Jaime, many years ago, I did an Open Space sponsored by the Mesa Police Department on crafting a community-wide strategy for combating elder abuse. Working with a citizen's design team, there were several smaller events that employed Appreciative Inquiry which then led up to a day of OST. I was especially touched by the outpouring of elders who held their own alongside the politicians and city officials. Good luck on your proposal.

_____ From: OSLIST [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jaime Pedreros Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 6:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: OST with Armed Forces Hello dear colleagues, I am wondering if someone in the list have had an experience with the Armed Forces or similar vertical/authoritative institution. I am about to submit a proposal to the Insurance Cooperative of the Bolivian National Police. One of the main troubles with the working team is that they are treated as "soldiers" by their bosses. This situation is reproduced vis-a-vis the cooperative members and the people that visit the institution.Do you think OS could be useful? Have my anticipated thanks and warm regards Jaime * * ========================================================== [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 * * ========================================================== [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
