You just do it and people start experiencing OST. The point is to focus on what is the immediate first step that is possible with the resources at hand. One experience however little will be more effective than a million presentations.

People get recruited, 3 months later they get sacked because of crisis, then they get recruited again etc... See-saw if ever I saw one. </div> <div> </div> <div>This calls for some grass-root action, lots of open space for anybody who cares. </div> <div> </div> <div>But - how to sell it to management? The mindsets are as they are, things have "always been done this way", nobody even thinks that grass roots could be consulted..... Therefore, looking for somebody who has done it in ING already, or done it in Amsterdam, who could give me one or two hints as to how to sell this upwards from the ground level, to managers who (most probably) would not believe that a thing like that could happen ever, anywhere. </div> <div> </div> <div>Thoughts?</div> <div> </div> <div>Thank you</div> <div> </div> <div>Ivana </div> <div> </div> <div><br><br> </div><p> * * ========================================================== <a href="mailto:OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU">OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU</a> ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of <a href="mailto:oslist@listserv.boisestate.edu">oslist@listserv.boisestate.edu</a>: <a href="http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html">http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html</a> To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: <a href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist">http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist</a> </p></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>*
