Dear Jean-Francois,
yes, experiencing open space in an OST setting is the best way to get
into this experiment which will be lifelong, I guarantee.
In fact, some folks know that open space and the approach can not be
learned or taught but it can be remembered. In other words, we already
know about it. But all kind of circumstances have led to it being
burried deep down.
In so called open space "Trainings" where 97% of the time everything is
entirely selforganizing, lasting 3 to 5 days (I love the 5 day variety)
where the trainers are mostly invisible, its been observed, that
participants could no longer do without open space.
So, Bilbao is also a variety of "training" with the opportunity to take
a deep dive and upon surfacing you will breathe something that you never
experienced before.
For me, it was life changing. And that at the age of 56 with 3 decades
of all kinds of OD behing me and pretty sure that I knew everything. It
was tough work to drop my old habits and in a way it still is. By the
way, that was in 1996 at a "training" with Harrison Owen and Romy
Shovelton in Roffey Park...
So, get on your motorcycle or start walking or hitchhiking towards
Bilbao and have a great time.

PS: Dont forget to include yourself in the Open Space World Map
https://www.openspaceworldmap.org/inclusion
and add a picture so I can see you when writing corresponding with you.
At my age I rarely leave my neighborhood, but have a grand time here...
I might leave it once more if the next WOSonOS will be in Berlin, I hear
some folks are planning that for 2023...

Hello All,
I have been on this list and be interested in OST for many years. Yet
I have never (until now) taken the opportunity to develop this
interest further and actually participate and be involved with OST events.
I am currently in a professional transition from being a manager in a
large engineering firm to becoming self employed project manager with
a view to help build collective intelligence in organisations through
innovative organisational structures (e.g. holacracy) and various
practices such as OST.
I would like to learn and experience more and I have been told before
that the best and only way to learn about OST is to experience it
first hand. That makes a lot of sense and I think that this would be a
great eye opener for me as well as a growing opportunity. Therefore I
am contemplating participating in the next OSonOS in Bilbao (I live in
the south of France) but I want to make sure that this is appropriate
for someone who want to get initiated in OST.
Thanks in advance for your comments and / or advice.
Regads,
Jean-François (JF)

Dear Gentza Eleder,
you might tell them that ost is an approach to expand time and
space for the unfolding of selforganisation. It is not an
intention of ost to change business culture, have better meetings
or all the other things one might find important.
It has been noticed however, that ost events bring about amazing
stuff every time those gatherings are convened and that folks find
that these were the best meetings they ever experienced. How that
happens has never been grasped. And participants are regularily
simply not interested to research this, they just want to get
going. The important observation is that it works. And if it is
used regularily in an organisation those organisations change all
by themselves (see the decade long experiment in the Agency for
Youth in Europe).
Selforganisation has never been grasped but it is the central
force in the unfolding of everything that has happened on this
planet for billions of year.
It has been observed that some very few prerequisites need to be
in place to get the the right conditions for getting this
experiment in selforganisation to unfold: sticky problem, high
complexity of the matter, large diversity of participants, high
conflict and high urgency to act and, not to forget, voluntarty
participation.
Everyone attending our event in Bilbao is an expert, even experts
in attendance that are zoologists, psychologists, anthropologists,
medicine men, sociologists, cooks, gardeners, plumbers,
architects, teachers, mothers and very important: children. If you
have children and youngsters at the event among all the others you
will find that an amazing ingredient for the diversity soup.
Nobody knows why and it needs not to be researched, we have seen it.
Hope you get a great film that is shown in all cinemas around the
world.
Greetings from Berlin
Love and Peace

Hi friends, how are you?
We are having since July some converations with GoodHabitz
Documentaries
<https://www.goodhabitz.com/en-gb/why-goodhabitz/doing-things-differently/goodhabitz-moments/>.
They are very interested in OST and are planning to come to
Bilbao to film and make some interviews during the 28th World
Open Space on Open Space.
Now, they asked something that I thought would be best to spread
through the OSLIST, as follows:
....

/
/For the film we are still looking for anybody who is a
psychologist/anthropologist/sociologist or business culture
expert.Or someone with a lot of knowledge in this field. We
would like to interview such an expert about how you can
change the business culture or the approach in order to have
better meetings.
/
/....
/
/
/
/Do you know if there are more experts who are attending the
event?
/
Would you, please, specially if planning to join as in Bilbao in
September, take some time to answer Marije (you can add us, as cc)?
I've proposed her to join herself the OSLIST to take part
directly in the conversation or open new questions.
Best of all,

Hi Gentza, good morning!
How are you? Thanks for your email. Great answers!
I forgot to ask, have you been filmed before? And is it online?
Just to get an idea :)
