Convergence for Group Consensu

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Kimberley,
your inquiry has initiated a number of responses. And I have tempted 
myself to add another response since I intrigue myself with the question 
of "conversion", "consensus" and "action planning" in the ongoing 
journey of my ever changing practice as os facilitator.
I have been restraining myself because I felt that I needed to know what 
the "business issue" is...all the reflection and planning of those in 
charge of the event in getting ready for the event (planning session, 
deciding on the design of the os, writing an invitation, making plans 
for events after the event, etc.)and my "facilitation" in that phase are 
informed also by the "business issue".
Could you say what the sponsor's "business issue" is?
Greetings from Berlin
