Open space applied to sustainability projects?

[Brett Barndt]

Beautiful thank you very much. It will be wonderful to speak to all these
people about all of this.

We are innovating in that we are teaching finance people about OST, and
other techniques about engaging with "customers" er, the rather with
households and the public. We're getting them to put those words "customer"
and "consumer" away!

They are at a loss now because so many of their risks blew up! And their
entire system they hung their hat on lacks integrity and now the most
scrupulous investors will not put in a dime!

Good for them. It is a time of reckoning and reaching beyond reflexes for
new ideas.
