The residents of the Bryn Gweled (Bucks County, PA) intentional community, met on January 2003 with hopes of defining intentions for the future of their community. To this end, they decided to apply the Structured Design Process (SDP), as is documented in Alexander’s Christakis’ text, How People Harness Their Collective Wisdom and Power to Construct the Future in Co-Laboratories of Democracy.
The group of stakeholders generated 42 different intentions, of which the top five were selected based on their higher relative importance. Quite interestingly, the two most influential intentions, based on the diagnosed influence tree, were also among the top five.
By utilizing SDP, the residents of this community now feel that they’re on the correct path to constructing their future.
