[OSList] How to assess the effectiveness of an OS Meeting.

Dear OS practitioners As some of you already know I have been trying to pioneer the use of OS in our agenda driven, action outcome orientated organisation. I have had the opportunity to run several meetings, but they have been short sessions and restricted participants (in terms of organisational

Re: [OSList] How to assess the effectiveness of an OS Meeting.

Dear Keith, generally, explaining os or the effect of os in organisations of any kind is fraud with frustration. What does work a little better, is to give a client the phone number of another client, especially when it is in his field, who has been a victim of the os process... I have tried th

Keith - Been there a time or two. I believe the request (for assessment/evaluation) is not only understandable but quite legitimate and can lead to some very interesting deeper discussions.

Re: [OSList] How to assess the effectiveness of an OS Meeting.

Keith-- How does one assess the value of a top-down "You shall all do this" meeting? When do you measure it? How many walking out the door thought it the best meeting ever? How many are still doing the required or "volunteered" activity 6 months or 6 years later? What is the purpose of the me
