<html><head></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi All<div><br></div><div>Last month I posted about a new Learning Workshop Format-in-production:</div><div>"Participants can learn (1) to play with surface waves/breakers with their bodies (2) use the "waves-of-change" metaphor in reflecting their experiences as change agents and change facilitators in the light of 1 and (3)equilibrate these two levels of movement by mental non-movement and physical slow movement according to the Stress Management Technique "Cyclic Meditation" as recently developed at SVYASA Yoga University Bangalore/India where I have learned it in January"</div><div><br></div><div>During my design work I got the strong feeling, that I would like make the training/learning part as focussed and concentrated as possible and then to "open up" for mutual learning of the participants. It will be a heterogeneous crowd with a lot of experience (English and German speakers, experienced Change agents in Education and professional Consultants, Change Facilitators. So I thought, I can only "kick-them-off" in a concentrated training but then they better self-organize asap for action planning in the sense of "How could we Play with the Waves of Change Back Home". And there it was: the idea to do a 2,5 day Training and then a 1,5 day OST event. </div><div><br></div><div>I reacted very ambivalent to my own idea. One one hand the result of many discussions in the OSLIST and my own experience show, that OST is best, when "stand-alone" and "not blended": </div><div>I thought: A training up front would probably re-inforce the everyday "anti-self-organization" habits; the invitation procedure can not be done properly; it will not be a large group anyhow; Where is the burning issue and the urgency? etc. pp.</div><div>On the other hand I could not get rid of the idea. It seemed to be the right thing to do, since my WS methodology is also oriented towards self-organization and then I know: working in the OST format (even if not doing it in the purest way) simply is the most effective way of moving things ahead. </div><div><br></div><div>I got stuck finally. Could not continue working on my WS-Design without a clear decision. So I decided to ask the interested ones and the potential participants directly by putting that question into a survey monkey questionnaire(you might have a look at <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SBPQW6C">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SBPQW6C</a>)</div><div>I thought: If people say "we want it" why not? On the other hand: making nonsense because "people say they want it" is also not the finest style.</div><div><br></div><div>So I would humbly ask you: what do you think?</div><div><br></div><div>Bernd (in Colombo/Sri Lanka right now)</div><div><br></div><div><br><div>
