Introduced by Bodil Mickels Reflections on the Sustainability Unconference How can a solution-focused approach help create sustainable organisations? This was the theme at the SOLWorld “Unconference” sponsored by SFiO, in Land aan Zee, Netherlands, in mid-April 2024. 34 solution-focused coaches, organisational consultants, trainers and sustainability researchers, were present, representatives of public and local administrations, academia, private companies, and the third sector, making it a truly diverse and enriching experience. They joined from Europe, Australia and Canada, to ponder the theme question in a nature-rich environment. The forces of weather also participated in the experience, offering both sunshine and warmth, as well as torrential rain, thunder, and storms.

Introduction by John Teager A very special and enduring bond was established when Anton Stellamans, Jonas Wells and Mark McKergow met, for the first time, at the SOL World Conference in Sweden in 2004. This opportune bringing together of philosophy, anthropology and rabid curiosity led to an immediate connection and a natural conversation on how Solution Focus, and the groundbreaking work of Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, could be evolved and brought into organisations and society more widely.
We are group of international Solution-Focused Practitioners who are learning how to effectively apply SF in organisations. The practice of Solution Focus (co-founded by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg) continues to grow internationally as does the number of people using the approach in coaching and in organisations. We look forward to discovering how it works best with you.
The SOLWorld list is a dynamic email group for professionals interested in applying Solution Focus in organisational settings. It’s a place to share insights, questions, and experiences about SF in organisations. Connect with a vibrant community passionate about leveraging SF principles for growth and transformation. Keep up-to-date with what is happening in the SF in organisations community.
The Global Online Chapters are a great occasion to connect to SF practioners from all around the world. We host 1-2 online zoom meetings every month, featuring case studies, applications and the now traditional online Fika (coffee break).
