Chris has banished Space Invaders! At least from his vocabulary. And Lisa has offered some more than useful reflections on the subject. However, as the originator of the term, at least in the realm of Open Space, I might take some exception. Not because I am wedded to the words, but because I am

It was a marvelous OSonOS, to be sure. Much learning and connection. I was somewhat of a "space invader" at Lisa's session. I arrived late, got to get, respond to and pass on a question. I then remembered I had a report to write and left. I have some difficulty of the term "malignant space i

I see "law of two feet" as a very effective protection tool against space invaders. When the space is invaded ( if participants feel like that); it's a good opportunity for them to remember the law and to use it...if they don't realize the law, it's their destiny. This is what Harrison
