Dear friends and collegues,
There is a clear trend here in Svenmark to reduce the number of
government units:
- fewer municipalities;
- merging provinces into regions, and so on.
This means an enormous number of mergers: on the administrative level,
but also all institutions have
to merge: universities, schools, the police force, hospitals,
libraries, and so on and so forth.
In all likelyhood, it also means a very large number of people who will
face a period with much uncertainty,
and quality of public service will probably drop as well, at least for
a period. Or will we help opening space ?
How do we create a new organisation with the advantages of a larger one
...........
and without its disadvantages ?
How do we cooperate to create the best library system (police force,
..... , ......) in the country ?
and so on
Plenty of good questions and opportunities for opening space.
How can we leverage our individual networks to open more space in this
area ?
An interesting topic to discuss during the 6th Scandinavian OSonOS ?
It all depends on you .......
Come and join us, many greetings from Svenmark,
Gerard Muller

Gerard,
Thank you for the list of polarities!
A delightful reminder that the longer I can stay at the heart of a
paradox,
the closer I am to the heart of life.
Enjoying the Scandinavian waves from afar,

Dear friends and collegues,
Making the invitation for the 6th Scandinavian OSonOS I had a look at
the first.
Some things we put in there I thought might be interesting to see.
Here they come, written as polarities for inrpiration:
Proper convergence means a two day session .........
Convergence always happens
Open Space is one of our important tools
Open Space is not a tool !
Most clients are not ready for Open Space
Are we ready for all clients ?
Open Space provides a window of opportunity...........
which the client can close..
Open Space adds enormous value........
In what currency ?
Potential customers are always inspired when they hear about OS
Most leaders hesitate before using OS
OS always works
OS works under certain conditions.
They still seem relevant, don't they ? So who knows one or more will
figure on the agenda wall.
Or anything else of course you might think of.............
Come and join us in Svenmark !

6th Scandinavian OSonOS coming June !!
Dear friends and collegues,
The Open Space Institutes of Denmark and Sweden invite all OS
facilitators in the Nordic countries (and all others who would happend
to be around and feel like coming) to join us at the 6th Scandinavian
Open Space on Open Space taking place on Friday 16th and Saturday 17th
of June in Denmark.
It will provide a great opportunity for us all to exchange experiences
with and explore aspects of Open Space.
The event will take place in Tune (20 minutes from Copenhagen) in a
wonderful conference centre which we’ve managed to get at a reasonable
price, as a result of which the cost per participant for two days
including room, stay, all meals and all facilities we need is only
Dkr. 1400 inclusive of VAT (1750 inclusive). In euro’s that is 188 and
235 respectively.
If you are interested and have not received an E-mail yet directly,
please contact Gerard at g...@openspace.dk or Thomas at
tho...@openspaceconsulting.com for a more detailed invitation.
Greetings from Gerard (OSI Denmark) and Thomas (OSI Sweden)
