<P>Dear Yuval:</P>
<P>After reading your message and Harrison's, I think that my best bet is to converge later, at a slower pace, and it can be apropiate to organize a Future Search Conference with sessions' conveners. My SWAG is that it'll be 100-150 conveners, maybe less. It implies 2 - 3 FS at the same time. What do you think?<BR><BR>Greetings,</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Dear Johann
<DIV></DIV>>I’ve seen example of combining OST with OS when the first day was FS which
<DIV></DIV>>build some common ground about the past and present’ and the second day was
<DIV></DIV>>an OS which build on the whole picture of the past and present to develop
<DIV></DIV>>some direction to the future. I believe that this option is not suitable for
<DIV></DIV>>the situation you presented, as FS is limited to 64 or so participants.
<DIV></DIV>>However, there are examples for doing several FS conferences parallel under
<DIV></DIV>>the same task but in this option you might need many facilitators.
<DIV></DIV>>So if you think that you need a common ground, a whole system consideration
<DIV></DIV>>before taking action and a systemic process I’ll suggest the option of using
<DIV></DIV>>FS as a final part of OS.
<DIV></DIV>>It might work in that way:
<DIV></DIV>>Have this large number participants OS in a way that help in raising all the
<DIV></DIV>>issues important to the community. Than take the results to a FS in which 64
<DIV></DIV>>of the participants who represent all the variety within the organization to
<DIV></DIV>>go through the output of the OS and make sense of it in regard of resources
<DIV></DIV>>and passion. In this way you skip the need for presentation as the
<DIV></DIV>>participants of the FS bring with them the whole experience of the OS.
<DIV></DIV>>I have done some similar work although not exactly using FS or OS but
<DIV></DIV>>building a process around a large group gathering following by a small group
<DIV></DIV>>reviewing and choosing directions and it worked quit good.
<DIV></DIV>>Hope it make sense
