Doug, not sure if this helps: >From an email sent to a coworker just now:
I'm doing a strategy session this afternoon for a group who have developed something magical but don't know how to quantify or replicate it - a very prescient project manager is paying my time to "play" with his team for a couple hours to see if we can tease out some strands of the magic. It's a bit like astrophotography - there's nothing there visible to the eye, but if you leave the camera lens open for a couple hours, sometimes really neat stuff pops out. -----Original Message----- From: OSLIST [mailto:osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu] On Behalf Of Joelle Lyons Everett Sent: October 22, 2004 3:32 PM To: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Subject: Re: Metaphors for the magic? Doug-- I also cringe a bit when people ask if OS is a networking event. I'm likely to say something like, "It's better than a usual networking event, because people connect around something they both care about. I find I am much more likely to keep in touch with someone I met in Open Space." No good metaphors this morning, but I like the idea of finding ways to better communicate the essence of OST.
