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

[Thomas Herrmann]

again many thanks for all interesting perspectives and ideas. I sure feel floating in your wisdom (-: and I love floating!
I am having discussions with the leadership to make some adjustments including no presentations. Instead an email reminder including info from the action teams + some clarification regarding the invitation. Actually this is one of the times I did not get to have a look at the invitation before it went out, although I  always ask to have a look before…

Hege, I love the idea of naming the challenge we faced last Friday, even if the actual result seems very valuable. But I would love leadership to clarify the invitation before Friday. Even if it could be an interesting discussion to have with the group I think the invitation should be clear before, so that people show up!

I will let you know how it all went!
Hugs
Thomas

> Had a "funny" experience yesterday when I facilitated an OST with an organization that I mentioned about earlier, they have dived into OST and use the approach more and more in everyday life. Every August they have 1-2 days with all employees. Last year we had 2 full days (twice with half the staff each time) in OST resulting in a total of 23 action plans implemented by self managed workgroups. We have had follow up meetings reporting the progress from teams that now have dissolved or are still working. Their business (a hospital) now runs really smoothly, producing well over targets with energy and high spirit.
> Out of different reasons the message for the first of this years conferences (one full day, next Friday is the next - for the other half of the staff) was a bit blurry (in my opinion/how I experience it) so the energy was not so high (setting agenda was really slooooow, didn't experience anything like that in the hundreds of events I have facilitated!) and some thought the day was a bit boring/slow. At the end most who were still there were happy(some left early - long day on Friday is not a good choice either)  - 9 action plans with concrete improvements! I used re-opening space, so it was all by invitation (-:
