Questions for OSonOS

[Brian S Bainbridge]

Dear Chris
Great and real questions.  I hope I'll be allowed to be at both those 
sessions as well.
For me, one of the nagging questions is to do with exploring how to 
help/make/encourage develop a non-OS organization (a parish) to grow 
into an OS type organization, given that I have been appointed for the 
last 232 days as the CEO (Parish Priest).  I'd like to share how that 
has gone and not gone, and see who might have 
suggestions/insightings/options about how we can make spirit grow the 
culture that is (IMHO) needing to move from a "was" to a "becoming" 
culture. And the modelling that might represent for lots of other such 
organisations.
And I'm thinking a little bit (a very little bit) about that here in 
warm and sunny Raratonga. Relaxation (laziness?) and R&R are good 
distractors to help slow down the thinking, it seems.
Cheers and blessings,   BRIAN
