<DIV><SPAN class=736153521-14082005>Dear Bernd</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=736153521-14082005>Thanks for sharing the work you are doing to
find your Open Space office, Bernd. Interesting!</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=736153521-14082005>Thanks Harrison for sharing the offices
you´ve moved around, the porch and the boats sound like quite some offices to
me!</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=736153521-14082005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=736153521-14082005>So far the Feng Shui recommendations have
not helped too much. Right now my office looks like "open space" - nothingness
- with a desk in the center (it´s one of those that you can sit and/or
stand at - too heavey to take out). I cleared everything else out, even taken
the old wallpaper down. Next step is to paint the ceiling and the the door, then
new wall-paper. I got some recommendations regarding colors and to encompass the
five elements in my office and how to place the furniture, lights, plants as
well as some specific recommendations regarding my particular room.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=736153521-14082005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=736153521-14082005>I´m pretty new to Feng Shui but I think that
it will add to keeping the energy level fine, as I do spend some time there
(right now sitting in our living-room.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=736153521-14082005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=736153521-14082005>I had a look on the Internet, there are lots
of sites about Feng Shui, one pretty informative although a bit commercialized
is at </SPAN><A
href="http://www.fengshuicrazy.com/">www.fengshuicrazy.com/</A> <SPAN

the space open and let you know how it goes, when I´ve come a bit further.

<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Dear Thomas,</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I did not apply the Feng Shui concept, but
applied what I have learned from "visual moderation/facilitation"
(visualization tools like moveable flip charts and Pin-boards markers and all
that stuff) ready at each of the 3 possible "outbreak places" in my office
(the space is limited of course). And I applied what I learned from the the
"Lernwerkstatt" (that would be "learning workshop"), which is a concept and
practice in the education sector: make lots of creative material "visually
acessible". And a coffe-machine... ;-) not so new, is it?</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I am not really "working on it", but
whenever I get an idea or come across something which helps to make the office
flexible and creative, I do it. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">As far as I see it, we have just to apply
what we recommend our clients, when the "room" question arises (light, space,
good climate, breakout opportunities, material,...)</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Or am I wrong?</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Thomas, please tell us, which of the Feng
Shui recommendations helped you for the "OS office" because I suppose, some of
them should become part of our recommendations regarding the (physical) Spare
for our clients' OS activities. </SPAN></DIV>
