Hey Chris, Thanks so much for your response! It's very helpful to hear your experience, and it's awesome how the partnership you mentioned is still active!
If you don't mind, I have a few follow-up questions for you: - What were the themes for the OSs with Carbarundum and the non-profit partnership? It seems the groups covered a lot of ground! - I am an internal consultant, and our organization has multiple sites. I love that you facilitated an OS across sites! What do you recommend for executing an OS when there are multiple sites? Thank you so much Chris! Also, if anyone else on the list wants to share recommendations for executing OS cross-site, please do! All the best, Jake ________________ When the mind is quiet, the sun of your heart will shine once again, and you will be free of problems. - Robert Adams <http://www.robert-adams.info/> On Sun, Aug 11, 2019 at 10:46 PM Chris Kloth <chris.kl...@got2change.com> wrote: > Ralph Copleman, Barbara Bunker, and I used OST with a division of > Carbarundum that had just been sold.
