Future Forward SummitStakeholder Team
Presentations
  • The future of Ft. McMurray is in our hands

Were using an asset-based approach vs.
deficit-based approach
  • Building on our assets rather than a focus on the
    problems. If we look for problems they will
    paralyze us. Instead were dreaming of the
    possibilities and building on whats good

Asset or strength-based approach
  • Scarcity to an abundance mentality
  • Liberate the imagination
  • Memory ties us to the past imagination points
    us to the future.
