KSCO Sun Marian aka Mrs Future of the Dr Future Show was filming the entirety of this Facilitated 2-day Session, She reported on her experience as co-host of
KSCO Dr Future Show (starting after the first 7 minute segment).
It’s about “how we, as a community, get to define ourselves going forward.”;
How do we want to be thought of as a community and how does this opportunity fit into future plans for our county?
e.g. the invention of the surfboard grew out of this innovative, dynamic place.
This is really about starting the conversation that has been missing,
We are better off with ALL the community thinking about this issue – in terms of our future.
What and who we are can be reflected in every aspect of our landscape and our strategic plans.
We have no idea because the future of transportation technology is just getting started / it’s IN development

Dynamic Facilitation invites a new conversation by welcoming all input from those in the room as legitimate potentially fruitful grist for the mill. Every utterance without exception fits one of four categories; ‘Data’, ‘Concern’, ‘Solution’, Problem-statement’...; round and round, hour after hour. And the conversation morphs, marked by surprising junctures, shifts and breakthroughs.
From this arises organically, the obvious ‘Of Courses’ (what anyone can see) and ‘Actionable steps’
– ‘Winning the game’ would be generating a recognizably legitimate Voice of the People. This could inspire people by making it clear that their concerns are respected and their ideas are valuable, and it could free policy makers from the sense that anything they try to do will be opposed by special interest groups and inspire them to make active use of the WCP to guide their actions. In the long run, it could lead to a systemic change in the way we organize self-governance.
