Richard and Maria Maguire, the principals of Unfolding Futures,
work as a team to discern, design and lead programmes for their
clients. They have learned continuously about the interdependence
of issues, disciplines, people, organisations and cultures.
They draw from a wide range of methodologies and experiences in
Australia, Europe and the US and to adapt each programme to the
particular situation. They aim to achieve optimum engagement and
results, enabling cooperation and human technology transfer.
Both Richard and Maria are university educated with a broad range
of experience and qualifications in strategic planning, training,
science, information systems, philosophy, religion and community
development. They continue to study and research the management
of people and systems that enable integration of personal and
organisational values. They are committed to creating powerful learning
environments and assisting organisations to discover their real
options for the future and skillfully choose what's best for
themselves and the planet.
