[OSList] what convergence after 3 OS events ?

[Chris Corrigan]

I’d do the three Open Spaces and then have the conveners of each session invited to a single follow up session to look over the report and help feed into the overall reinvention strategy.  This would be based on the idea that the ones who call conversations are seeing something that can contribute to the whole

Perhaps a follow up World Cafe or other process, but make sure that the leadership harnesses the emergent leadership that is activated in the OS.  The people who propose topics may not be the “usual suspects” and their perspectives will be valuable to support.

They are on a market that is completely changing those days and they have a very ambitious goal with acquisitions (at the time the OS will take place, there will be 200 people more in the company, and they are invited) and diversification. They have begun looking for new markets and hope to continue that with the OS. So their expectations are huge : new organizational models for a new company, new projects, new synergies, hopefully a new management model.
