Dear Inga,
good news!
Newspapers have reported on OST gatherings, Harrison has often mentioned
a particular piece in the New York Times.
Here is a link to a Wikiversity entry
> https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology
Even though the announcement of the wikiversity contains a reference to
the New York article
((08.08.2018 - Open Space Technology (OST) is an approach for hosting
meetings, .... The story was picked up by the New York Times (need date,
c. 1985) ...))
I could not spot any of that in the entry itself. Harrison will know the
source.
The best source for stories from all over the planet are collected in
"Tales from Open Space"... one of the stories is an account of the first
OST event in Europe that the Accor Group organized in Paris in 1992
(Eur-Open Space I, page 63). Some 175 participants gathered from all
over (at that time Accor had 150 000 employees)... this happened just
around the time when Accor and Waggons Lits became one company with
hugely varying cultures.
After the 1992 event Accor incorporated OST in their annual "conference".
The other event mentioned in "Tales", Eur-Open Space II, page 125
reports on an event in Oxford two years later, in 1994... it was
facilitated by Roger Benson from Sweden.
"Tales" published by his outfit "Abbott Publishing" in 1995 has long
been out of print, but it can be found in Harrisons site

und "Books"
here is the direct link
> http://openspaceworld.com/Tales.pdf
Its there for free.
Leafing through my copy I noticed that every story is a gem, all of them
could have happened this year, it is a grand introduction by the then
pioneers in OST.
(I also sent ccs to colleagues that are connected in different ways with
journalism... there are many more).
Good luck with your business journalist!
Greetings from Berlin where we just had a grand Stammtisch with folks
who attended the WOSonOS in Iceland... you would have loved it!
