process or the outcome – that we know – but I am more thinking about the
format. The way we are working with “it”. Preparation meeting, the OS meeting
itself, and follow up meeting. And I was thinking about that exactly this – our
world wide community with over 500 persons developing, sharing, “arguing” about
how to do, and why to do, and the best way to do etc etc – couldn’t we call
that QA??<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I think Open Space
transcends quality assurance. It's a tricky thing, but to my mind quality
assurance is about control. How can you assure quality when whatever
happens is the only thing that could have?<br>
<br>
You might instead write in the proposal about both/and. In your project
you might use quality assurance processes to do some things, but then use Open
Space to ask the question, what else can we be? What are the areas of
qualities that we don;t know about? How much better can we get? <br>
<br>
And the answers to these questions are "we don't know." Your
proposal then becomes about why this is a GOOD thing.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
