    Editor: VIVIAN HUTCHINSON

    VIVIAN LIVES AND WORKS in New Plymouth, New Zealand and edits The Jobs Letter, an information service and media watch for people working on employment and economic issues. He is a co-founder of the Heart Politics Gatherings, and a Steward of the Tauhara Centre in Taupo, New Zealand.

    Vivian Hutchinson first started using the strategic questioning techniques in his work with community groups, and in enterprise courses for the unemployed, after Fran Peavey gave workshops at the Heart Politics Gatherings in New Zealand in 1991. He quickly found the ideas and concepts behind strategic questioning to be a powerful tool in his own work for change. In 1993, he worked with Fran in compiling and editing her talks and articles at the Heart Politics Gatherings into this paper on Strategic Questioning.
