Dear Gerard, I have facilitated OS with one of the departments within the Singapore Police Force. In the pre-meeting with the sponsors (senior officers) I had to explain the process clearly twice and assured them that it will work and asked them to just let it flow. They agreed but with the condition that there be a back up plan 'B' . That plan was to use traditional pre-determined groups for brainstorming.
When the actual day came, there was no need for plan 'B' to be activated. The divergence and convergence worked beyond what the sponsors expected. They were extremely satisfied with the outcome. They agreed that the output from the OS was far more superior in quality and quantity than what would have been generated by the traditional pre-determined groups for brainstorming. They were not in uniforms and we held the one day event at an off-site location.
