New Year's Resolutions/eliminating the Middle Man

[Michael M Pannwitz]

I think, ho, that I would gladly add "consulting" to

"...much of what we do under the heading of organizing is pretty much a 
waste of time.It would also be true that much of what we have been 
taught about managing and the role of management will require some 
drastic revision."

Hi dear friends in Open Space - Michael posed a few questions which I felt
inspired to answer.

What color has open space?
---The wide top of a rainbow - all!
And
What color has Open Space Technology?
---Same but more focused - ends of the rainbow - all!

And
What color has Open Space Facilitator?
--- black at the start of an OS-meeting, like a black hole absorbing all the
light - and then at the end of the opening white allowing all the colors of
the spectrum to come alive - and then, of course invisible when holding the
space...

Well, that's the colors I've seen in Swedish OS-events anyway...how does it
look at your place?

Warm regards and good wishes to all of you for 2008
Thomas Herrmann (hoping to make it to SF - to see many of you again)
