Michael, How can you say "I very much doubt that we share the same values and principles" based on our short exchanges? I won't go further in this semantic debate.
Sorry, Jean-Pierre -----Message d'origine----- De : Michael M Pannwitz [mailto:[email protected]] Envoyé : 7 décembre 2005 14:59 À : [email protected] Objet : Re: what's in a word? Dear Jean-Pierre, I wish this string would continue in the listserve. Of course, each of us has his own style, fashion, likes, peculiarities, approaches...but I very much doubt that we share the same values and principles. For me that is also not the important question in the context of my work as a "whatever one might call it". In that context, I would not speak of "initiating" an Open Space event. Its the sponsor who does that. I am the fellow that introduces the Open Space Technology and tries to follow the dictum of "holding time and space". The space needs no initiating by me, it is already there. So, my style or approach is determined by my understanding of my role and I assume that everyones style or approach reflects the understanding of that persons role. And the role is in turn determined by my understanding of the forces of selforganisation that might be especially visible in the course of an open space event although they are active regardless of the event. My quest is not for the one best word, I am interested in stories about how I and others navigate in this business of accompanying open space events.
