<DIV><SPAN class=970094819-15012004><FONT face=Arial>Many of us have had great
success by providing the prospective client with a list of large group
methodologies. An excellent resource in a nice table is on Martin Leith's site
<A href="http://www.martinleith.com">www.martinleith.com</A> . I use one of his
handouts, I quote from The Change Handbook by Peggy Holman and Tom Devane
(Berrett-Koehler, 1999) and I refer them to Large Group Interventions by Billie
Alban and Barbara Bunker (Jossey Bass, 1997). It all makes a great business
case. And then I let them know that my favorite method is OST because my clients
have had the greatest benefit from the most open of the methods.
