Part 2 of this book provides an overview of this rich history from multiple lenses. In this part, we briefly turn the spotlight to the most recent developments in which the BADV Project evolved.

The Search Conference method enables participants “to create a plan for the most desirable future of their community” that they themselves will implement (Emery and Purser 1996). The method challenges the notion that planning is a task reserved for the elite; “People are purposeful creatures with the capacity to select and produce desirable outcomes and they will accept responsibility for a task that is meaningful for them.”

Although many authors analyze Turkey’s business networks as secular and religious (for example, see Atiyas et al. 2016), represented by TÜSİAD and MÜSIAD, respectively, and the share of companies in the religious network has increased among the top 1,000 firms significantly, most big companies are members of TÜSİAD. Those that are members of MÜSIAD are also members of TÜSİAD. In the beginning of the BADV project, after TÜSİAD offered its support to the fight against IPV, the CGFT repeatedly requested a meeting from the president of MÜSIAD without success.

We must note that the opinions of Öniş and Türem (2002) reflect a period when neoliberal globalism was on the rise whereas following the 2008 crises, business discourse had an increasingly Keynesian undertone.
- 24.
The CGFT was founded jointly by TÜSİAD and Sabancı University in 2002 and remained as a jointly governed body until 2015.
