Dear Bo Last year I facilitated a OST process (in Sweden) with the purpose of getting going with a new institute for health informatics, where multiple interestgroups participated.
We had a pre-planning meeting, one full day of ost, followed by half day for actionplanning (2 weeks later), + follow up meeting. In the process both scientists, doctors, people from farmaceutical companies, etc participated. And of course it worked well. My sponsor who is a director of one of the main hospitals in Sweden has used OST at other occasions too, even had training with Birgitt Williams back in 2000. Let me know if you want more info, and I could also check if I may give you the contact info from my sponsor - if that would be helpful.

I'm looking for examples in which OS has been used by scientists as part of the work of doing science (not examples in which scientists have examined OS). The reason I want this is to demonstrate the utility to the scientists who will choose OS as a method for this conference, and to the scientists who will determine to fund this conference (or not) and to the scientists who will be invited to attend. All of them are likely to be more persuaded of the utility of OS if they see examples in which their peers have successfully used OS, than by examples in social justice, conflict, human development, etc. Best, Bo * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
