OS for research planning

Oh -- just thought of another which is very much in your ball park. The
major cancer research center at the University of Washington used Open Space
to set their agenda when a new president came into office. This effort was
written up in a now discontinue Berrett-Koehler news letter. I don't have a
copy but somebody may (Peggy Holman?).

Subject: OS for research planning

Hi OSList,

I'm a newcomer to the list. I've been to a demonstration of OS by Lisa Heft,
and I'm now involved in planning a conference (for spring of 2009) that will
use OS, and a diverse group of invited participants, to generate new ideas
for research. The field is a healthcare issue in which progress has been
obstructed by isolation, adversarial factions, and too little attention to
human functioning in social systems. 

We're working now on raising money to support the conference. Do you have
examples you can share with me, or point me to, where OS has been used in
scientific research? Especially in generating new ideas, questions,
perspectives, methodologies, and collaborations?

Thanks,

Bo

Hi, Bo, and welcome to this marvelous world Open Space community.

=20

(Bo was at an all-day Open Space I facilitated for current and graduate
students and faculty of a university's Organization Development graduate
program - where the task was to identify what, if any, resources, =
structure
and process might be needed for an ongoing learning community and =
support
network.  She is looking for examples of where Open Space has been used =
with
scientists and other researchers.)

=20

I have facilitated Open Space for

=20

Geoscientists=20

(researching and creating mathematical and digital models for research =
and
application) - researching the earth's core, waters, land, air and space =
-
sharing research and metadata ideas and tools, hearing about each =
others'
projects, puzzling together on challenges, discussing best practices

=20

Marine and environmental scientists and educators

Sharing about education, advocacy and research in their world community,
identifying what projects would benefit from collaboration, and creating =
a
global network

=20

Health researchers, policy makers, legislators and educators

Sharing what was going on in the field, noting duplication and =
opportunities
for resource sharing, sharing viewpoints, discussing challenges

=20

Colleagues on the OSLIST - it may also help Bo, for the purposes of =
creating
this conference - if you can share any examples of using Open Space =
meetings
bringing together doctors and other health care practitioners and =
patients
(and patients' parents or family members perhaps) - to further the
exploration of patient care, medical research and best practices.

=20

Thanks to all,

=20

Lisa
