Examples from Corporate sector -financial services ideally
thanks everyone for the replies.
I would love for people here who have been to or facilitated OST sponsored
by a financial institution to share stories here.
I visited an Unconference events themed with financing of startup
initiatives, sponsored by one of the largers banks in Iceland a decade ago,
here is a post from one of the participants:
I guess Unconference is a name often used when conducting OST when the
facilitator wants to be more of a traditional facilitator rather than
taking all of the structure of OST to heart.
Hi Mara –
Some things are better felt than tell’t. Instead of telling people that OST works, how about inviting them into a lightweight experience that addresses a current issue?
For example:
A few years ago when delivering 2-day Agile training sessions inside a financial institution I was looking for a way to provide an open space (little ‘o’ and little ‘s’) experience for the participants so I told their leadership that the final 90 minutes would be a forum for the participants to explore topics from the class that they find most interesting with others who shared those interests. Leadership was invited to observe what happened, especially in the 15-20 minute closing circle. Seeing was believing. They were amazed. At the end of the closing I mentioned that everyone present had just experienced an approach called Open Space Technology that can be (and has been) used to address all kinds of organizational challenges.
OST sells itself.

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.
Onward,
Diana

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
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

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.

So many cool stories!
Here's mine: Once upon a time, we open spaced for six consecutive weeks as a way to transfer a big important software product from a legacy team to a new team. I shared the story at the Scrum Gathering in Barcelona in 2012, with some notes here https://kasperowski.com/radical-innovation-the-six-week-open-space-experiment/. It was awesomely awesome.

Ciao Mara, nice to meet you here.
I have done a couple of Open Space for Financial Institutions here in Italy.
One was for a leading Italian banking group, another one for an insurance
company - with 500 attendees during their annual company meeting.
Stated that I do agree with others, experiencing open space is the best way
to help the client to understand what does really mean to open their space
All the best

I remember many discussion groups at various ononos events where a young
new face had ambition and wanted to explore if this field can work as the
sole foundation for their professional life. But the stories of success in
that regard is from people who already have a good professional network in
place in one or another field and promoted themselves to management
consultancy in that field where they had an opportunity to bring the
wonders and promises of Open Space Thecnology to their industry and
sometimes also provide the same service to other industries through the
general management connection. I have not conducted any research into the
professional development of Open Space Thecnology Hoasts, Coaches and
Facilitators, these are antidotal at best.
I am looking now for stories on how Open Space Thecnology as engagement for
a junior individual has value for their professional life. This is my topic
invitation in this thread. I would also love to engage in a conversation on
this topic from different angles.

Open Space Thecnology as a carrier?
Advise and experience
... This is how I would have written it on a paper in an opening circle
I think it clarifies what I am meaning with this theme
