OST in Amsterdam

[Henri Lipmanowicz]

Ivana,

Are you inside the organization or are you an outside consultant?
If you are inside in what position or role are you?

You write that you are working on a project; is there at least one  
opportunity for you to use OST on the smallest scale so that  
management doesn't need to make any decision? You just do it and  
people start experiencing OST. The point is to focus on what is the  
immediate first step that is possible with the resources at hand. One  
experience however little will be more effective than a million  
presentations. Then see what happens and figure out the second step.

Henri

       On n'entend bien qu'avec le coeur
        L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux
