Artur, some of the thinking that is in my mind. It may not be connected at all, but I do observe that the great number of Open Space events in this country, and perhaps elsewhere, occur in the services industry sector of the community. Very few Open Space events seem to happen in business and strictly-for-profit or manufacturing organisations, I suspect. That may or may not impinge on the aspects of metanoia that you are working with in terms of where such changes can and do occur.
Thank you very much for your comments, dear Brian. Indeed, when I came to the conclusion that for an ordinary organization to become a leaning organization a profound paradigm shift or metanoia would be needed I was mainly thinking about companies and organizations of the public sector (like universities - mainly public in continental Europe - or services of the central administration). I was not thinking at all in NGO's or social service organizations. Thank you for calling my attention for the differences between those sectors.
