Hi Jack, I just love the clear, positive and practical way that you allude to the shadow, the informal power structure, outmoded practices and the potential for evolution. I will share these on the Provocative Questions list in my upcoming Methods for Strategic Collaboration workshop. Thanks so much for sharing!

Here are some of the questions we typically asks clients/sponsors to get them excited about a possible OS event/process: Do you want to hear in a single space what people are thinking, feeling, talking and not talking about in other spaces? Do you want to give decision influencers and makers on this topic an opportunity to understand the honest complexities and subtleties of the topic? Do you want to give people the opportunity to connect together on new ideas and alternatives to existing practices? Do you want to help the community get to new levels of conversation beyond where they are today? Be well, Jack -- Jack Ricchiuto Leadership coach, facilitator, author Just Released!
