Good afternoon everyone from sunny Florida! My name is Jordan Wareham and like Raynel, I am a doctoral student in the Bowling Green State University program in Organizational Development & Change.
My background has been in commercial aviation. I have been an airline pilot, pilot instructor & examiner, and now have spent the last 4 years in management with major airlines, currently service as the Director of Safety for an airline based in Florida. I really see tremendous applicability for OpenSpace inside the airline industry and I’m looking forward to learning from everyone here. One question is around some of the mechanics. When it is decided to invoke an Open Space discussion, I’m gathering it’s around a central issue. The discussion of that issue is what generates the areas that people feel passionate about (hope i have it right so far). My understanding is then that individuals will take responsibility for championing certain issues and everyone will break into working groups…but what happens then? Is it the expectation that the working groups will effectively ideate and solve the issue and develop action plans? I’m just curious how this translates from ideation stage to action items. Also, wondering if there is someone who might be willing to serve as a “method master” for our group to interview and learn from. As part of this semester’s class, we are needing to identify individual(s) who can mentor our group through an interview process and provide support for questions. I don’t believe it would be much time commitment and we would really appreciate learning from someone who has been actively applying Open Space in their practice. Thank you! Jordan
