SV: OS for research planning

[Thomas Herrmann]

Dear Bo
Last year I facilitated a OST process (in Sweden) with the purpose of
getting going with a new institute for health informatics, where multiple
interestgroups participated. 

We had a pre-planning meeting, one full day of ost, followed by half day for
actionplanning (2 weeks later), + follow up meeting. 

In the process both scientists, doctors, people from farmaceutical
companies, etc participated. And of course it worked well. My sponsor who is
a director of one of the main hospitals in Sweden has used OST at other
occasions too, even had training with Birgitt Williams back in 2000.

Let me know if you want more info, and I could also check if I may give you
the contact info from my sponsor - if that would be helpful.
Warm regards
Thomas Herrmann

The task for the conference is to bring together bench scientists,
clinicians, patients and families to generate ideas for novel
collaborations and novel research projects that can (afterward) be
turned into proposals for funding under the National Institutes of
Health's Orphan Diseases Project.

I'm looking for examples in which OS has been used by scientists as
part of the work of doing science (not examples in which scientists
have examined OS).

The reason I want this is to demonstrate the utility to the scientists
who will choose OS as a method for this conference, and to the
scientists who will determine to fund this conference (or not) and to
the scientists who will be invited to attend. All of them are likely
to be more persuaded of the utility of OS if they see examples in
which their peers have successfully used OS, than by examples in
social justice, conflict, human development, etc.

Best,

Bo
