An opportunity to ride wave: a Certificate (An Empowerment) to Open Life

Dear Colleagues,

I would hope that our dream of a truly liberated life of Open World become
easier from this year!

Korean Version of Wave Rider ready to meet readers early March

Our year-long effort of translating Wave Rider into Korean has ended and is
going to meet Korean readership early March. I invited Mgr. Jung, a high-
level manager, of SEC (Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.) to an opportunity to
write a recommendation letter for the book. He came to OS forum early in
2009. He was pleased to take the job and invited us, myself and Jackie, to
his workplace in Suwon, a two-hour ride southward from Seoul.

Our visitation to VIP (Value Innovation Program) Center of SEC

We found out that he was one of the starting staff of VIP center which has
been functioning as the growth engine of SEC since 1998 right after IMF
crisis hit Korea. At the heart of the center is Value Growth. Knowing that
SEC is now the leader (Number 1 in Revenue in the Industry globally) in the
Electronics & Electrical Products Manufacturing industry globally the
center must have performed its mission (Value Growth) successfully.

As the growth engine for SEC, the center has been turning SEC into a top-
down-based learning organization that has facilitated learning and
practicing multi-facets of VALUE ENGINEERING from various approaches (value
formulae or success formulae) that have been tested and worked elsewhere in
the world including a host of certified value engineering programs such as
Russian TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving), GVE (Group Value
Engineering), Value Innovation, Value Functional Team etc.  He inspired
Fortune magazine to cover SEC's successful application of TRIZ. Now, SEC
has realized that there's nowhere to learn and now it's time to CREATE its
own success formulae. He seems to think OST can do the job in the future.

Corporate Environment that Blocks His Trial of OST

He has tried OST in SEC by running his own meeting with his staff. He was
discouraged or disappointed, however, by corporate atmosphere (his peers
and colleagues) that psychologically blocks trial of uncertified methods
and practices (uncertain territory); an experience of bad feeling.
Throughout the visitation he expressed need of Certification program for
Wave Rider (or OST). He also stressed that once the certification program
is launched it can attract not only VIP (Value Innovation Program) Center
of SEC but also other emergent world-class companies from Korea such as
other Samsung companies, Hyundai, LG, Daewoo etc. I truly think this has
worldwide implication.

Aligning needs of corporate workers with needs of expanding use of OST/WR
(Strong Request from SEC)

- Certificates for graduates of WR course authenticated by worldwide Open
Space Community (symbolically represented by HO or anyone he recommends).

- An Intranet-based WR Software Package using 8 Steps of Wave Riding with
growing database on Wave Riding (OS cases and other cases of self-
organization).

- Transformation of too-structured high performing rigid SEC system into a
High Performing Human System.

Our First Take

1. Commemorate coming of WR by announcing launching of 3-Day Wave Rider
Training program (certification program for graduates) with publication of
Korean version WR as a formal invitation for every reader.

2. Open Space Korea will contribute six percent of the WR Certification
program income to OS community for OSONOS including access queen and other
OS initiatives such as exploring OS in cyberspace and massive
transformation.

We consider the request from SEC for Certification as a user request for
Empowerment for trying the new. And I trust the Certification Program will
help remove barriers (especially in Asian ethos and mythos) to encourage
Wave-riders to try Open Space at their hardwired workplace.

The certification and WR book will serve as formal invitation to Truly
Fulfilling Life: a Chaordic Dance.

I also hope that this help us (entire OS community now and future) sustain
our journey and enjoy more OSONOSes worldwide.

As we always do, any idea will enrich feasibility of this WR Certificate
program. 
 
You are surely invited!


Thanking You All,
