Deep Democracy * Open Space * Other systemic methods

[Tonnie van der Zouwen]

Hallo Michael, 

As a new member on the OSLIST I have been following your conversations
of the last week with great interest. My collegue Peter Strobosch and I
are finishing an English version of our website on Large Scale
Interventions (currently in Dutch. 
We developed a training for practioners in organising and facilitating
change processes based on the principles of LSI. The training is
modelled as a kind of Search Conference around the question "what can
LSI add to my practice". Open Space Technology takes an important place
in it. In december 2005 we start with a training in Dutch, in the SoL
Academy for (potential)members of the Society for Organisational
Learning in the Netherlands. We hope to offer international courses next
year. 

The website www.largescaleinterventions.com links to lot of sources. We
would like to add a link to your website and to your guide doc to
invitation writing, if you agree with it. 

Please let me know. 

Tonnie van der Zouwen

patricia, you might add to your list of topics appreciative inquiry and
asset based community development.  the latter approach, especially,
would help shift the focus a bit, from capacity-building to capacity
discovering... not unrelated, of course, to the first stage of
appreciative inquiry.  maybe you'd be interested in these next two
links, as well...

and thank you, jeff.  maybe some of what you're meaning in this
meta-being is in this blog post, the latest version of it anyway?

i've recently posted a sort of guide to invitation writing, as well. 
continuing to refine my own practice of this.  the guide doc is
downloadable here:
