Funda -- Interesting question and my answer now is the same as it was in Goa -- Most organizations would rather not talk about it for a simple reason. If what happened in Open Space actually happened much of what they are doing under the heading of management, training, organizational development is questionable and maybe worse. For example, Boeing Aircraft was the site for some 450 OSTs that I know of -- but when I had occasion to visit the OD office, they never heard about OST. Seems that the people who facilitated the OS's were all managers moving major projects and no help needed. OST could be very hazardous to the job health of a lot of people. Best not to spread it around. Truthfully nobody has a clue about how many OS's have been done. Wild guess might be a million and in some surprising places. For example, my daughter who ran a multi national, multi million dollar program in Thailand hired a consultant to put together a three day show and tell conference-- the last day was in Open Space. When it was all over the consultant approached my daughter to find out her reaction, particularly to the Open Space. As they were talking his eyes went down to her name tag and he noticed that her name was Owen. Embarrassed, he asked, "Are you...?" My daughter said "Yes, he's my father."
