[OSList] OS success stories in a business/corporate/startup environment

[anne stadler]

There’s a great chapter by Anil Sachdev in a book edited by Dinesh Chandra & someone else whose name I’m forgetting about his consistent use of Open Space in his business entrepreneur activities/organizations. And I have a chapter in that as well. 
I’m now in Holland. The book is home in my bookcase. I’m forwarding this to Dinesh so he can send you the title etc. ok?

Love Anne

> 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.

>> Dear OS community
>> I have been in communication with a business journalist who is interested in writing about OST meetings in a business section of a daily newspaper.  What are the potentials, expected results, success stories etc?
>> I would appreciate if anyone could direct me to some specific success stories of what has been done in business/corporate/startup environment. Perhaps there is something to be found on the internet?  Or if you could give me some insight into specific examples.
