P-10 FACILITATION: TEN PRINCIPLES FOR LEADING MEETINGS THAT MATTER

STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER 8-9 2025

ALL OF THE IMPORTANT DECISIONS WE MAKE IN SOCIETY ARE DONE IN MEETINGS.

We all attend meetings, as participants, facilitators or meeting leaders. Meetings are where good things happen - or should! At Future Search we have spent more than 30 years working with the most intractable issues in the most diverse settings, with outstanding results time after time. We want to share what we have learned and help you manage your meetings for success - every time. We have Ten Principles that can be learned and applied to any meeting of any size for instant and durable results.

Our Ten Principles enable you to design and run successful meetings by managing the meeting and managing yourself. We call our approach to facilitation the P10 Approach – 10 Principles for Leading Meetings that Matter. The P-10 Principles are used for strategic planning, team development, management retreats, community action planning, new policy development, innovation, design thinking workshops and lots more.

The P-10 Principles were developed by Sandra Janoff and Marvin Weisbord, co-creators of Future Search. In their work with Future Search, they encountered hundreds of leaders and thousands of facilitators who asked them how they got the best from their meetings. They described a practice and philosophy to lead more, control less and enable participants to accomplish what they set out to do. This meant controlling structure rather than trying to control individuals’ behaviour, and managing their own role as facilitators.

The P-10 Principles workshop is designed for maximum learning and impact. The course is delivered directly by Sandra Janoff and Michael Donnelly. The course is interactive. You will learn the principles and explore their application, using real-life examples from your work and other participants’ experience.

The Training is part of a series of 2 Future Search events taking place in September in Stockholm. See also the related Workshop on Managing a Future Search on 3-5 th of September 2025.

Länka Consulting (www.artofcollaborating.com) in Stockholm is hosting the training. Send your questions or if you want to join the training to info@lankaconsulting.se
