<P>Hello, Alan -</P>
<P>Nice to meet you as well, and thank you for the thoughts and connections.</P>
<P>Interestingly, my typo (Open Space has been instrumental IS the evolution of the following...vs. IN the evolution...", makes me think further. Perhaps OS really is the eveolution after all.</P>
<P>Anyway, the Fellows program is an outgrowth of an OS that we convened last November in Washington, to envision a US response to the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. The need for leadership action and support in crafting a US partnership to address the Decade was an important outcome - hence the Fellows as a step in that direction.</P>
<P>As we know the space opens to what is needed and leaders act to serve those needs.</P>
<P>Hope to meet you, perhaps as a Fellow?</P>
<P>Best - Steve </P>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your comment on the use of Open Space whets my appetite for more detail. For what I have been engaged in, and have in mind to take further,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>would seem to be in accord with the Vision and Values of your program and what you are doing in practice. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a leadership program in Adelaide in which I now have regular input. Entitled <FONT color=#333333>the <EM>Governor's Leadership Foundation Program (GLFP) </EM></FONT><FONT color=#000000>it is delivered by </FONT>the Leadership Institute of South Australia (LISA). <A href="http://www.lisa.com.au/">www.lisa.com.au</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Below is an outline of what transpired to be a most lively and enjoyable happening at last year's 'Closing Retreat.' </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>The 'results' were so successful that similar activities are </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>now integral to the 2004 program, starting on Day 1 of the course. See also <A href="http://www.creativestate.biz/Leadership1.htm">http://www.creativestate.biz/Leadership1.htm</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your posting is another trigger in prompting me to propose to the director of LISA that an 'Art of Hosting' component - as brought to our attention most recently</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>by Judi Richardson - be introduced to the GLFP. There are diverse dimensions to this, among them being personal development and awareness of leading edge processes </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>through which leaders engage with others richly. Plus of course the fundamental notion of hosting being a core leadership practice. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wonder if you would elaborate on 'Open Space has been instrumental is the evolution of the following ...' </FONT></DIV>

Greetings all,
=20
I've a quandary, and I'm hoping for thoughts and insights.
=20
My quandary is that I've never "done" an OS without the computers being =
set
up to capture the discussions and, when possible, the action planning. =
All
of my OS events have been for government clients or the private sector, =
all
of whom look for "something" to come of the event - and a book of
proceedings has always filled that bill.Even single-day events, the =
groups
seem to "make time" for note-taking.
=20
I'm leading a single-day event this Wednesday for three private-sector =
firms
and several agencies (~20 people) that want to partner to bring a new
offering to market. There's unquestionably a lot of good energy, no =
negative
energy of any real concern, just a lot of good people who want to figure =
out
which direction to run in when the starter's pistol goes off. The =
invitation
asks "what do we need to do next to..."
=20
I've got this little voice tugging at my mind, telling me to leave the
laptops and the printer in the trunk, and just to let them talk. But =
that
book of proceedings seems to have become my own crutch over time - I'm
worried about not having anything to "show" for the time these people =
have
invested, many of them flying in for the day.
=20
Any thoughts as to what you might do in this circumstance; what you've =
done
in the past - any would be appreciated. I suppose OS without computers
"works" - in fact, I don't question it. How do you decide when it's best
just to let them talk?
=20
Thanks and heartfelt appreciation for any comments you care to offer.
=20
Phil Culhane
