style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS"'>I opened space at Cranfield
University for their MBA programme. The issue was that they had been
having some tensions within the highly diverse group of students –
something like 57 different countries represented. Eg. the overseas students
(many Chinese) feeling that they had no space to speak, ‘cos the Brits
speak up all the time... And the Brits feeling that they were doing all the
work in their buddy times! The uni asked me to run something at the very
start of the new year, to help ensure these tensions didn’t appear. OST
was the obvious choice.... And as a starting point I said that I personally do
not wish to assume that there will be tensions in this coming year... And who
knows what will be in the hearts and minds of the people coming.<br>
<br>
The OS theme we agreed on was “how do we live and work together as an
international community” - the time at Cranfield being a fantastic
opportunity to learn about other cultures and how to be together –
especially as our business world is fundamentally global now and so we need to
learn how to operate effectively in this context. Planned some time
before, the event took place just a couple of weeks after 911. The
contributions were outstanding and very moving (as heard in the closing
circle). We followed up the OS with time together for various task forces to
meet up and grow their work together.</span></font></p>

font-family:"Trebuchet MS"'>My experience with universities has included work
with the University of BC working with the coordinator of health sciences,
bringing 30 people from across the health spectrum together to form a new
College of Health Sciences. The current director, who sponsored that
event, said to me a couple of months ago that the OST was the key event in
catalyzing the new college. <br>
<br>
Also I have worked with the First Nations House of Learning which houses some
First Nations programs and provides a home for First Nations students and
researchers at UBC doing some strategic planning between them, their internal and
external partners and graduates regarding strengthening the role of the
organization. <br>
<br>
Did another one with the office of access and diversity on, well, access and
diversity issues on campus. <br>
<br>
This spring I opened space for the new Dalai Lama Centre in Vancouver on the
question of how the community will support the Centre and vice versa.
Although not an academic centre per se, it is championed by academics (focusing
on educating the heart) and the vision is held by several UBC folks. There
were many academics at the event. <br>
<br>
And just a couple of weeks ago I did an Open Space with all of the HR
practitioners at UBC to create a network. They were thrilled with the
work they did, having never really talked to one another.<br>
<br>
I have had several UBC folks in Open Space training I have done over the years,
all from HR, or continuing education. <br>
