Hallo Michael, As a new member on the OSLIST I have been following your conversations of the last week with great interest. My collegue Peter Strobosch and I are finishing an English version of our website on Large Scale Interventions (currently in Dutch. We developed a training for practioners in organising and facilitating change processes based on the principles of LSI. The training is modelled as a kind of Search Conference around the question "what can LSI add to my practice". Open Space Technology takes an important place in it. In december 2005 we start with a training in Dutch, in the SoL Academy for (potential)members of the Society for Organisational Learning in the Netherlands. We hope to offer international courses next year.
The website www.largescaleinterventions.com links to lot of sources. We would like to add a link to your website and to your guide doc to invitation writing, if you agree with it. Please let me know.
