Oops *no doubt about the life changing potential of OSTđ

Dear Hege,
I have no doubt about the life potential power of OST. I have no doubt
about the experience and qualifications of my colleagues.
My issue is about comparing OST by the book of HO and other approaches.
Have a nice day and i am not planning to discuss this issue futher here.
This topic has been for long years on the Agenda in this community.
Best regards,

This is an valuable offer!
Thomas Herrmann and his colleagues in the Genuine Contact Program, Doris
Gottlieb and Anna Caroline Tƫrk, are among the most experienced Open Space
facilitators and trainers in the world. The workshop I attended with Thomas
in 2012 changed the way I work and how I engage with complexity. I have
benefited from this competence ever since, both as an external consultant
supporting teams and organizations, and in my leadership role within a
Norwegian municipality.
All the best for Wosonwos and the Training!

Dear Doris,
Thank you for sharing the bigger picture.
I am sure many people in this community "use" OST within multi-step
change processes or transformations they design - I certainly do.
When I started, I only wanted to ever use OST - I was 20 years old - and
I was so glad to meet the Genuine Contact Way of working, which also
started from that question - how can we lead organizations in the spirit of
Open Space Technology.
I am glad I could take other GC Modules which empowered me to work in
this spirit, with these principles, but have more tools that are allowing
me to tackle quite complex tasks ;)
Hoping to be at WOSonOS with my then 1-year old daughter and maybe even
joining Doris and Thomas in giving the training :)
much Love from Berlin

Dear Birgitt, and everyone,
I wanted to jump back into this conversation to add one more thing.
While our workshop Working with Open Space Technology is a wonderful
stand-alone experience, it is also part of the larger body of work that
makes up the Genuine Contact Way of Working
https://29f12f1c.streak-link.com/C35NCGG2dtY28BIU4Qk9-rMj/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.genuinecontact.net%2F,

Dear everyone,
Thanks so much for your message Birgitt, yes we are very excited about
giving the training after WOSonOS for the reasons tha you mentioned, and
we're lucky we can continue to use the same location, which feels very
special given how full such centers are.
Thomas, myself and Anna Caroline TĂŒrk have been giving this training
for many years now, and it is always special and learningful. Over the
years we have been lucky with many people coming from other countries to
the Netherlands, and this diversity of people and culture has always been
really enriching.
One of the things tiat I am especially excited about with this
opportunity is that people who come to the Netherlands for the WOSonOS can
also stay for the training, allowing for a rich cross cultural group.
While my experience is that Open Space Technology taps into our
transcultural humanity, having people from different cultural expeirence
and perspectives is so valuable and enriching.
I am excited to see who will join, and also super excited about the
WOSonOS gathering here so close to home.
With gratitude and appreciation.
Doris

Dear Thomas and team,
How brilliant to position a deep dive into Working With Open Space
Technology right after the WOSONOS. You are taking good care of the
learning that happens best by having the experience, really immersing in
the experience of WOSONOS and all its manifestations...and then doing a
deep dive in reflecting, thinking about, and feeling what the experience in
OST was about...and how to work with it to maximum benefit in
organizations. This is exactly what the deep dive into Working With Open
Space Technology was created for.
I also love that you are doing these brief intro sessions. There is so
much more to learn about OST, why it works, how it works, and how to make
the shift from 'wow, this was an incredible meeting' to 'the OST meetings,
used frequently, have both qualitative and quantitative results that
surpass what is expected'.

Dear Hege,
I have no doubt about the life potential power of OST. I have no doubt
about the experience and qualifications of my colleagues.
My issue is about comparing OST by the book of HO and other approaches.
Have a nice day and i am not planning to discuss this issue futher here.
This topic has been for long years on the Agenda in this community.
Best regards,
Funda

This is an valuable offer!
Thomas Herrmann and his colleagues in the Genuine Contact Program, Doris
Gottlieb and Anna Caroline Tƫrk, are among the most experienced Open Space
facilitators and trainers in the world. The workshop I attended with Thomas
in 2012 changed the way I work and how I engage with complexity. I have
benefited from this competence ever since, both as an external consultant
supporting teams and organizations, and in my leadership role within a
Norwegian municipality.
All the best for Wosonwos and the Training!

Dear Doris,
Thank you for sharing the bigger picture.
I am sure many people in this community "use" OST within multi-step change
processes or transformations they design - I certainly do.
When I started, I only wanted to ever use OST - I was 20 years old - and I
was so glad to meet the Genuine Contact Way of working, which also started
from that question - how can we lead organizations in the spirit of Open
Space Technology.
I am glad I could take other GC Modules which empowered me to work in this
spirit, with these principles, but have more tools that are allowing me to
tackle quite complex tasks ;)
Hoping to be at WOSonOS with my then 1-year old daughter and maybe even
joining Doris and Thomas in giving the training :)
much Love from Berlin

Dear everyone,
Thanks so much for your message Birgitt, yes we are very excited about
giving the training after WOSonOS for the reasons tha you mentioned, and
we're lucky we can continue to use the same location, which feels very
special given how full such centers are.
Thomas, myself and Anna Caroline TĂŒrk have been giving this training for
many years now, and it is always special and learningful. Over the years
we have been lucky with many people coming from other countries to the
Netherlands, and this diversity of people and culture has always been
really enriching.
One of the things tiat I am especially excited about with this
opportunity is that people who come to the Netherlands for the WOSonOS can
also stay for the training, allowing for a rich cross cultural group.
While my experience is that Open Space Technology taps into our
transcultural humanity, having people from different cultural expeirence
and perspectives is so valuable and enriching.
I am excited to see who will join, and also super excited about the
WOSonOS gathering here so close to home.
With gratitude and appreciation.
Doris

Dear Thomas and team,
How brilliant to position a deep dive into Working With Open Space
Technology right after the WOSONOS. You are taking good care of the
learning that happens best by having the experience, really immersing in
the experience of WOSONOS and all its manifestations...and then doing a
deep dive in reflecting, thinking about, and feeling what the experience in
OST was about...and how to work with it to maximum benefit in
organizations. This is exactly what the deep dive into Working With Open
Space Technology was created for.
I also love that you are doing these brief intro sessions. There is so
much more to learn about OST, why it works, how it works, and how to make
the shift from 'wow, this was an incredible meeting' to 'the OST meetings,
used frequently, have both qualitative and quantitative results that
surpass what is expected'.

For some, a one time conference or meeting facilitating using OST is very
satisfying. For others, there is a deep passion for making the most of
multiple OST meetings in an organization, each for their own reasons. My
primary reason was to help develop organizations that thrive. Harrison
wished me well, encouraging me to take this as far as I could...and the
Genuine Contact Way was born.
Within the Genuine Contact Way, one module is Working with Open Space
Technology. As Thomas has noted, we teach the facilitation of the OST
meeting exactly as taught by Harrison. What is different is how we do the
pre-work and post-work. For me, this way of working with OST was developed
specifically to be ready just in case leadership in an organization wanted
to figure out how to transform their organizations to be life nourishing.
OST meetings are an essential component of a life nourishing organization
that thrives. Supporting conditions and structures are needed for the
maximum benefit from each and every OST meeting.
If this is of interest to you, if your curiosity is rising, the Working
With OST training in the Netherlands right after WOSONOS is well worth
attending.
Still loving OST after almost 35 years, prepping leaders to support the OST
meetings in their organizations, and supporting leadership development to
learn how to work with the quality and quantity of what emerges from every
OST meeting.
