practice I incorporate in this process and the most visible one. Because open
space is about inviting and about choosing it is very important for me to
provide it both in my very being and in doing, so… after meeting the HR people
and the CEO and the management we moved from "promoting motivation" to "
creation of a division we would like to work in and be happy to belong to.."
They were ready to move on. My gut was that it was too soon. My clear sense was
that 'what OS actually is' didn't seem to get
throu</SPAN></FONT><st1:PersonName><FONT face=Arial><SPAN

degrees deferent. Another barrier was that this management who, until recently,
was a management of subsidiary company now became management of a division, much
more dependent on the mother company feeling limited in what they can do by
themselves and for themselves. Fallowing my senses I insisted on the regular
process we use: having a diagonal preparatory committee as means of still
questioning if OS is what they really choose and distilling the unique way to do
about it. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Meet again with the

remarkable process of invitation formulation and talks to inform everyone in the
deviation (750 people) in 2-3 days (50-70 every time with a member of the
committee who is not 'the boss' of those who listen and question – it was the
first time I had people create such a process). After the talk was over the
person who was in charge beautifully informed everyone else that had still to
go, of what were the challenges of the meeting and how was it resolved. It was
so lovely to be on their list and witness these little tips and care. When they
decided the OS will be for 150 people I had asked Avner to join in with me and

people, who were seating very quietly (too quietly) for the first half an hour,
jumped out off their chairs to create their agenda for 4 breakout sessions that
day and one the next day. Wonderful energy of finding one another again as
people, after three years of survival mode on the personal and organizational
level, they began to shade prickly porcupine skin and try on new, softer modes.
44 conversations, 44 summaries attended with care by the evening and collected
as a book of proceedings from 'everything-culture' to 'working patterns' in
general and in specific. Trust… open, candid, genuine words were spoken and
heard. One participant put it beautifully: 'we had told them every thing before
this event. We talk it in the corridors, in 'round table talks', everywhere! So
what difference will it make'? Another, standing by, said: (this could be a day
of grace) 'you know what the definition of a psychologist is: a person to whom
you pay for hearing all the things your wife has been telling you for so long …,
maybe today it will sink in'.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
