Open Space Perking in Quebec

[Harrison Owen]

Diane – What a wonderful tale! What’s happened is great – but hearing about
the journey is almost better. However,  when it comes to the choice of
descriptive words – I think I’ll take “brewing.” Not so much for the
process, but the end result. Perking usually yields coffee, which is nice.
But Brewing. . .  I definitely think it is time to raise a glass to you for
what you have accomplished. Great!

When it starts is the right time. 

 

The evolution of Open Space in Quebec is certainly following that OS
principle. For 10 years, a few people from Quebec would join the annual OS
training either in French or in English in Ottawa or Toronto. In the new
year leadership emerged in Montreal Quebec and within 3 weeks, 20 people had
signed up for an OS learning workshop in French. 

 

Whoever shows up is the right people. Again, the principle showed its truth.
People had an affinity with the values and principles of OS and quickly felt
the deep potential of this approach ...beyond the method.

 

On the second day, the key organizer had a special meeting with his
organization's decision makers and convinced them to hold two Open Space
events, 200 and 350 people. Two other participants sent out an invitation
the next week for an OS event on Creativity and Management for the end of
April in Montreal.

 

On the evening of day-2, three OS consultant facilitators from the area and
a number of workshop participants met in a somewhat impromptu Stammtisch.
The energy just spread like wild fire and two weeks later, a conference call
was held among half a dozen people intent on building a French OS community
in Quebec and connecting with other French OS people and communities in the
world. 

 

You will soon hear about an international OSonOS in French to be held in
automn in one of Quebec's natural treasure sites. 

 

Things are not only brewing, they're perking ! It's so uplifting and
rewarding to see OS doing it's magic.
