Glossary of Terms

[WB-TrainingConsultingDevelopment]

Dear Lisa,

I put some german words which I do use after "/" directly in citation of your text (below).

Michael Pannwitz defines in fact the german "standard use" of OST and also the words in this context. So it would be good to contact him.

I am very interested in the results you get in whatever language, because I am working on the longterm-project of a general glossary for/with/by change consultants/practicioners - worldwide together with Holger Naumeier (change-management-toolbook). Unfortunately we could not invest much of our time for this project during the last months.
But I attach one of the several versions of the world file, we collected.
Perhaps it is useful to you.

Bernd

Hello dear colleagues   I am building a glossary of terms for Open Space / Open Space Technology.  I will make this available for your reading pleasure and your usage on my (soon, soon) website. I am building this list in English, which is my home language.  Some of these terms are very American, and you can help me by sharing with me other words which are used in the English or other regions   and you can also send me the words in your other home languages so I can list them, too in the glossary.  I imagine that this might also help readers of the Users Guide who may be reading the English version when English is not their first language.  When I mean translation, please note that I mean not literal translation of each word, but a cultural translation capturing the nuance of these concepts or describing these items in ways that your country s culture will understand   no need to teach people a new vocabulary when we can describe each word in ways people will understand through their own cultures and codes.  And I know this will be very regional in many cases   for example someone from Mexico may say something in a different way than someone from (hi, Jaime) Peru or Bolivia. For you English speakers, I do want to find definitions in English for each of these words   let us not assume that those in other communities of practice know what our words mean.   Because it is a glossary, and because I will attempt to put all languages you send me into this glossary, please try to give me a phrase or a sentence and not a paragraph for each word. It s an interesting puzzle.  Who wants to play?  And: any words I m missing&?
