Management in a World of Turtles

[Harrison Owen]

"Doing a Training program" is simply that. Invite some friends, colleagues,
"paying guests" to learn about Open Space. Teach them what you know and move
on. And then let them open space. That is the way we have done it all over
the world. Some people actually make money on this -- not a lot -- but
enough to cover expenses and then some. And sometimes we don't make money,
and in such cases the pay in satisfaction of knowing that something useful
has been done is more than sufficient. If you want training designs, and how
to do it -- I just know that lots of folks here on OSLIST would love to
help. Including me!

"Do a training program"?  You mean participate in an event opened by
others?  (There's no one near enough for my pocket.)  Or just open
space in a 3-hour afternoon?  Would that be enough in your experience
to allow for opening further space?  I guess I'll have to deal with it
myself - but I'll keep an ear on this list just in case.  I'm really
curious about the "do a training program" advice.

It may be just like when people want to quit smoking: set a date for
myself, etc.  At least I do know where my passion is - I know what kind
of event I'd like to convene (local sustainability).  And I have a
theme - something like "what can we personally do regarding
sustainability on our island?".  So what could be the next step?

... to be continued ...

(and thanks!)

Lucas
