[OSList] Open Space Proposal for POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) founded by POSCO, one of the largest steelmaker

[Lisa Heft]

Hi, wonderful Jackie - It is good to hear from you and to hear of your  
wonderful work and your partnership with visionary business leaders.

Last week, POSTECH’s manager in charge of planning and budgeting  
requested us to propose Open Space for them. Background is as follows:

A Korean scholar from Washington University came into office as  
president of POSTECH this year. He sees humanity as the central reason  
why their researches are for, instead of mere lifting of their ranking  
among similar universities in the world. In 2010, POSTECH was ranked  
28 in the world.  The manager’s willing to take a challenge (opening  
the space with all member of POSTECH - students, professors,  
researchers, and employees). Total members are 4,754. (Student: 1,200,  
Undergraduate: 2,100, Researcher: 500, Professor: 430, employee: 450).  
Participants: whoever comes is the right people.

Please help us provide them with a right proposal. Similar cases,  
photos, videos, comments or any other will be highly appreciated.

A question for clarification - do you mean you are organizing one  
event for 4,754 people (or whoever among that comes)? Or a series of  
events over time mixing and matching and inviting all students,  
undergraduates, researchers, professors and employees? The school  
still has to run. So perhaps the wellness - 'body work' with the  
organism / the organization - would mean regular Open Space events -  
like when someone goes to the acupuncturist regularly for wellness?

Your answer and a bit more about what you feel are similar cases will  
help us help you.
For example: does similar to you mean ...
- large in group size?
- with an organization that still has to keep running while a subset  
representing the full system meets in Open Space, a different mix each  
time?
- for specific tasks such as ...
- within a similar kind of organization?
- anything else you can share with us to help us help you hear stories  
and experiences for what you need?

How exciting. And hugs from the California coast,
Lisa
