Greetings, I have just joined the on-line conversations on Open Space and would like to introduce myself.
I am an internal organization development consultant with the Boeing Company in Seattle (where I've been since 1989) and have used OS on many occasions to convene communities of people that wish to come together to explore what has 'passion and meaning' for them in achieving their business goals. I believe that much of the work of someone like myself is to help systems and communities of people come together to: 1) acknowledge that they are a system or community, 2) discover what common task they are being asked to step up to in service of others, 3) provide the space in which they can 'self-organize' and choose how they wish to respond to the 'calling'. My understanding of (natural) systems comes from a background in organic farming and my appreciation and passion for how people work together comes from 14 years of living and breathing community at the Findhorn Foundation (a spiritually-based intentional community in northern Scotland). I'm looking forward to exploring new possibilities of OS with you.
