2.Consultants - Aware but (block loop 1) wouldn't know how to sell lack of structure, NB opposite to what clients expect in 2 senses : a) what they do with their people normally, b) what they pay facilitators to actively facilitate 3. Aware but (block loop 2) wouldn't know how to market as a core method of my career as a facilitator - take so much time to propose with so little days work back etc I guess this isn't big news to many alumni here, but has there been a recent debate on whether there are any newly emerging ways to bust these blocks? A very small idea might be if we could come up with 9 other open methods as a top of 10 of open. Perhaps if everyone in corporations could recognise that innovation and self-organising depends on at least one open method they already know, one could cross-fertilise the whole family.
