Dear colleagues, I convened one group in the "post conference" and participated in one on the first day. Both groups were intense and productive, there was a time at the start where everyone expressed why they had come to the group, participants listened, asked questions and the progress of the discussion was visualized, results were documented. Most important to me were the insights and different approaches and the deep transcultural dialogue and empathetic attitude which greatly assisted the development of the issue at hand leading to some considerable changes in the training design I am involved in. So thats my own experience. Had the conditions not been the way I experienced them, and I almost always have similar experiences in settings I choose to be in, I would have intervened in any of the various ways I have experienced as conducive to productive meetings or obeyed The Law. So here is my puzzlement: Why would anyone in open space or in any other setting tolerate group work that is not productive, creative, joyous, upbeat, playful, deep? See you all in Vancouver next August greetings from Berlin michael
