OK - got a clue. I did make a presentation at a regional gathering of the ODN in the early 80's. Actually David Belle Isle and I did it jointly. The title of our presentation was "Myth and Ritual as the Ground for Organization Transformation." There never really was a paper, just some notes, and we just talked. I vaguely recall the last remarks - which I made - "I don't know what Organization Transformation is, but I suspect that it may be the successor to Organization Development, appropriate to life in a transforming world." Or something.

Hey folks, an ongoing effort of many people on this list and of the Open Space Institute U.S. has been to fix up the Wikipedia page. http://wikipedia.org/Open_Space_Technology. It has had some of the ugly warnings at the beginning removed, but there are still issues. The opening of the current version of the wikipedia article cites a paper Harrison Owen wrote at "a traditional management conference". What was this paper and is it available anywhere? When was it published? What was the traditional management conference where it was published? Thanks!
