Re: Example of self-organizing system

Thanks Jennifer, What a great example. IWhat I took from the article was that the HOV lane was already in place, to stimulate the self-organisation. So in other aspects of life and society are there things we can put in place that stimulate self-organisation. The flip-side is whether 'slugging'

Re: Example of self-organizing system

Slugs selforganize, I love it. When in LA decades ago, one of the absurd things that happened around HOV on the local freeways was placing a life-size dummy on the back seat. In Berlin, I have seen self-organisation not driven by money or time saved in traffic context during local public transport

Re: Example of self-organizing system

Love your question, Rory! SO, of course, I think, happens in a manner not fathomable. Considering the pre-conditions for SO (chaos, diversity, urgency, complexity etc.) "incentives" are not part of that scenario or maybe they are incentives... What was the incentive of the perhaps "chaotic" interv

Re: Example of self-organizing system

I liked this is well. What also struck me is that I think this also is an illustration of the impact of someone wanting to take control of an Open Space session: "On July 1, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission changed the toll structure in a way that dramatically disrupted the local slug

Re: Open Space in a Highly Diverse/multiple language community

Hi Susan, I haven't seen any responses to your query about working with multiple languages. It is a subject that's come up before so some insights are in the archives. For example, there's a thread from 4/27/07 called: Mutli-Lingual and non-primary Language Open space. Another message from L

Re: Example of self-organizing system

Hi, Jennifer -- Not too long ago, I worked in Rosslyn and kept seeing those people lined up.  I kept wondering what they were doing there but never saw anyone stop to call out "Horner Road" or any other road for that matter.  Now, I don't need to wonder anymore!  What a marvelous example.  Thanks

Re: Example of self-organizing system

I agree.  I went through there the other day and the round-trip was ten bucks.  I hear it's going up again so there may be a lot more self-organizing systems of this nature.  Or else everyone will take the Metro after it gets out there.  However, that's about eight bucks per day round trip.  Maybe

Re: Opening Space in Africa

Hello, Cleo - Yes, as you have learned in our several responses - there are a number of us on OSLIST and some who are not on OSLIST who have opened space in Africa. My own experience in African is in Zambia, South Africa and in Mozambique, so far. And there are others who reside in Africa who do

If you are wondering about hosting a future WOSonOS

Hello, dear colleagues - Michael brought up a lovely reminder - the World Open Space on Open Space is this October in Chile. The 2012 World Open Space on Open Space is in London. It is very helpful to hear of a bit more than a year advance of where a future WOSonOS will be - so we can save our p
