Ralph Copleman, Barbara Bunker, and I used OST with a division of
Carbarundum that had just been sold. It included virtually 100% of the
employees of the new organization in two geographic locations
simultaneously... one in the eastern US and one in the midwest. We had
ti use dial-up computer access and fax machines to communicate what
was going on at each location each round! By the end of the process
there was a new mission, vision, values and basic organization
structure.
I used OST as part of the process of forming a collaborative
partnership among 4 nonprofit organizations providing early childhood
care and education to very different types of children, resulting in a
mission, vision, and values, as well as articulating a plan for the
first two years of their partnership. That partnership is now almost
25 years old. It's members have internalized the principles of OST.

Quoting Jake Yeager via OSList <[email protected]>:
Hi all,
Has anyone ever used OST 1) to develop a mission and/or vision statement or
2) to conduct strategic planning? If so, how did it go? Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Much love as always,
Jake
P.S. Hope to see you at WOSonOS so I can thank you in person! :)
