OST as an "halfway technology"

[Larry Peterson]

Michael Said:

"so i wonder what would happen if one of us were to go into the empty
conference room, write "what is the future of this company?  ...and what
should it be?" on the whiteboard.  and then sit down and start blowing
bubbles.  i hear that some people actually manage to create jobs and
lives not so very different from that.  this is what i'm imagining as
possible now. <grin>"

This in fact, is the process developed by Tavistock (Eric Trist and all)
before OST  emerged.  T-Groups and Tavistock conferences were very
similar to what you described Michael.  They have largely stopped being
used outside of the gatherings at Tavi.
