[OSList] Companies using OST regularly

You specified companies... but there are other organizations. For example 2
Chinese Provinces (States)I can't remember which ones, but could find out.
Mandate OST as the community organizing approach. I think that is the wrong
way to go, but apparently they found it works. And then there was the time I
was in Beijing and two guys came up to me... never saw them before. One from
Milan and the other from Brasilia. Seems they had been brought to town by
Mercedes/China for a two day session with all executives. Apparently it was
a big deal, at least the Mayor of Beijing thought so -- he was there the
whole time, and by the end the Premier came. Strange things happen in odd
places.

Thank you everyone who replied.  
I was hoping to gather larger organisations who are using OST as (one of)
their modus operandi on a regular basis.  Based on the replies received so
far plus a few other sources, I have created a shared spreadsheet – please
feel free to add to it and share:

Thank you.

Dear Francois,

individuals have lists but I do not know of lists beyond that.

For a brief but detailed report on working with OST over a ten-year period
(2001-2011) see this ebook (it contains the report in German, English,
Polski, Francais, Espanol and Chinese)
> https://www.westkreuz-verlag.de/de/Practicing-Open-Space-Our-First-Ten
> -Years-E-Book

As far as I know they continued after 2011 (when I sort of retired) and are
still using it.

In case you have "Meine open space Praxis" you will find it there in German
as Chapter V, paper back
> https://www.westkreuz-verlag.de/de/Meine-open-space-Praxis

There is a data base that list about 832 events from all over the world 
by about 60 facilitators
> https://openspaceworldscape.org/

If you go to
>
https://openspaceworldscape.org/events?tag=&q=Michael+M+Pannwitz&commit=Sear
ch

you can see about 200 events that I deposited there.

And you will discover that some organisations used OST a number of times 
in consecutive years (Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, a political foundation). 
Here is the direct link to 10 events  from 2007 to 2012)

n&commit=Search


or in a series over 6 years (once every two years for Strategic 
Planning) in that case the German equivalent to NACOA (National 
Association for Children of Alcoholics) (2008,2010,2012... with another 
one planned for 2019 or 2020)

The events that I facilitated are all the classic, non copyrighted 
crittors straight from the book.

Greetings from Berlin
