Great thread everyone! So - from all your comments - I am wondering... Is it advisable to sell 'trusting the process of the people' more than the process of OST - if we are 'selling' anything?

Hi all- I did Open Space with a utility in St. Louis this week. I definitely can attest that what was required and what happened had to do with trusting the people. We had field and call center and managers and supervisors in the 100+ people there. All could justifiably pointed fingers. I trusted them to move beyond that to what really bonds them- a desire to serve their customers well. It is the people part that makes the work a joy. I wouldn't work this hard for a 'system'. But I'd stand up to the oncoming tank for the sake of the people.
