[OSList] org'n works too good to use OST…?

[Elisabeth Tepper Kofod]

So interesting and right on time!
Right now in day 2 of an OST training in Venezuela, and one of the issues
in the group, of course, is when to use OST, when not to use it and the
importance of the theme that generates true passion and commitment.
Thanks Thomas, for sharing!
Love
Elisabeth
