<html><head></head><body>Ros I recently had a group of eight in Tasmania
and the feedback received was "it's the most creative meeting we have had"
and " even though we think we know each other this experience showed that
we still have lots to learn and listen to". As the agenda started to emerge
I wondered whether <i>everyone would go to every session !!</i> However
at times there were three groups going on. Also I found that the group freely
adapted times to suit "whatever happens...." and when it is over...While
this experience was "meant" to look at priorities the outcomes in this area
were minimal - a couple of focus areas clearly emerged . However the group
felt they needed more OS experiences to tap into the real talents, wisdom,
ideas of the group itself if the priorities were to be real and ongoing
and addressed in a meaningful way. <br>
The usual way of acting in this group was to have a very structured agenda,
very little deviation "so that the work will get done". The OS experience
has opened them up to new ways of being i the group as well as knowing that
the "work will get done".<br>
All the best. Joan <br>
