Open Space and Chaordic Concept

[Christine Whitney Sanchez]

Dear Open Space Colleagues,

In March, the attached article in PDF, which currently appears in the Spring
"Chaordic Commons" journal, tells the first half of an inspiring
organization restructure story.  I thought you might like an up to the
minute report from the author.

Dee Hock, Founder and CEO Emeritus of VISA International and author of The
Birth of The Chaordic Age, often predicts that it takes two years to
complete a chaordic restructuring. The Girl Scouts - Arizona Cactus-Pine
Council, Inc. pulled it off in eight months!  "Artifacts of Hope - The Girl
Scouts Go Chaordic" was written in February.  Just two months later, after
working on all levels within the organization, keeping the process open to
the 9,000 adults that deliver services to girls, the "Structure Group"
completed its new design and it was just ratified by the Delegates and Board
of Directors at their Annual Meeting last Saturday!

If you'd like more information on the process we used with the Girl Scouts,
which drew from Open Space Technology, Society for Organizational Learning,
Appreciative Inquiry and Chaordic Concept, or if you would like more
information about The Chaordic Commons, please feel free to contact me.
