At 1-Focus International, we have created a sustainability framework that integrates and honors large scale and individual change processes.

In the spirit of sharing knowledge with others about these various large scale change methodologies, I bring your attention to the process known as a “Wisdom Council” developed by Jim Rough who also coined the term that he uses “dynamic facilitation“. (You will find other videos at Veoh which explains this approach as well as others.)

There are twelve principles to the Wisdom Council process. DeAnna Martin, Director of the nonprofit Center for Wise Democracy, discusses them with Jim Rough, originator of the Wisdom Council. Personally, I find the video a little long at 30 minutes – even though they seems to run out of time. This video is a little dated (12/13/04) as there are more recent discussions about Wisdom Councils.
