from OS Institute (US) board

[Mark R. Jones]

Hmmmm . . .

Putting on my "client" hat -- I find the quantitative reference
to experience a useful tool in convincing myself and my
non-OS colleagues that the "facilitator" has the depth of
experience to cover whatever great mysteries and surprises
in process and outcome may occur.  I call it "grounding" in
my own jargon.

 I am attempting to use OS to penetrate deeply into corporate
and large-scale governmental operations.  That does seem to
require a certain paying attention to the conventions and
communications protocols (and languaging) of those types
of organizations   ---   including quantitative references.

Also, in such work, a database of practitioners, event archive,
and forthcoming events -- would be helpful.

I'm with Chris on the subject of designating OS practitioners as Masters.
It
seems to me that integrity and rapport are more important in the choice of a
facilitator for a particular project than number of meetings previously
facilitated.  Plus, you set yourself up for the old question of whether
someone has had 100 experiences or the same experiences 100 times.

I like Michael P's method of making information about experience  available
to clients who want it, and that is something any practitioner can do.  I
don't see it as something that should be the responsibility of OSI.

My two cents' worth--

Joelle
