<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>Dear Colleagues,<BR><BR>I would hope that our
dream of a truly liberated life of Open World become easier from this
year!<BR><BR><FONT size=3><STRONG>Korean Version of Wave Rider ready to meet
readers early March</STRONG></FONT><BR><BR>Our year-long effort
of translating Wave Rider into Korean has ended and is going to meet
Korean readership early March. I invited Mgr. Jung, a high-level manager,
of SEC (Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.) to an opportunity to write a
recommendation letter for the book. He came to OS forum early in 2009. He was
pleased to take the job and invited us, myself and Jackie, to his workplace in
Suwon, a two-hour ride southward from Seoul.<BR><BR><FONT size=3><STRONG>Our
visitation to VIP (Value Innovation Program) Center of
SEC</STRONG></FONT><BR><BR>We found out that he was one of the starting staff of
VIP center which has been functioning as the growth engine of SEC since 1998
right after IMF crisis hit Korea. At the heart of the center is Value Growth.
Knowing that SEC is now the leader (Number 1 in Revenue in the Industry
globally) in the Electronics & Electrical Products Manufacturing industry
globally the center must have performed its mission (Value Growth)
successfully.<BR><BR>As the growth engine for SEC, the center has been turning
SEC into a top-down-based learning organization that has facilitated learning
and practicing multi-facets of VALUE ENGINEERING from various approaches (value
formulae or success formulae) that have been tested and worked elsewhere in the
world including a host of certified value engineering programs such as Russian
TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving), GVE (Group Value Engineering), Value
Innovation, Value Functional Team etc. He inspired Fortune magazine to
cover SEC's successful application of TRIZ. Now, SEC has realized that there's
nowhere to learn and now it's time to CREATE its own success formulae. He seems
to think OST can do the job in the future.<BR><BR><FONT size=3><STRONG>Corporate
Environment that Blocks His Trial of OST</STRONG></FONT><BR><BR>He has tried OST
in SEC by running his own meeting with his staff. He was discouraged or
disappointed, however, by corporate atmosphere (his peers and colleagues) that
psychologically blocks trial of uncertified methods and practices (uncertain
territory); an experience of bad feeling. Throughout the visitation he expressed
need of Certification program for Wave Rider (or OST). He also stressed that
once the certification program is launched it can attract not only VIP (Value
Innovation Program) Center of SEC but also other emergent world-class companies
from Korea such as other Samsung companies, Hyundai, LG, Daewoo etc. I truly
think this has worldwide implication.<BR><BR><FONT size=3><STRONG>Aligning needs
of corporate workers with needs of expanding use of OST/WR (Strong Request from
SEC)</STRONG></FONT><BR><BR>- Certificates for graduates of WR course
authenticated by worldwide Open Space Community (symbolically represented by HO
or anyone he recommends).<BR><BR>- An Intranet-based WR Software Package using 8
Steps of Wave Riding with growing database on Wave Riding (OS cases and other
cases of self-organization).<BR><BR>- Transformation of too-structured high
performing rigid SEC system into a High Performing Human System.<BR><BR><FONT
size=3><STRONG>Our First Take</STRONG></FONT><BR><BR>1. Commemorate coming of WR
by announcing launching of 3-Day Wave Rider Training program (certification
program for graduates) with publication of Korean version WR as a formal
invitation for every reader.<BR><BR>2. Open Space Korea will contribute six
percent of the WR Certification program income to OS community for OSONOS
including access queen and other OS initiatives such as exploring OS in
cyberspace and massive transformation.</FONT></FONT></P>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>We consider the request from SEC for
Certification as a user request for Empowerment for trying the new. And I trust
the Certification Program will help remove barriers (especially in Asian ethos
and mythos) to encourage Wave-riders to try Open Space at their hardwired
workplace.<BR><BR>The certification and WR book will serve as formal
invitation to Truly Fulfilling Life: a Chaordic Dance.<BR><BR>I also hope that
this help us (entire OS community now and future) sustain our journey and enjoy
more OSONOSes worldwide.<BR><BR>As we always do, any idea will enrich
feasibility of this WR Certificate program. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
