<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>Dear all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>It is great pleasure to share a part of my OS
experience which i attended at Mumbai, India alognwith other 12 colleagues from
different parts of India. A lot of things to say - but i will write a few lines
(this big letter you call few lines !) of that big experience - i seek your
patience. Hey, it is my first os expereince after being member for three or more
years of OS list.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>First of all it is great experience to be
there, walking through the able guidance of Michael. Thanks Michael. His four
quadrant model and further derivatives from that model is intriguing and
requires further refinement at my end. I am working on it. He talked from his
deep experience and we clarified our dilemma, issues, like if this happen, if
that happen.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>I want to share a particular experience. We put
up our issues on very first day. In some cases, people got overwhelming
response. On some issue a few. In some cases, no subscriber. The issue I
raised in the market place, i got only one professor, Dr. D.P. Dash
of Xaviers Institute of Management.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>Dr. D.P. Dash raised his issue - Driving
behaviour on Indian Road. As usual, hardly a few subscribers. But
Dr Dash (lovingingly NOW we call him DP) persistently wanted to
understand his OS world through his issues whenever he spoke during the OS
programme. We laughingly (with love) support during the first day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>D.P. was not happy with the contribution from
the OS participants - he wanted to speak more and more on this - we were not
ready for the issue - i myself did not subscribe his issue - harldly any taker.
But he is persistent - so next day, in the morning, when he was coming for
OS workshop, he raised the issue with the taxi driver he was travelling. Oh !
what enthusiasctic participant - that Mumbai taxi driver talked and
talked and talked with example (to the entire satisfaction of DP, it seems)
directing his finger to other drivers how they are driving throughout the
journey to workshop venue. What is required, what he needs to do
etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>My learning:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>When DP shared this experience with us in the
morning we laughed again - DP feels so much about it and sincere about it -
though we failed to align us with the issue - taxi driver participated
enthusiastically as he is having deep interest/stake with the issue. I
think this is the beauty of OS which attracts me more and more for OS.
Stakeholders participation is 100% under OS umbrella. this is what i was looking
for so long.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>We had funny moments of learning too - but
before i share that i need the permission of Michael.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>Above all a great learning workshop! a
penultimate moment of a great journey for many of us.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helvetica size=2>With warm regards and thanks for your
patience.</FONT></DIV>
