After that I had a break and celebrated a lot of OS conferences as symposia with colleagues, with different companies and communities in Germany and UK.</div><div> </div><div>Somehow I got into contact with John Adams, whom I met at OT and IODA conferences. He sent to me the invitation to OT 22 in Scotland. I didn't make it and - this I do not remember exactly - I thought it was in Scotland or in Milwaukee where he and the participants buried the OT conferences. He wanted to find a good end to these OT Conferences.</div><div><br></div><div>That is as much as I know the end of OT.</div><div><br></div><div>Warm regards</div><div><br></div><div>Ingrid</div><div><br></div><div> <br><div>

It is true that my first public foray into the realm of Organization Transformation happened at a regional conference of ODN (Organization Development Network) – I gave a paper. What is also true is that at the time I had no real clue what Organization Development might be, where it came from, or what it might be useful for. My inspiration, training and experience came from a rather different place, including but not limited to a layman’s understanding of the New Physics, a rather deeper understanding of the myth and ritual of the ancient near east, and an appreciation of a variety of (what now would be called) esoteric traditions. Strange things like Tibetan Buddhism, Sufi thought (Rumi), some deep learning at the feet of (West) African Shamans, the work of Joseph Campbell, Ken Wilbur – and other assorted denizens of the Fringe. I wouldn’t claim academic expertise for most of this, but existential, on the ground experience for sure. Truth to tell, when Organization Transformation first reflected the light of day it was not viewed in a positive fashion by the powers that be (were) in the world of OD. Definitely heretical! Off the Wall! Out of Sight!! Some still feel that way, I am sure – but times change. And a lot of the people who found the idea of Organization Transformation radically abhorrent became friends. I can’t say we have always agreed – but we are friends.</span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "> </span></p><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">And then we come to Open Space Technology. It does not come from, nor is it part of the great tradition (lately created) of Large Scale Interventions. It began as it remains – The product of two Martinis (and before that the Big Bang)! There was no careful research, no critical analysis of preceding efforts – just a little Gin and (much less) vermouth. And with all that as ancestors, you got to keep it simple. – Sit in a circle, create a bulletin board, open a market place – and Go to work. Hasn’t changed a bit ever since. But I am sure that our understanding of what happens has gone a lot deeper – which is not to say that we are getting anywhere near the depths we must achieve. But we are moving in the right direction, I think.
