Paul - Glad you enjoyed the Space. And the Canary Islands are one of my most favorite places on earth. As for Open Space . it is a mystery. I don't think we have figured out why it always works, but the clues are out there. Not to sell books, but if you want an updated version on my "take," check out, Wave Rider: Leadership for High Performance in a Self Organizing World (Berrett-Koehler, 2008). (Amazon will deliver digitally or hard copy).

Thanks Lisa, for such a reference, just purchased the book. After receiving your incredible piece of advice I have conducted this short OS in Canary Island and I was so impressed with what was accomplished I must get into the origin of this amazing principle of self organisation, why does it always work? Lisa, thanks so much for your help and I as you said, will be in spirit in St Petersburg... >From my iPad On 13/04/2013, at 18:41, paul levy <[email protected]> wrote: Yes indeed, Lisa - though I think it is our Now that expands us...

Some of us have learned other diverse processes that are participant-driven and nice for certain objectives and timeframes, some of us have designed short-form processes, exercises and activities and field-tested them to fine-tune them and know when they may best be appropriate. Always a rich topic for sharing. And I wouldn't say 'better', I'd say 'what different processes can we think about for possible use when given a short-time-frame opportunity.' Including Open Space, and also including additional options. And hmmm. Paul, your reflection sounds like a Harrison Owen book I once read - "Expanding Our Now" (one of my favorites, HO...)
