OS in Asia - convergence

[Denis Cowan]

G'day.

Being a muller  (I have difficulty with the conscious world - this also
means that I do not see what others have written until I have the same
thought myself)) this has triggered some things for me.

Bob Dick  ( a developer of great processes here in Brisbane) has often
commented that we should not wrap events up nicely. If events are nicely
closed off then people do not take their confusion (and subsequent growth)
home with them.

Should we only use convergence for completion when the theme requires
resolution at the event itself ? MMM I have some doubts about that myself.

Possibly I am not yet sure of the purpose of convergence and need to mull
that a bit more ?

Regards
