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
https://openspaceworldscape.org/events/1074-how-do-we-create-a-better-future-the-issues-and-opportunities
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.
