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

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Raffi and you others out there,
I intrigue myself with Birgitts clarification you added.
Is there any organisation that does not have "self-organizing behavior"? 
So far, I was pretty sure that organisations and all systems without 
"self-organizing behavior" have ceased to exist.
Does it make any difference to the forces of self-organisation whether 
an organisation is developed from the premise of a "self-organising 
system" or not?
Greetings from Berlin where I am enjoying a spring like day at 17C 
sprinkeld inbetween a string of cold and rainy fall days...
