It is fascinating that the OS and Future Search conversation is going on at
the time I was approached by a key Future Search person in Toronto to
explore mutual learning. We are likely going to organize an Open Space about
such things for both networks in TO.
I was using many of the insights
Great and useful conversation! For me the fundamental difference between
Open Space and Future Search is how hard you have to work. Several years
ago, through the kind connecting of Ralph C. -- Marv Weisbord and I (along
with Ralph and Sandra Janov) spent a day together on just the question
posed
Ralph - and all
my thoughts on OS and FS would be much the same as yours - for me the
primacy of the particular purpose and outcomes desired with the particular
client in the particular programme at the particular time, is the key
question. Only after real clarity on that can I personally begin

Karen Tiller's summary of her research was interesting to see here.
I have a couple of immediate thoughts.
First, while OS is certainly flexibly applied with respect to group size,
it would be a mistake to assume only OS can handle very large numbers.
Some future searches have involvede several h

Uwe,
I tried the Web address for your paper and got back the "can't

article or your thesis? I am planning to write this summer
about my experiences with using OS with nurses for a peer reviewed nursing
journal. Of course, they like as much "evidence based" information as
possible. Would you be willing to share your bibliography of research articles

Maybe there's a graduate thesis here somewhere.
Hello everyone: Ralph is correct about the graduate
It seems unncessary to assert the superiority of either of these two
approaches, future search or open space, over the other,.
I use both. Happily. If I and my clients are thoughtful about the choice,
then the one they eventually choose will be, I trust the one that works best.
For them. Ho

Interesting. I participate in both lists and I identify you with both of

Hi Wallace:
You mention the obvious structural differences, and of course the role of the

In terms of differences with outcomes, I offer the experience of the Bank of

Dear Wallace and anybody else to whom this may apply,

Why not simply drop whatever it is into your regular e-mail? That way

As someone fairly new to OS -- having now facilitated two -- I
would be interested in hearing how the more experienced practitioners
would talk about the differences between OS and Future Search. I have
participated in one such gathering and have read the 'manual' but have
