...even though he might never have heard of OST, this is how Ricardo Semler does his outfit in Brazil as reported on in his books "Maverick" and "The Seven-Day Weekend" (I see these books in English and Italian and Spanish on Amazon) ...and as done by Hans-Georg Wicke who has extensively worked with OST for 13 years in his outfit in Germany, as reported in an article that has appeared in an ebook (this book contains the report in three languages, German, English and Polish...a second addition with more languages added - French, Spanisch, Chinese - is in the making...available here directly at the publisher

As far as documentation is concerned in OST events in sequence, I would generally also suggest to start "clean"... but most important, I think, I would have the sponsor/client and his Planning Group mull over this and think up something that best fits their purpose... On a more broader level, I think documentation of the breakout sessions is highly overrated... If the sponsor/client is interested in action planning and action itself that is initiated and pushed by the conveners of action (as described in your mail) documentation might be more important... it does require a three day event with a really diverse group (in a hospital this would include the patients, among others) to come up with robust, sustainable etc. action.. But again, let the folks running their enterprise decide... I get the impression I and some others in this trade, concern ourselves far too much with matters which are the sponsor's/client's business. In the first order I am not an OD consultant or consultant of whatever color (I am good at that and it gets into my way all the time) but a sort of midman standing back, letting the forces of selforganisation do their stuff.

Greetings from Berlin where I am spending increasing chunks of my days in minding the blackberries in our garden

I have also done 2 open spaces (both 3 day, one afther another), for a
multinational assosiation of youth organizations. We tryed to i plememt
some notion on building on the work from the other groups. To day I
would not choose to do it that way, I think that I should rather put my
trust in the passion of the people that are present, and start clean
with the purpuse of the space. Then we can put it all in one document
and invite people to form formal planing and action groups with support
from management ( like to use the meeting rooms and take time from other
work within limits ). One of my clients likes to think about the
aftherwork as projects, and then give these projects funing to rent the
them selfes from the departments management, then it is up to the team
to sell there idea and get the funding wherever, whenever.
