"Transformative teleology"???? As I recollect it was two Martinis

You know how one cynic chains up with another! Any extra thoughts on how
to rebuff (perhaps the wrong word) this one (it seems to me quite a
betrayal of self-organisation to imply that people are being led up a
specialist facilitation path). Chris Macrae

I also know from personal experience that the one-off nature of many of
the OST processes leave tremendous challenges for 'follow-through'.
They also can create a culture where genuine dialogue only happens in
specially facilitated OST sessions and once back in the 'real' work
situation the 'normal' rules apply.

I am not against OST in any way.  I think most interventions have their
upsides and downsides.  I do believe that sometimes the downsides of OST
can be lost."
