<FONT SIZE="2" POINTSIZE="10" DEFAULT="SIZE">Dear Peggy,<BR>
just got a call from a colleague (trained in open space but no business yet) who told me full of excitement that she got her first offer from someone who had seen her name on my website where I keep a running toll of the os-events I am involved in including the mentioning of the names of the assistants. She was one of the assistants in an open space that apparently has something to do with the os that the sponsor calling her had some interest in. In this case it was also important that the assistants full name was given because they were looking for a woman.<BR>
Now this tells me that apparently a source (my website) that gives concrete information (os events) coupled with information on who was involved in facilitation/assistance (facilitators, assistants) is a way of getting calls. <BR>
I am not sure that it brings business but that it is more a vehicle that supplies information to people who already know that they want to work with os. <BR>
Maybe this could be part of a strategy around our worldwide site.<BR>
I will keep thinking<BR>
hugs<BR>

I've got a really practical question for the people on this list.<BR>
<BR>
There was a message a few months ago on the future search listserv that mentioned that "<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"><FONT SIZE="3" POINTSIZE="12">We are getting numerous requests via the new web site for pro bono futuresearches, paid work, presentations at professional meetings, and training,including inquiries from the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, India, Guatemala andSouth America." <FONT FACE="Arial" DEFAULT="FACE"><FONT SIZE="2" POINTSIZE="10" DEFAULT="SIZE"> I was impressed that the site brought business.<BR>
<BR>
It got me thinking...has anyone gotten work as a result of <FONT COLOR=0000ff><U>www.openspaceworld.org<FONT COLOR=000000 DEFAULT="COLOR"></U>? Is this something that would be a useful thing for the web site to generate? If so, anyone interested in noodling on how that might happen?<BR>
