Harrison - Thanks it's interesting to know that the first open space beyond the annual event was a commercial innovation area
I have digested pre-work is generally a waste of space. Presumably the invitation is another topic. I have had the impression that sometimes you have done quite a lot of work on a white paper (or whatever) so as to stir up invitations and connections across potentially a broad range of perspectives so that the space welcomes the right (diversity of) people? chris From: OSLIST [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Harrison Owen Sent: 12 April 2005 11:08 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: question on open space origins The first time I used Open Space, other than with the International Symposium on Organization Transformation was with Dupont. It involved some 175 polymer chemists on the re-design of a major product line. That was in the summer of 1989. As for pre-work with Open Space, I have never found anything that usefully added much. * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
