Re: [OSList] Brief OST Case Studies - Feel Free to Add

Birgitt,

What an amazing story. What courage from this person, the Dean. And how 
beautiful the eventual support from other staff members. Like an ode to trust, 
or faith.

Re: [OSList] Brief OST Case Studies - Feel Free to Add

[Birgitt Williams via OSList]

Hi Rob,
I have read your thoughtful post again, and focused on "One other issue is
that we are always ready to blame things like OST for poor outputs, a
scapegoat.  When things work and we have outstanding outcomes we must
include OST as part of the fabric of success.  How much we include it is
dependent on the faith of the decision makers and their openness to the
power of good process.

Much longer than I wished.  The outcomes from OST events and process are
far reaching and very powerful we should try and track them through good
evaluation process."

I was wondering about your experience of OST being scapegoated for poor
outputs. I feel this is worth exploring.

I heartily agree with your guidance about the importance of evaluation of
OST events and processes. I have found that it is challenging to separate
out the evaluation of OST as separate from tracking the progress of the
total consulting assignment and the results. I am wondering what thoughts
you or anyone have about this.

In our Genuine Contact way of Working with Open Space Technology, we
encourage our clients to have what we call an accountability meeting
sometime between 4-6 months after an OST meeting so that the participants
express to one another the progress as a result of the OST meeting. This
has been helpful.

I remember an assignment for the school of business at a college. The
situation had intense conflict, grievances by the union against the Dean.
The Dean had the courage to engage us and to go ahead with a two day OST
meeting plus 1/2 day for prioritizing and developing next step actions. We
chose the theme'issues and opportunities for organizational excellence'.
Day one was challenging beyond belief, with harsh topics coming up
including that the Dean should be fired.Day two additional topics were
posted. The 1/2 day of prioritizing included a dominant theme of evaluating
the Dean for the purpose of getting her fired. Yes, she sat there
throughout all of this, not shutting this down. I admired her very much and
she offered to be as transparent as she could possibly be in answering what
would be asked of her.

Four months later, just before the accountability meeting, she phoned me to
say that she didn't think we would have a good meeting because she wasn't
sure that the groups that had formed had actually done their work. We
agreed to take no action but to let the meeting unfold in whatever way it
would.

The accountability meeting was done within the method Whole Person Process
Facilitation. When it came time for the 'champions' of actionable items to
report to their peers about progress, it turned out that lots of action had
happened, everyone had a report. Discussions took place regarding the
reports to further the evaluative/accountability/tracking process.

The report and discussion that dealt with the performance of the Dean was
the big surprise. The group reported that within the constrains imposed on
her by the College and its rules, she had actually done a good job.

Some months later, the union grievances against the Dean were being heard.
As a result of what happened in the OST (outcomes more than outputs
affected this), even unionized staff spoke on her behalf in the hearing and
the grievances were dropped. She phoned to tell me of this, in complete
amazement that this was possible. She thanked me for helping her hold
steady in the process so that the people could address what they needed to
address.

in genuine contact,
Birgitt

Re: [OSList] Brief OST Case Studies - Feel Free to Add

[Birgitt Williams via OSList]

Hi Rob,
When writing a proposal in response to an rfp, I have the practice of
listing the outputs that the client can expect, usually based on what they
state they are looking for. And then I add a 'value added' segment that
speaks about the outcomes. I make the case that says while we are working
on the desired outputs, a byproduct of the way we work is a significant
list of outcomes...that it is the way we work that makes a difference that
affects the culture and that getting these outcomes doesn't cost a penny
extra!

Thank you for your post,
Birgitt

Re: [OSList] Brief OST Case Studies - Feel Free to Add

[Robert Chaffe via OSList]

Birgitt,
Thank you for your comments as you refer to "outcomes" or things that
happened under the influences beyond your control.  Some use the words
"surprises" or "unexpected".  These are often the game changers.

Why do we not have a great list of these things?   I think it is because we
are often contracted to do a job in a very complex system involving many
"jobs".  In "Who moved my Cheese"  we are reminded that the prudent
operator spends some time looking around and checking the environment and
changes.  In the business world this level of thinking is not common.  The
Fortune 500 group do this and "we" developed a program called "Group
Business Visits" that got business people out of their own business and
into another business to confidentiality review that business and its
practices, direction etc.   A very powerful process and one that is much
valued by those who have chosen to us it.  "To see ourselves as other see
us" and to be humble enough to accept what is said.

The breakdown in most contracts is that the focus is on "outputs" things
that can be directly controlled.Systemic integrated evaluation is
uncommon in most contracts and that is where this "outcome" data comes from.

In our "irrigation Futures" project the contact was for specific outputs
over three years.  We engaged over 500 people in a wide range of
conversations and meetings at a time when the allocation of irrigation
water in South East Australia was under significant review (cities were
running out if water) at the same time a massive deregulation of the dairy
industry was undertaken.  The major secondary industries in the irrigation
area process milk fruit and vegetables was under considerable strain with
over $100 million put in to prop up one industry alone.
The participants of our workshops included all levels of management in
primary and secondary industries and the wider community.
80% of the dairy farms have disappeared one process company worth over $900
million was sold for under $30 million.  many smaller dairy processing
plants closed.  Once viable towns struggle to field their own football
teams and empty shops are everywhere.
I am sure that around the globe this story can be told in many places about
the local primary and secondary industries.  The big difference in our case
was all these changes were identified and discussed as plausible
possibilities and appropriate responses generated.  OST was used
extensively to work through issues and opportunities and complexity was the
order of the day.
Consequences have been the adjustments in this multi billion dollar
industry area of Australia have been in  some way based on prior
discussions the people involved had had.
The surprise moment came when the local member stood up in defense of her
community and publicly denounced  the leader of her party and the prime
minister in the Parliament House  for telling a lie about her community.
This is not your normal outcome from a process as it reflects that the
local member has the support of the whole community and that she could
speak out safely about issues that needed to be addressed.

Regretfully we had limited fund to continue on annual debrief sessions to
capture the changes and the growth of the community.  The outcome referred
to has now resulted in the election of independents in once very strongly
held conservative party areas in the electorates in the irrigation
districts involved.

Dis OST cause this? It is certainly drawing a long bow to even think this
way.  As the facilitator of this multi million dollar project I believe
that as the participants learned the art of conversation and truly valued
others inputs while not seeking single answers we had a community that was
ready and able to adapt to change.  Change that has completely changed
their community and their ability to do business.

I am sure others have similar stories, and when you see them in this short
form the response is  this is not possible.   The next thing is to retreat
back to the area of outputs where there is a high level of control and keep
things simple.   I say beware when the time has come for an idea to express
itself and one thing that OST does is lift the lid on issues and
opportunities.
Again in "who moved my Cheese" we need to lift our head and be brave enough
to say "wrong paddock or field" when things are coming up roses.OST
does expand the writing on the wall and we avoid this at our peril.

One other issue is that we are always ready to blame things like OST for
poor outputs, a scapegoat.  When things work and we have outstanding
outcomes we must include OST as part of the fabric of success.  How much we
include it is dependent on the faith of the decision makers and their
openness to the power of good process.

Much longer than I wished.  The outcomes from OST events and process are
far reaching and very powerful we should try and track them through good
evaluation process.

Regards
Rob

Thank you for your generosity Harrison. Your early books are the ones that
I so loved, the ones self published. When I went to the link to
openspaceworld.com to get Tales from Open Space, I had a moment of even
more delightyou have several of those early books available as a pdf
for download.

My favorite book of yours has always been the first one I read, Spirit:
Transformation and Development in Organizations. I remember George
Herrmanson, executive director of Five Oaks Retreat Center and Larry
Peterson, executive director of the Urban Core Support Network bubbling
with excitement about you, your work, a talk they heard you give, and this
book. Within Canada, this was the beginning of our invitations to you to
come and spread your wisdom and our commitment to getting word out. Circa
1991.

with appreciation,

You wrote that you compiled them "from Open Space World, the User's Guide, and 
Tales from Open Space". 

Would it be possible for you to add the source to each study?

 

That would help when we or others share this stories.

Thank you.

 

And, wow, I have great joy getting to witness some of your journey with OST and

Cheering you on,

Re: [OSList] Brief OST Case Studies - Feel Free to Add

[Birgitt Williams via OSList]

Hi Jake,
I appreciated the way that you organized this case study data. I
appreciated a lot that the way that you reported the data gives OST its due
credit while simultaneously not claiming that it does more than it does in
a given business situation. Mostly it is presented a a chosen tool/method
for specific tasks within larger business processes, thus showing one
aspect of the versatility and value of OST.

I feel that the case studies would be enhanced if there was an addition of
a category that I refer to as 'outcomes'. These outcomes are the additional
qualitative benefits that emerge. People have a shared experience of their
leadership, vision, community, and management in ways that surpass what
they assumed was possible. Something happens within that OST meeting that
cannot be unremembered or undone.

in genuine contact,
Birgitt

Hi Jake,

Cool, I appreciate your compilation and the sharing here!

You wrote that you compiled them "from Open Space World, the User's Guide, and 
Tales from Open Space". 
Would it be possible for you to add the source to each study?

That would help when we or others share this stories.
Thank you.

And, wow, I have great joy getting to witness some of your journey with OST and 
your intentions for your organisation!

Cheering you on,
Marai
