[OSList] Twist

[Amanda Bucklow via OSList]

I did groan when I saw the ‘twist’. Often a twist makes something unbalanced or broken.

There is always a certain kind of pressure from clients to have an agenda. They don’t appreciate that it works better without and mostly because they haven’t experienced it. Some facilitators feel a compromise is the answer and again often it is worse because it becomes neither one thing nor the other.

Open Space for me, works best in its organic, non-gmo state, without icing or spice just human breath.

warm wishes to you, Harrison, from a very cold London.

It isn’t a question of the “integrity of the process,” morality, good form – Truth is, self organization rules. It’s the way things are. Yes, we certainly can clutter things up, slow stuff down, add a little twist or turn – but at the end of the day, The Agenda will be set by all the people involved. Now it may happen that The Agenda will be set and worked at the coffee breaks, in the “comfort rooms,” or on the ride home … all of which seem like a bad waste of time to me, to say nothing of energy and creativity. But people will do the strangest things.
