<DIV> Freedom and responsibility can be a heady brew, but totally
necessary for meaningful human life. I don't quite know how i got started on
all this -- but it is something about seeing the revolutionary character of
Open Space, particularly when done in certain environments. All of which
raises the (ethical) question -- should we be playing with this fire?
Personally, I don't have any choice.<SPAN class=840152000-12032002><FONT

size=2>The revolutionary character of Open Space with its
attending freedoms and responsibilities, are at least half of the
appeal for most of my clients who are sick of opening the dialogue
among the stakeholders with the very best of intentions, only to have most
voices fall silent after a wonderful, one-time event. In
fact, "passion bounded by responsibility" has become a permanent mantra
in some organizations that did not close the space after an OST
event.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>In one "certain environment" revolution was specifically called
forth. Last August, while many of you were attending OSonOS, I was
opening space at the Girl Scouts - Arizona Cactus-Pine Council, Inc.'s
Revolution Retreat. This event intentionally catalyzed the next
iteration of a cultural change effort that continues to inspire me. As
I'm writing this, I realize that I sound like it's the organization that is
doing something. Of course, it is the people who have opened thereby
opening the system. I've written an article about this project for the
Chaordic Commons spring newsletter and would be happy to share it once it has
been printed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
