Fw: OS for mergers and aquisitions

[Peggy Holman, Open Space Institute]

This sounds like an exciting opportunity on very short notice.  If anyone
can give Romy some leads, please do.

(LGI = Large Group Interventions)
(M&A) = Merger and Acquisitions

I/we have an opportunity to provide Open Space/other LGIs in a MAJOR M&A
situation....

So, I am  looking for:

1) cases of where OS/ other LGIs have been used for the major culture
change work that is necessary around M&A
2) a quick summary of some of the M&A issues that might be addressed by
using a whole-systems, LGI approach.

Clearly I can create some thoughts of my own on 2), and.... it's always
good to hear ideas from colleagues - on the basis of modelling the best!!

I have to put a paper together by mid Tuesday (tomorrow), having heard
about the opportunity an hour ago.

Any help you and colleagues might be able to give, would be VERY welcome.

thanks hugely in anticipation,

Romy

PS it might be time for me to join the OSI!! What's involved?
