Re: [OSList] self-organization

Marie Ann, I loved reading your message and thoughts on Open Space and Self_Organization. A topic I love and I believe quite paradoxical to explain. I agree with all you've shared and have another view as well. Self-Organizing is like a multi-faceted diamond that can be viewed from multiple perspe

Re: [OSList] self-organization

Re: [OSList] self-organization

Of course, all of these wonderful statements about what self-organisation is, are organising statements ! Open Space Technology itself, minimal as it is, is an organising process. I do enjoy lazy philosophy. It's part of our mysterious humanity. And making statements about self-organisation is li
