Of course you are right, Kerry. It always depends on
the situation. There is space for emergence and space
for planning, depending on the concrete conditions.

Anyhow, if we do action planning at the end of one
single event we are still within the same course, but
using a different horse (method). An alternative would
be to end the first OST and have a separate second OST
(course) sometime later on "opportunities and
actions". This would be more close to "different
horses for different courses" and could eventually
reduce the fade of energy and help in the facilitation
of an OSO.
