Dear List
When I introduce the Process to groups, I say there have been more
than 40,000 events in over 50 countries. I don't know if there is
any evidence for this statement, but it makes people feel better to
know there is a proven approach.
It may be easier to suggest OST in North America, but the UK is a
different story. Many European countries are very hierarchial and
not use to bottom-up inputs from self-organizing events. So, we have
a credibility issue and an open database helps deal with this.
We use OST in 85% of our events, because it works. We won't change
our preference, although I resent implications these ideas are
"corporate." I have stayed out of the corporate world for decades,
because I do not like corporate values.
My suggestions were just that, suggestions. I am perfectly capable
of "paddling my own canoe" and will continue to do so. I still feel
we could help ourselves around the world even if we knew how many
countries had experience of OST.
