Hello everyone!
My name is Olga, I currently live and work in Moscow. In 2005 I
came across OST for the first time, while I working in a
telecommunications company. In 2006, I was a participant of an OST
meeting in St. Petersburg led by Raffi Aftandelian. Then I started to
use this approach in my workshops. I want to thank Raffi for helping me
see how OST and OS principles can inform my training approach. Also,
I’d like to thank him for information about OSLIST. It helps me
to acquire additional experience and find answers to my questions.
This year I have been using OST as a part of my workshops.
Usually I offer a three hours OST meeting towards the end of each two
day workshop. These short OST meetings are an opportunity for
participants to talk about those things around which they have a real
passion.
Also in August this year I conducted an OST meeting for a
corporate training club in Voronezh, a provincial city near Moscow. The
theme of meeting was “Evaluating the Effectiveness of
Trainings.” I think this kind of meeting is very important for
corporate Russian training sector. It was interesting to hear different
opinions about the evaluation of business education. Many participants
thought that many evaluation approaches are impossible as they require
lots of resources: time, money, people to do the work. And often the
evaluation ends up being more resource-intensive than the actual
training, be it short or long-term.
The meeting of corporate trainers lasted just three hours; the
sessions lasted for one hour. And the trainers spent the whole time
together.
Thanks for everything.
Greetings from Moscow,
Olga.
