Dear Harrison and friends,
My Boss raised an interesting question and I would love to hear your
experience on this issue.
He cited the Boeing doors example and then challenged the idea of
INVITATION. He said in a business organisation, some key people just have to
be there, they can't have a choice about coming.
So I explained to him that in the Pre-OST stage, there is a lot of work done
with the Sponsor group looking at questions like that, however ultimately
people must individually choose to be there or not.
So then he said well what if in the Boeing example, one of the key
technicians, essential for the whole process, decided not to turn up because
he had booked a holiday and just didn't want to miss it.
This does raise an interesting question about whether people can really be
free to choose.
PLEASE PLEASE share your experiences with me because having facilitated a
number of OSTs, I am convinced about how it works, and the also the deeper
aspects that emerge from it.
Thanks Bhav...
