fully committed to the
results of the meeting.

The meeting schedule is designed to
optimize the productivity of the meeting.
