Ricardo Semler and SLEEP

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Raffi,
I have read his books several times and really enjoyed looking at the 
Video Interview...
Even though I dont know, it wouldnt surprise me if he never heard of 
Open Space Technology (more recently,he has been around folks that do 
know about it).
He certainly didnt know about it when he started restructering his 
fathers company (while dad was vacationing).The existence especially of 
his outfit (as well as millions of others unlike his) to me is a sign 
for the open space/selforganized mode more or less visible or active in 
all organisations. So, even though I dont have an answer, your question 
about "Conscious Open SLEEP Organization" in this context makes me 
wonder, why I have been so interested in identifying the characteristics 
and finding organisations that belong to the variety "InterActive" orgs 
(as the fourth category in the system "ReActive, Responsive, ProActive, 
InterActive and Inspired Organisation as described by HO in the "The 
Power of Spirit"). Another sign of my easily awakened urge to "control" 
orgs into that direction? As if I could!
Maybe my increasing "resignation" to simply keep facilitating events 
using Open Space Technology is a healthy sign after all...at least, I 
can be that more or less consciously and increasingly unconsciously in a 
SLEEP mode. In other words, it might be one less thing to do wondering 
about whether the organisations that experience Open Space Technology 
events are "consciously" or "unconsciously" moving towards something 
that they already are.
Greetings from Berlin where everybody seems completely agitated by the 
upcoming soccer finals for the European Championship, Germany/Spain in
