Dear mmp and Lisa (and Lena) and everybody else, Thanks, Michael, for challenging me to think if what I am doing is controlling. I hear you call it a desire for control. I think I see things differently from Lena on this score. I know what she means by everything but action planning happening during the time when action planning is meant to happen. What I have witnessed, though, or I think I have witnessed is that the very process that needs to happen happens. I may have my idea of when action planning is supposed to take place, but I remember "Whatever happens happens." Yes, it is hard to let go. After a follow-up meeting with an organization with which I did an OS strategic planning 1.5 days, change definitely happened.
Something took place. Something powerful and deep. And curiously, many of the people I describe OS to here say they already use OS principles in life, in work. They grok to it straight off the bat. Lisa, say hi to Lena again for me! I delight in being part of this community, just need to accessking my way to Goa... let's ring them bells and open some space!
