self-organization and "conscious" Open Space organizations [was OST and PD (Positive Deviance)]

[Raffi Aftandelian]

Queridos Harrison, Artur, y todos-

Harrison, thanks much for your response. I'm curious is there any way one
can get one's hot little hands on that dissertation?

Birgitt has requested that I add a clarification about Genuine Contact
Organizations:

"there is self organizing behavior within the Genuine Contact Organization,
specifically where the space is clarified as ‘open space’ in the
organization. The organization itself is not developed from the premise of
‘self organizing systems’."

Artur, I was intrigued in you talking about Whole Person Process
Facilitation as a directive process. I see how you can call it that. And as
someone who has been using WPPF the past 6 years, I'm excited that the four
principles and the Law are invoked- at least the way I was taught- in a WPPF
meeting...I don't know of any other meeting method that works within a
pre-set agenda that does that.

abrazos,
Raffi
