The making of a new culture: Book chapter by Alexander and Kathia Laszlo
The work of Syntony Quest was conceived within the community of the International Systems Institute, under the guidance and mentorship of Bela H. Banathy. Bela passed away in 2003 and left a legacy of love and knowledge to comprehensively redesign our social systems: education, business, healthcare, society at large. One of the projects that he left unconcluded was a compendium of writings by members of the systems community on the role of dialogue in design conversations -- or conversations that create the future.
