OS and conflict resolution

[David Koehler]

Chris,
We use OS along with a conflict resolution process developed by Roger Fisher
of the "Getting To Yes" fame.  This process was developed at Harvard Law
School and the Harvard Negotiation Project.  I would suggest getting a copy
of "Getting To Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In," by Fisher and
William Ury.  I'll also just mention that my work is done primarily with
unions and management.  If you want more info contact me via e-mail.

Thanks,
Dave Koehler

Open Space just got more visible in Canada.  Day 3 of the Opening session of
the Governor General's Study Conference 2000 was just held in Open Space.
250 of the "next" key leaders from business, unions, government and the
non-profit sector prepared to go out on 10 day "tours" throughout Canada in
Open Space.  It was fully bi-lingual with Diane Gibeault and I playing
different roles.  I Openened the Space in Banff and Diane will Open the
Space in Quebec City in about 10 days.  It was a long, difficult political
battle for the programme committee just to get Open Space as part of the
conference.  I don't think it will be difficult again.
