A deep thank to Lisa for dreaming out loud. I love your suggestions for organizations. I esp. like your idea of regular open space gatherings that are not always tied to action agendas. I believe an organization build the capacity of its people by creating opportunities for co-workers to simply

This weekend I was at a Moscow conference of trainers and consultants. There was a "demonstration" OST in the middle of it, to show how OST works. And curiously it worked pretty ok despite some of my concern that by announcing the topic only at the opening of the event it might flop... After the
