Hi Cecilia,

busineess; now I feel in heaven!. Thank you very much indeed for your

Warm regards and a big hug

> I share with you our experience with family businesses, using OS:
> It was an event with 200 people (all members of family businesses, property
> owners, -parent-child-brothers, etc- and employees, direct and indirect
> suppliers, etc.
> It was only 4 hours, about raising awareness on the links in the family
> business
>
> Here a little video with the audiovisual record of the meeting. The audio is
> taken from some comments of the closing circle
> http://youtu.be/Vi7nPXPmBe8
>
> And from here you can see online the document with the all topics (43 issue)
> and the main points of each conversation (15)
> http://issuu.com/conversacionesparatodos/docs/vinculos
>
> All is only in Spanish without tranlation. )
>
> It was an intergenerational, cross-sectoral dialogue...It was great!

> I have no specific experience in succession planning through OST, but since

>
> According to the stage of the process in which they are, I feel that it
> would be very powerful to get involved to the entire system, to invite the
> divergence and then from there to see other instances of convergence with
> more focused groups.

> If you want, we can continue the conversation about that in Spanish outside
