Sandra Janoff, PhD co-developed the principle-based methodology called Future Search, a process used world-wide to get the “whole system” focusing on the future and creating values-based action strategies. Sandra’s work has had global, national, regional and local influence on an array of complex social and economic issues, such as: Creating a future for children living in the midst of war in Sudan; Creating a more welcoming Europe for people on the move; Enabling equitable maternal care across the United States; Redesigning global process in corporations such as IKEA and Haworth for environmental and economic sustainability; Addressing disaster risk reduction in the southern hemisphere with UNDP; and building communities in many parts of the world that were previously torn apart by racism, sectarianism, economic blight, loss of traditional values and severe health and well-being inequities.
