Unless (I think) your research subject is related with community work
or other subject that you can find a group interested in doing an OS
about.

And than you can combine OS with other methods (like Action Research,
or Soft Systems Methodology). Or you can compare OS with other facilitanting
methods (four instance, compare the metanoia efect of OS to enable
a Learning Org with a lot of courses on the five disciplines, to obtain
the same effect; compare OS with other large group intervention
method used with similar group - not the same group, of course),
and making comparisons by way of inquiries or some other comparing
tools.

Some of these would make fantastic thesis if you can find a professor
to accept qualitative methods (or if you can quantify them for examination
purposes..).

My 2 cents

Now I know it's technically not December 2nd here, but then we're pretty
much the last place on earth when it comes to time.  It IS December
second somewhere, which gives me the chance to wish you a happy 65th
birthday.

And if the next 65 are anything like the first 65....
