I do not trust people if they say there is no distrust. Os at least, I am very suspicious.<br>
<br>
I think the good thing is to be explicit about it, to take it for granted as a human condition. And then talk about it again and again and built our fragile moments of trust and bridges of compromises.<br>
<br>
And of course I, as most people, I love the moments of trust!<br>

(Wonderful to see you back on the list the last few months, Kerry!)<br>
<br>
Peggy Holman in her Engaging Emergence has hinted (maybe she said it outright) that a little bit of distrust can actually help the Open Space, equating it to just so much more diversity, if I recall.<br>
<br>
Comments on distrust among the participants as a good thing?<br>

Hi Harrison<br>
<br>
Enjoyed your analogy of teaching someone to fish in lieu of handing them<br>
a fish. It certainly is applicable to the failures of traditional<br>
foreign aid.<br>
<br>
Yeah, Open Space is easy. I facilitated my first group with 175 people<br>
in an old tram works in Glasgow for the entire theatre sector of<br>
Scotland. My training was reading your Handbook and a weekend course in<br>
OD. But, like most simple things, you can spend your life working on<br>
it. So, simple it is, but practising and perfecting it is an art.<br>
<br>
I now have done over 100 events with a bit more than 7,000 participants<br>
and I still am amazed at large group energy and dynamics. It sure beats<br>
facilitating top teams in organisations who, agree a vision and<br>
strategy, then watch it fail when they try to cascade it downwards.<br>
Nobody buys in, because they were not a part of its creation.<br>
<br>
It is far easier to get the whole system in one room and let people<br>
commit at the point of participation. After all, what more can you ask<br>
than an organisation creating the space where people totally equal<br>
contribute and participate on a level field. Nobody is in control and<br>
nobody can influence outcomes. So, there can be no stacked deck or<br>
hidden agendas.<br>
<br>
That is yet another thing so brilliant about Open Space, you can seed<br>
the field with grass and players far faster than any other large group<br>
process. Flexibility is the hallmark of Open Space, along with its<br>
complete bottom up self organisation driven by motivation and action<br>
through _*passion* _(care enough about something to stand up in front of<br>
everyone with your burning issue) *_and responsibility_* (care enough to<br>
lead a group and do something about your passion.)<br>
<br>
Simple it is, but you can spend a life time working on it. In this<br>
respect, Open Space has a Zen like quality. Practise, practise, polish,<br>
polish.<br>
<br>
So, thank you Harrison for your laziness and penchant for martinis. You<br>
have done well. And we all can attest to your generosity as David<br>
Osborne discovered. You gave your creation to the world without strings<br>
and without royalties. Bravo!<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
