Hi Don, Faced with this, which is often, the theme "What are the issues and opportunities for the Preferred Future of...." Is my favourite and generates the best results. Some folks like to address the goals, others with loftier views like to dwell on the vision or whatever. In one case, they decided that they didn't have a future. Goes with the territory of leaving something open.

My feeling is that calling the circle together in open space will meet all these needs. But I don't know this from personal experience. What would be a theme, or focus question for an open space that might allow all those strategic plan elements to surface? Any experience in using OST for strategic planning? This is meant to be a generative question. No lectures please. Don Ferretti ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________
