Past Projects
based in Geneva, Switzerland, is an independent international organization "committed to improving the state of the world" by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas. Since the 2005 Annual Meeting in Davos, Tomorrow Makers, together with MG Taylor Corporation, Architects of Group Genius, and individuals from our knowledge worker network, has been teaching and transferring operational know-how of the MG Taylor System and Method to the Forum.
The principle creation of this multi-year engagement is the Davos WorkSpace, a state-of-the-art integration of environment, process and technology that brings the Forum unprecedented capabilities of collaboration and co-design. First deployed during the 2005 Annual Meeting, the WorkSpace has been an integral part of Regional Summits in Africa and the Middle East and become a centerpiece of the gathering in Davos, hosting well over a thousand participants over the course of 25 sessions during the 2007 Annual Meeting.

Tomorrow Makers continues working with the Forum in an advisory and advocacy role to the team charged with bringing these collaboratory processes deeper into the Forum's culture and way of working.
WEALTH OWNERS FORUM
based in Liechtenstein has been working with us for several years to help them design events and processes where private wealth owners can recognize new patterns emerging that will help them invest in "the right side of change." These individuals recognize that they have more - much more - say over how their dollars are invested than for-profit corporations.
The WOF gathered for an annual meeting in the Tomorrow Makers, EU environment in Liechtenstein in late January, 2008.is delivering a new local and regional economic development model. It’s a different approach toward creating a sustainable modern economy, building community and protecting the environment. It looks to serve the needs of today without sacrificing those of tomorrow.
People are at many different levels of awareness and understanding of the complexity and urgency of the economic, social and environmental issues we face. As people's awareness grows, so does the their vision for a sustainable future. Individuals and communities must start working together to solve the myriad of problems we face. Tomorrow Makers is working with the Livability Project to focus, organize and accelerate the development of localized sustainable economies.The Livability Project has moved into the Sonoma Mountain Village Business Inovation Cluster in October. While the SMV project is exciting in many aspects, the real pull is that it has just been selected to be a One Planet Living Community... and the first one in the United States! This means that SMV will join with 10 other communities around the world to establish new standards for living and community. Kelley Rajala, founder of the LP is spearheading one of SMV OnePlanetLiving initiatives: Equity and Fair Trade. Tomorrow Makers is providing a small MGTaylor NavCenter as part of the program. All parties ... The Livability Project, SMV One Planet Living, the SMV Business Cluster, and Tomorrow Makers ... are excited. Together we expect to accomplish remarkable things!
THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE SYSTEMS SCIENCES (ISSS) - held its 50th Annual Meeting July 9 - 14, 2006, at Sonoma State University in Rohert Park, CA. Tomorrow Makers partnered with the ISSS and others in the design of the overall structure and sequencing of the week, and with Syntony Quest for a 3-hour participatory session around Social Systems Design & Practice.
How does a community "devoted to interdisciplinary inquiry into the nature of complex systems" design an annual meeting consistent with the principles of those same complex systems?
Helping to create and then unfold the event was a tremendous experience and successful in bringing an unprecidented level of process variety to the mind-boggling content variety this community continues to produce. Now, we are continuing our exploration with a local community of ISSS members, intent on creating and discovering opportunities for this systems thinking to become a vital, shaping force in our everyday worlds.What experience can be designed to have participants pull forth ideas and work them into stories around democracy, complexity and sustainability - stories that provide us with paths forward?
GLOBAL LEADERS OF TOMORROW - Young leaders from over 50 countries coming together to design ways of working together and to create a force for positive change over the short and long term.
IDENTITY COMMONS - A social networking project reaches beyond startup.
