Dear Diane,
no doubt, different approaches with different unique characteristics
do exist.
And I assume that co-existance of different approaches with different
unique characteristics might be fun and productive.
My experience with very large complex systems (such as an entire
inner city neighborhood in Berlin) is that they can benefit from
different approaches.
A future search that took place after a year long planning process
produced a variety of projects people were heavily involved in...
including close cooperation between diverse groups/interests.
Against this background, an OST event that needed just one 3.5 hour
Planning Session took place a few months after the Future Search
having the characteristics of a "next meeting".
And, as you probably remember, the ost event I facilitated for a
company with a staff of 35 who work with agile worked fine as usual,
including two next meetings in the weeks following the ost event.
What I never experienced are hybrids such as an openspace-future
search, or an agile-openspace....
I did experience, however, that the yearly gatherings of future search
facilitators were conducted in open space (I was part of this in
Philadelphia, Stockholm and facilitated one on the Island of Jersey).
The future search folks had developed impressive approaches in the
aspect of "getting the whole system in the roome". Which meant, that
the participants of those Learning Exchanges were not only
facilitators but also clients (companies, government agencies,
foundations and what have you), researchers, authors...
Something we never achieved to any significant extent in our WOSonOS
gatherings or the OS Learning Exchanges in Europe.
How about our next WOSonOS in Berlin in 12 months?
Would be an opportunity of having more divergence and more of the
whole system in the room... imagine every one of us attending would
bring along one client or other different critters...
Wishing us all a weekend of our liking
