Over the years I have run a lot of future search type activities
often the focus has been to develop a series of vision statements etc.
as we have got to the end of the time I have often asked people to look at
the voting result and ask if it reflects What they would want personally.

I have found, over and over, after voting takes place that the group does not
want to see any topic left out, and they proceed with combining issues. Over
and over, I've also found that -- after action planning starts with these
last-minute combined topics, that the original convenors will come ba

Being a muller (I have difficulty with the conscious world - this also
means that I do not see what others have written until I have the same
thought myself)) this has triggered some things for me.

Jim, I recently had a similar experience of people wanting to combine
everything for follow up action groups. I suggested that they take on the top
5 issues and that they could always come back to their list and take on other
topics for follow up. That is what happened and in fact two of the group

regardless of votes. Often something is missed that appears to

Thanks for your story. I regret that I could not drop in and visit while you
were in Melbourne.
Lumping is difficult and it does seem to be universal, especially when your pet
