About Us

Inspired Futures is about building a people-focused local economy. It is based on a model that has been tried and tested throughout the world by Dr Ernesto Sirolli . It has been set up to of support the creation of wealth from within our community by nurturing the intelligence and resourcefulness of our people.

Inspired Futures champions the development of community pride through the passionate mentoring of local talent.

We promote quality local enterprises that:

• diversify the economic base,
• create jobs
• respect the natural environment and
• infuse the community with local vigour and content

We support home businesses, mixed use areas, liveable cities and the emergence of a civic society.

The method we use to achieve local business growth is Enterprise Facilitation, a social technology that is now being recognized as a viable complement to and, at times, an alternative to traditional top down economic development strategies.

Enterprise Facilitation is based on the passion, entrepreneurship, innovation, creativity and the fundamental needs for love, respect, quality and beauty that can be found in every community. It maintains that every object we use, the clothes on our backs, our houses, our food, our music, our beliefs and our paths through life are the result of passionate people transforming their talents and visions into good work.

Inspired Futures holds that the ‘secret’ of a successful local economy is nothing less than people doing well what they love doing. The better they are at it, the better the economy! The difference between poverty and riches is the presence, or not, of a connected society, i.e. the combination of social conditions and positive networking which allow creativity and intelligence to blossom.
