John, welcome.
I salute your / your colleagues' efforts in setting up the
regional association of non-government organisations in east
and southern Africa. I was recently in South Africa for the
International AIDS Conference -- I was giving workshops on
interactive learning for health educators. I understand the
need to bring together isolated African NGOs and other
community programs as I learn from my African colleagues.
Several of us are on a team that is dedicated to supporting
and sharing with people who do Open Space (or want to learn
how to do it) in Africa and in South America. Would you
like to join us, or perhaps help us get in touch with people
or groups in Africa who would like to build relationships
and learning? Our team -- Multinational Open Space Team, or
MOST -- currently has the ability to teach and discuss in
portuguese, english, french and spanish. As needed, some or
all of us can travel to individual countries, given enough
funding (governmental? corporate? any ideas?) for travel
expenses. We would love to share ideas and impressions with
you.
Warmly,
Lisa Heft

Harrison, what an honor to be with you on your birthday. I
thank the publishing gods that your book tour brought you to
San Francisco for the evening.
I gave Harrison a poem that night, and now I'll share it
with you, my OS friends. By the way, the word "dinghy"
(from the Bengali dingi & Hindi dingI) is a small boat, such
as a rowboat or life raft.

Haiku for Harrison, on His 65th Birthday
in walks harrison
old hat perched upon his head
mischief in his eye
let go the outcome
hold onto the dinghy, folks
go where it takes you
see what happens when
you invite chaos to play
spirit catches fire
he's been lighting fires
across the world and then some
never put them out
spirit is a funny thing
comes into space and reshapes
cannot fit back in
let loose this power
to create change in the world
person by person
change creates more change
harrison is changing, too
feels his path beckons
two martini guy
uses own law of two feet
walks towards the future
time for the unknown
nutrition for harrison
more food for the soul
this one is simple
this is not rocket science
just breathe and let go...

Don, maybe it is like that American phrase that some people
use to explain that something is overwhelming and one cannot
take it all in, "I just cannot wrap my mind around that..."
Maybe you wrap your mind around the spoon and wrap the spoon
around your mind and therefore wrap around the spoon.
Warmly,
Lisa

A reading resource...
For an interesting read on "businesses needing to adopt a model of leaderless
organization to prosper in the new economy" check out Knowledge Management magazine’s
(Strategy and Technology for the New Economy), December 2000 issue, www.kmmag.com
(in the “Need To Know” section) where Tom Koulopoulos of the Boston-based Delphi
Group and author of the upcoming book The X-Economy makes an excellent OS argument
(without calling it OS of course) for creating and sustaining business success
when he links "their (protestors) organizing principles was to have not a leader,
but a series of decentralized decision-making units that acted from a common
set of rules we might call a knowledge base" to the need for creating "mass
collaboration" in order to effectively address change in the workplace.
