Partners
The SF approach itself is based on collaboration. We are grateful for our rich network of partnerships with organisation worldwide who continue to grow and experiment to better understanding of how SF and be useful for all types of organisations.
Here is a list of our closest partnerships:
SOL World Community:
SOL World stands for Solutions in Organisations Link-up and its strap line is “Sharing and Building Solutions Focused practice in organisations”. The was formed in 2002 and has held international conferences every year since, attracting participants from over 20 countries. It has also held three summer universities and events in Japan (J-SOL) and North America. SOLWorld is a network based on a spirit of generosity and collaboration. It does not favour a membership based organisation with the corresponding administrative costs and duties. Many contributors at SFIO are involved in both groups.

Journal of Solution Focused Practices:
The JSFP aims to support the Solution Focused community through the publication of high-quality research in outcome, effectiveness or process of the Solution Focused approach and the publication of high quality theoretical and/or case-study related material in the area of Solution Focused practice. You can read the articles at no charge on the website and through Substack. See links below. The JSFP differs from SFiO’s InterAction Collection in that it covers all SF disciplines, not organisational specific, and has a more academic focus.

SF on Tour:
Dominik Godat and Elfie Czerny have done amazing work collecting the practices of Solution Focus practitioners around the globe: “Our best hope is that all of YOU who join our journey are fascinated by the explored benefits of this focus and that we all start to have even more solution focused interactions: seeing and acknowledging our own and others brilliance, inviting each other to talk about our preferred futures, finding out what works towards that, and exploring signs of progress in our daily lives.”
