viaFuture - Our Mission.

As we look around us in
viaFuture's mission is to partner with others to help create and sustain a thriving future through the use of “next generation” strategy for solving large problems and creating and sustaining positive, large scale change.
"Next generation" policy and strategy models, such as the via strategy, are designed to succeed with a future that is at high risk, has threats to its sustainability, is large and broad of scope, is complex, is highly interactive and interdependent, will depend heavily on what people do, and will change with or without us. [See via Strategy and Models.]
viaFuture, working with you and others, can help create and sustain positive strategic change as the path to fix problems and create and sustain a thriving future for communities, regions, and nations.
viaFuture - Our approach.
"viaFuture" helps to create and sustain positive strategic and operational change as the path to fix problems and to create and sustain a thriving future for organizations, communities, regions and nations. Leadership and multiple generational efforts are combined with next generation strategy, policy, program, performance and management. "via" is the core system of of “next generation” strategies, models and tools used by viaFuture. [See via Strategy and Models.]
"Vulnerable in America" is collaborative strategy to minimize vulnerability in and across America as the path to a thriving America.
"Building a Healthy America" is a collaborative strategy to transform to affordable, person-centered, outcomes-driven, and "e" enabled health systems as a way to build an American health system achieving a healthy America.

Advanced by the art are core progressive values - reducing human vulnerability, maximizing health and well-being, maximizing human potential, saving our environment, and living at "peace on and with the earth." Progressive art is art with a purpose and artist as advocate. "Art as advocacy; advocacy as art."

Vulnerable in America (via)
In America and in the World, we are all vulnerable to a greater or less extent. We need to minimize vulnerability via policies and politics that systematically stop forces that push us down to more vulnerability and support forces that lift us out of vulnerability.
“Vulnerable in America (via)” is a potential national strategy to minimize vulnerability. “Vulnerable in America” is what we are targeting to change. “via”, defined as by way or means of, is how we bring about the change. We want to move toward the vision of a thriving America and the endgame strategy for achieving that vision.
To help make this happen, we draw upon lessons learned over the past 30+ years among the Federal Executive and Legislative branches, local government, and private sector organizations to create more effective and integrated programs and policies for reducing vulnerability and to successfully manage these programs and policies.
