Re: [OSList] Re-imagining The Change Handbook

[Chris Altmikus @ iDeA-Link via OSList]

Dear Peggy,How you are well. Thanks for reaching out to the community for input. The BOOK is a beautiful collection of formats and provides a genuine support for all who work with organisations and individuals to move through change. The question which attracted my attention is « Should it even be a book ? ». Well, I would be eager to sign up to a web-site and user community, rather than buying the next addition … ;-) There is many opportunities for users and authors alike to get this out into the world through technology. Why do I say so ? I use this book as a well of ideas, when inventing my own formats or adjusting established formats to fit a specific context and request. So I actually use it more as a data base and browse through it on a by need basis. I think its a formidable source of practices and inspirations alike and feel that making this available in an interactive, searchable fashion would / could add value for all stakeholders.With my kind regards    +    Chris

Like Michael Herman, the 1999 Chicago host wrote, this is the place to laugh and learn -- with old friends and kindred spirits -- some of the most experienced Open Space practitioners on the planet and some of the most passionate new practitioners and explorers of Open Space. You needn't consider yourself an Open Space expert. It's enough to bring your passion, your experience and the story from just one place where you've opened the space -- or even a real situation where you are actively working now to open the space. But don't expect a training event, or conference, because that's not what this one is.WHEREThe practitioners gathering will be at ShuiLiHui, right beside Tainan University and the 5 Concubines Temple, a 3 minute bike ride from Confucius Temple. This is Central Tainan in the historic area. On Google search "wosonos17."WHENIt'll be held Oct. 26-28. 9am to 6pm Thurs & Fri., and 9 to noon Saturday.The night before there'll be an informal gathering at a nearby sidewalk barbeque place.HOUSINGOverseas visitors will have priority for on-site housing until September 15. There are 20 double rooms on site @ 500NTD/person. We held all rooms at the venue. (For reservations, email me) We've got a list of several other housing options. Trip Advisor & AirBnB work super well, too. The venue is a <100NTD taxi ride from every possible level of housing. We'll be happy to help folks find what works best for them. Easy peasy.Registration fee:This year the venue arrangements give us the space to offer a "pick your own price" registration. Price won't be an impediment for anyone. We recommend 150 USD. Each person tells us the price that works for them. Some people are joining our support team in exchange for free registration.We supply breakfast, lunch and snacks. For dinners, Tainan is FULL of great food. We'll hand out maps and lists.AGENDASpace opens 9am Thursday. Agenda Walls go from empty to full by about 10am. As usual, each person there is invited to host the topics that matter most to them, and we self-organize from there. It's fun. Be prepared to be surprised!It's the yearly "meeting of the tribe" - as several people in Manila last year expressed. We gather, we renew, we post and host topics, share stories and learnings, think through issues & opportunities in our practice. It's that simple.Please join us!...and please do help spread the word to those people you know who will learn from and contribute to this worldwide open space gathering!Interested in coming?Say so here: https://goo.gl/forms/bVRV3ZAogKA5ZzD93KNOW you're coming?Register here: http://tinyurl.com/ycpls2v8FaceBook conversation place, get questions asked, invite your topics, share your/our newshttp://tinyurl.com/y7oe67ne-- Gail West, email) icat...@gmail.comSkype) gwesticawww.icatw.com

Dear Christine,The thread you have invited is rich… Much has been said. Let me add one single thought.I hope you work with a small groups of passionate people from within the company.

One of the key tasks there is to identify who needs to be invited to the event to productively work on what people attending the Planning Meeting envisioned to be the outcome of the OST event under the Topic for the event that they had agreed on.Of course, the folks planning the OST event are at the Planning Meeting and they also come to the event in the role of sponsor.This is the prerequisite for having everyone needed to be invited.No need to focus on the "leaders", especially if you work under the assumption that all who come "lead". If formald "leaders" dont show up, the "leaders" present in the OST event and in the Action Planning will come up with ingenious ways to get the formal "leaders" involved.Liebe Christine,jetzt muss Dir ja der Kopf rauchen mit so vielen Hinweisen, Ratschlägen, etc. Du bist auf jeden Fall die Richtige für dieses Projekt!Greetings from Berlin where I am enjoying the quickly changing pastel hues of an early fall sunrisemmmpAm 20.10.2017 um 01:25 schrieb Carmela Ariza:> Hi Christine, Hi Michael> > I like the action space idea, the invite all who cares in addition to > the hosts or who proposed an agenda.> > I am not sure if postponing the action planning to a later date will be > the best option as it may dampen the enthusiasm generated by the OS > sessions.

Re: [OSList] OST encourages avoidance of conflict

[Chris Altmikus @ iDeA-Link via OSList]

Mmmh, in my experience this is neither a question of format nor one of the law of the two feet. Let me develop on the latter first: The law of the two feet tells us to do what we can to best contribute from inside ourselves. In my eyes this completely embraces dealing with diversity, difference, different perspectives, disagreement, tension as well as open or covert conflict.When it comes to the format, OST is building on our intrinsic motivation and passion. When we share a meaningful question that brings us together in OST and we are participating from deeply inside ourselves, then OST can actually be a highly conducive format to dealing with conflict. This being said, there are certainly other formats that can also be very powerful when it comes to dealing with conflict, such as Circle Way and others.In my mind this question is more related to a social/societal judgement of conflict as being detrimental and a leaning for some to actively « avoid » conflict (conflict as a meme) . And if conflict could actually be healthy, depending on how we deal with it, when it manifests ? Catalytic, catharisic ? If it was inviting and mobilizing us to deal with tough questions and issues ? If it was energizing us to drive authenticity, openness, transparency and clarification ?

Le 31 janv. 2018 à 00:44, Chris Corrigan via OSList  a écrit :The well known management guru is David Snowden and his principle criticism against OST is the same as it is for every other method. It is not a panacea for every problem. More specifically, Dave’s issue as I understand it, is that groups operate within constraints. There are times when those constraints need to be tightly bound in order for things to happen and other times when they need to be relaxed. In situations in which you are developing new things conflict and diversity are helpful. Sometimes it helps to have a process in which people of differing perspectives are engaged in a tight container together to make something better. Open Space does not always do this, so if you need a required level of diversity (and conflict doesn’t always mean a fight) then OST might not be the best way to do it. I agree with this. Sometimes you need a formal negotiation structure to reach a decision. Sometimes you need expert opinions engaged in a deliberated and structured and way to do due diligence. Dave has other concerns with Open Space that I think he’s wrong about (that it is a convergence process for example) and I’ve talked with him extensively about that. But anyone who think that Dave believes Open Space doesn’t have utility is also wrong. He believes that it’s useful for certain things in certain contexts and not in others. On that we all agree, I would think. Chris. _CHRIS CORRIGANwww.chriscorrigan.comOn Jan 30, 2018, at 2:24 PM, Harold Shinsato via OSList  wrote:
  

  
  
Daniel,

Interesting concern. I think I remember hearing this from a well
respected management guru as a critique of Open Space. I can't help
but wonder the following:

- How well do individual adults resolve conflicts when an authority
figure forces them?
- How well do conflicting peoples or tribal communities resolve
conflicts when they are forcibly held together by an imperial force
(think Rome, USSR, pre-partition India, etc etc etc)

If you are dealing with children or developmentally challenged
individuals - especially those who have violated others rights are
are in prison - I can imagine there being some value to some level
of compulsion or coercion here. But even there, it may temporarily
resolve the fighting and damage, but not the children's growth.

If you are dealing with severe human rights being violated in tribal
scenarios, I can see how that might justify gunboat diplomacy. But I
can't imagine the tribal system will evolve to respect human rights
without a huge additional investment from the gunboat diplomats. And
it is all too likely that such interference may not only cause even
bigger problems later on, but can also encourage exploitation of the
less developed tribe/community.

Thanks for asking this question!

  I am hearing this pointed criticism from some quarters: That
OST actually encourages conflict-avoidance via the Law of 2
Feet. In other words, people who need to be resolving conflict
(or at least discussing it) can just avoid the touchy topic...
and each other. 

Could this actually be true? If not why not?

It will be included in a calendar invite that will have the date and time.Thanks ahead of time for any comments!All the best,JakeCo-Create our
Team’s Future? Our team’s purpose is to ensure that
Navy Federal’s Lending division takes prudent risk and maximizes profitability,
all while upholding a preeminent member experience. This is no small feat: challenges
arise that require that we stretch ourselves to innovate, to break new ground,
to open new horizons. Recent challenges include CECL, AnyLogic simulation, SRM
Mission and Automation, and credit card optimization. We
surmount these challenges because we collaborate to share our knowledge; because we ask tough, insightful questions; and because we push ourselves to grow and achieve excellence.  But there are always intractable
issues that cause headaches, and there are opportunities that wither for lack
of time or attention. What are the  issues that our team faces, and how
can we solve them? What are the opportunities that lie before us, and how can
we maximize them? How can we co-create our future to work more seamlessly, to
be more agile and innovative, and to enhance our well-being? What does that
look like, and how can we get there? I invite you to an Open Space in
order to explore these questions. Open Space is a highly participatory process
that has been successfully employed in multiple situations all over the world. Our
Open Space will be via WebEx, so that all team members can participate together
if they want.  This first gathering will kick off
our Open Space. Here is a schedule: 1:00 – 2:00pm ET    Opening2:00 – 3:00pm ET    Session I After the kickoff, we will have a
dedicated Open Space session each month. However, you are welcome to hold
sessions outside of that time slot. It’s really up to you: your passion and
responsibility drives this process. I can assure you that by the end of our
Open Space: 1.   
Every issue of concern to anybody
will have been raised, if they took responsibility for doing that.2.   
All issues will have received full
discussion, to the extent desired.3.   
A full report of issues and
discussions will be in the hands of all participants.4.   
Action plans will be made and
priorities set. Hope to see you there! All the best,JakeWhen the mind is quiet, the sun of your heart will shine once again, and you will be free of problems. - Robert Adams
