<DIV><FONT face=Arial>And Michael -- you captured my feeling exactly when it
come to events like this. Doubtless it will be a marvelous show, but as an
advance of real knowledge, and more importantly the application of that
knowledge, I rather think it will come up short. The "Expert Syndrome" one more
time. Old joke about the definition of "expert" -- "a has been under pressure."
Some truth there, I think.</FONT></DIV>

in Berlin]</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear list,<BR>yesterday, I did send the note below to ho who
had not discovered the <BR>link and entered my esteemed opinion on this
project.<BR>Its in the local Berlin paper again today with a long report on
how they <BR>are creating two setups, one indoor for rain and one outdoor for
sunny <BR>weather...its quite a huge table coated with a very fancy and
expensive <BR>material that can also be written on...they have already
approached the <BR>Guinness Book of World Records for the largest round table
ever...and I <BR>wouldnt be surprised if they cut it up in pieces and auction
it off as <BR>they did with other local objects like the Berlin Wall....and,
of <BR>course, there is going to be a video where you can see all of them
<BR>simultaneously answering questions...<BR><BR>To me this is a good example
for the paradigm "Experts solve Problems" <BR>(Taylor, Scientific
management)which dominated the art between 1900 and <BR>1950, followed by a
phase of "Everybody solves Problems" (Group Problem <BR>Solving, Lewin etc.)
which in recent years, under the influence of <BR>Systems Thinking, has been
changing since 1965 into "Experts improve <BR>whole systems" and, more
recently, with the development of approaches <BR>such as Open Space, Future
Search, etc., into "Everybody improves whole <BR>systems".<BR>I dont think
that an approach long shown to be useless for the <BR>challenges we are facing
now improves through technology that makes it <BR>available instantaneously,
worldwide...<BR>Still, its a fascinating show that definitely is marketed in
an <BR>effective mode...<BR>So, for me its back to practicing Open Space
Technology!<BR>Greetings from Berlin<BR>mmp<BR><BR><BR><BR>-------- Original
