I worked for 20+ years as an employee in such am environment, lesende about OS only later. Now I‘m joining as a Coach Ebers now and then and could certainly contribute to share some ideas, as well. PM me, please, if you’d like to have a conversation about it.

Mara the list is much too long to provide. You might take a look at the USWEST (Now Quest) on Vimeo  or NYT article about the shoe people, or check out Tales from Open Space (a book) on www.openspaceworld. com. All this stuff is at least 20 years old which should suggest that OS in the corporate environment is hardly news. ho -----Original Message----- From: Mara Svenne via OSList <everyone@oslist.org> To: everyone@oslist.org Sent: Wed, Apr 5, 2023 4:33 pm Subject: [OSList] Examples from Corporate sector -financial services ideally I’m trying to get Open Space to become a regular practice at a financial services organization.

Hi Audrey, Thanks! I’m new to this list.. so I hope this email goes only to you. Can you tell me what Bank, and what kind of outcomes happened from the open space event(s) hosted there? I’m trying to convince leadership that it’s ‘not a waste of time’ to get people to stop working for the day, to attend an open space. I’m and Agile Coach, within the organization - OST fits very well; but our organization is still rather old school as a culture and we need to ‘justify’ everything we do that is ‘new’ to them. If I can list a few examples in a corporate environment about tangible benefits - that would help. Thanks! Mara

Your message went to all, Mara, which is great. If you’re doing agile then you can tell your people that OS is not new. See my writing on this at michaelherman.com. Glad to talk if it’s helpful.

well - it doesn’t seem to let me do anything else but ‘reply all’. I’m just trying to find a few: ‘also used by’.. company names to add to credibility. I know how to facilitate OST.. just need the ‘credibility tick box’ by telling the people at my firm that this is NOT NEW and therefore not SCARY. Most of the examples I found on the OST site were from the health sector, or indigenous or community groups - peace summits…. I need something that corporate leader types will relate to and see: ‘oh yeah - we want that too, ‘cause the other guys have done it too.’ I’ll contact you, Michael.

Dear Mara, I doubt that there is a way to add to credibility other than experiencing an OST gathering. If you want to show your people that it is not new (but certainly scary), tell them about the frequent and worldwide use of OST by the World Bank. Here you can see an example > https://openspaceworldscape.org/events/1074-how-do-we-create-a-better-future-the-issues-and-opportunities back in 2006, facilitated by Nigel Seys-Phillips. HO already pointed you to Tales from Open Space. I just looked at it. On page 97 Giles and Robbins Hopkins described "Lessons from Open Space at the World Bank", back in 1995. This is a good read for all of us. In case your corporate leaders have a burning business issue that nobody seems to have an answer to, they are ready to try stuff that they never thought of. If there is no burning business issue, open space technology is of no use. By the way, "replying all" is an easy and effective way to get this exchange to progress. Good luck and come to Berlin in October to share your questions at the WOSonOS cheers mmp Am 06.04.2023 um 16:55 schrieb Mara Svenne via OSList: > > well - it doesn’t seem to let me do anything else but ‘reply all’.

Hi Mara, I’ve facilitated and co-facilitated OSs at a few financial institutions and have hearsay stories about others in US and abroad. My work was covered by NDAs, so I can’t/wouldn’t disclose names. Your clients can rest easy, as others have mentioned. Their instance would be far from the first instance.
