Hi Mick I have successfully used OST with a number of groups of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, and I know that others have used it extensively in the Bank of Montreal - both here in Canada. On a number of occasions, I have incorporated OST as the back end of an otherwise fairly ordinary, regularly scheduled 3 day meeting [quarterly reviews, planning off-sites]. Participatns and leaders have always acknowledged that their expections were surpassed - they were surprised! Has the overall bank culture and structure changed significantly? - not much! However, in my view, every little bit of open space helps - at least in the short term - and who knows what will emerge longer term! Feel free to contact me directly if you want more details.

Her challenge is that her employer is one of Australia's largest banks and the key decision makers are said to be conservative. As such, they may not be readily open to consider OS. Unfortunately, the section she works in is underperforming and she believes that OS is the approach that will truly contribute to finding the right solutions. My friend has asked if there are any case studies where OS has been used successfully within the banking industry. Whereas I have banking clients I have no personal experience of OS in banking. All thoughts and advice gratefully accepted.
