The Framework

The Pathway Conversations™ framework allows groups to iterate their way to their best possible shared future.

The framework’s Learning, Assumptions, Questions, and Actions conversations, generate inspiration, alignment, and productivity, and move people from disconnection to connection, and from unrealistic to realistic planning.

The social architecture of Pathway Conversations™ is inspired by liberating structures like Open Space, The Art of Hosting, and Flawless Planning. Because it is question-based, and curiosity keeps us grounded in reality, it always works.

The Pathway Conversations™ model is based on Flawless Planning: The Art and Science of Planning Anything 3rd Edition (2025, Jack Ricchiuto, Nuance Works).

The Contexts

We use Pathway Conversations™ in Community Gatherings and Organizational Gatherings. In each context, people work together to make larger positive impacts.

The model makes it possible for any group of any size, focused on any scope of shared interest, to remain optimally aligned and productive.
