In this talk I will show how one can sometimes "uncomplete" the p-completed
classifying space of a finite group, to obtain the original (non-completed)
classifying space, and hence the original finite group. This "uncompletion"
process is closely related to well-known local-to-global questions in group
theory, such as the classification of finite simple groups. The approach goes
via the theory of p-local finite groups. This talk is a report on joint work
with Bob Oliver.
