Ralph Copleman, Barbara Bunker, and I used OST with a division of  
Carbarundum that had just been sold. It included virtually 100% of the  
employees of the new organization in two geographic locations  
simultaneously... one in the eastern US and one in the midwest. We had  
ti use dial-up computer access and fax machines to communicate what  
was going on at each location each round! By the end of the process  
there was a new mission, vision, values and basic organization  
structure.

I used OST as part of the process of forming a collaborative  
partnership among 4 nonprofit organizations providing early childhood  
care and education to very different types of children, resulting in a  
mission, vision, and values, as well as articulating a plan for the  
first two years of their partnership. That partnership is now almost  
25 years old. It's members have internalized the principles of OST.
