Welcome to An Unscripted Future

Today our communities face leadership challenges and opportunities which bring an increased perception of personal responsibility and risk.

This is a time when each of us must exercise leadership to diagnose shifting situations and engage others in designing interventions that are less about achieving pre-defined outcomes, than they are about moving forward, collaboratively, toward approximate goals in an environment of increased, but managed, conflict and uncertainty.

These cycles of assessment/diagnosis, intervention and evaluation, within ever-shortening time horizons, are increasingly becoming the hallmark of our times and I welcome conversations about their impact on our lives.

Are we ready?


In order for us to engage community members in civic life, we need to get buy-in …which is not an easy thing to do. It is dependent on members being part of the process from the beginning and seeing a benefit in their investment and involvement.

First, we need to each assess our community needs, interest and readiness.

What is your community’s status?

Can we adequately assess it? Can we consistently assess it across communities?
