[OSList] meaning making with thousands of interviews

[Christine Whitney Sanchez]

Hi Birgitt,

Although the design of the inquiry is not yet complete (the design  
team is just forming now) this project is likely to be a 3-D process  
only (Discovery, Dream, Design) with the idea that its function is to  
launch/give birth to various initiatives but not to manage them.

The interviews, synthesis and meaning making are, as you know, all  
part of Discovery.  I love using an OST meeting for Design and I agree  
that people are more likely to self-organize for action if they have  
been focusing on what inspires them.

Warm wishes to you in North Carolina (or wherever you are in our  
world) from sunny Phoenix,
Christine
