Thanks Brendan for sharing
This got me inspired to briefly share from an OS-meeting I facilitated a
couple of weeks ago. The 7 major public organizations in a region of Sweden
have decided to explore if they can create a "qualified training in
projectmanagement" with special focus on intra-organiza
Thanks for the prompt Harrison - I've just had an experience that
confirms the paradox...
On the first half of this week, I was facilitating an Open Space

Question--Not exactly Open Space, but it is open space. If it is not an

Christine and all,
Good point. Care is always a good thing. Around my house, for a while,
using the term ³open space² meant you had to be careful and precise. To me
it was, of course, what all of us on this list do, and for my wife, Joyce,
it referred to the land parcels she was busy preserving

Brendan -- this is marvelous! I have found, without exception, that the most
difficult group to work with when it comes to an OS Training program is the
"professionals." This is particularly true if the whole group is made up of
such professionals. A mixed group (including some regular folks) is

Dear all,
I would add another question
Why does the space get closed at all in the first place? In opening the
space - it seems to me that symptoms are being dealt with (and that's fine once
the symptoms are already there), but what is the cause of those symptoms? Or
