Dear friends and colleagues in Open Space,
During the past thirty three years of working with OST, my long held
passion is the use of OST within organizations so that every OST meeting in
the organization is a catalyst for what's next. If you have interest in
developing your OST work beyond a singular event, and into use with
regularity in an organization, an online learning opportunity
https://www.dalarinternational.com/curriculum/open-space-technology/ is
coming up in October, facilitated by myself and Rachel Bolton. Each of us
brings expertise of leading organizations that make regular use of OST
meetings as catalysts for 'What's Next' with its dance of divergence,
convergence and emergence.

I trust that just the right people will feel inspired to join us in this
learning journey. Are you one of them? Is it the right timing for you in
your life learning journey?

When I attended my first OST training with Harrison in the days that he
facilitated four day OST trainings, I was the senior leader of a
multi-service social and health service in an inner city. During this
training I started to imagine the potential of OST within an organization.
Intuitively I recognized that its use, while originally conceived as an
event, had profound potential when used regularly within an organization. I
can now look back with deep gratitude for the work I was privileged to do
with OST within organizations. I am particularly grateful for the
experiences that resulted in social impact.

Warmly,
Birgitt

Thank you Thomas. It has been a joy and privilege to know you for almost
thirty years, to receive all that you have put into this work within the
OST community, the Genuine Contact Organization and community, and in your
gifts to the world. You also have been a leader in bringing this Working
with OST module to hundreds of people. I believe you also have some
training sessions coming up so please do remind us all.

For anyone wishing to join an exploration with Rachel Bolton and I in Working
with OST
https://www.dalarinternational.com/curriculum/open-space-technology/,
dates are Oct 8,9,15,16. There is emphasis during this online workshop
about discerning the field you are creating, readiness of the sponsor, the
participants and of course yourself, engagement through the combination of
invitation, theme, and givens, construction of the design for the OST
including online OST meetings, implementation of the outcomes, and
monitoring/adjustment of longer term outcomes to get the most from both the
anticipated results and natural emergence.

Warmly,
Birgitt

Thanks Birgitt.
Yes for sure there are upcoming trainings.
In January in Sweden/Swedish. And we are currently looking for dates for another OST training in the Netherlands too, in English. One will for sure happen in Sept-26.

Ämne: [OSList] for anyone interested in working with OST as a catalyst for what's next in an organization...an online workshop is coming up

Dear friends and colleagues in Open Space,

During the past thirty three years of working with OST, my long held passion is the use of OST within organizations so that every OST meeting in the organization is a catalyst for what's next. If you have interest in developing your OST work beyond a singular event, and into use with regularity in an organization, an online learning opportunityhttps://www.dalarinternational.com/curriculum/open-space-technology/ is coming up in October, facilitated by myself and Rachel Bolton. Each of us brings expertise of leading organizations that make regular use of OST meetings as catalysts for 'What's Next' with its dance of divergence, convergence and emergence.

I trust that just the right people will feel inspired to join us in this learning journey. Are you one of them? Is it the right timing for you in your life learning journey?

When I attended my first OST training with Harrison in the days that he facilitated four day OST trainings, I was the senior leader of a multi-service social and health service in an inner city. During this training I started to imagine the potential of OST within an organization. Intuitively I recognized that its use, while originally conceived as an event, had profound potential when used regularly within an organization. I can now look back with deep gratitude for the work I was privileged to do with OST within organizations. I am particularly grateful for the experiences that resulted in social impact.

Warmly,

Birgitt

Thanks Birgitt. Yes for sure there are upcoming trainings. In January in Sweden/Swedish. And we are currently looking for dates for another OST training in the Netherlands too, in English. One will for sure happen in Sept-26.

It has been a joy and privilege to know you for almost thirty years, to receive all that you have put into this work within the OST community, the Genuine Contact Organization and community, and in your gifts to the world. You also have been a leader in bringing this Working with OST module to hundreds of people. I believe you also have some training sessions coming up so please do remind us all. For anyone wishing to join an exploration with Rachel Bolton and I in Working with OST<https://www.dalarinternational.com/curriculum/open-space-technology/>, dates are Oct 8,9,15,16. There is emphasis during this online workshop about discerning the field you are creating, readiness of the sponsor, the participants and of course yourself, engagement through the combination of invitation, theme, and givens, construction of the design for the OST including online OST meetings, implementation of the outcomes, and monitoring/adjustment of longer term outcomes to get the most from both the anticipated results and natural emergence.
