SV: Questions about selforganization SWEDISH WORKSHOP NOV 28TH

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Thomas,
just having had three days in open space exploring Wave Rider without 
any input directly at the event (participants had received the book and 
the overheads a week before the event knowing that ho was holding space 
for his recovery in another place)and still reeling under the "High 
Performance" this group demonstrated I suggest you let the participants 
go straight into Open Space after watching the video.

They probably can selforgnize their questions and issues immeasurably 
better than in any other way.

Have a great event!
Greetings from Berlin to all of you 50!
