<DIV>Hola Jaime, como estás?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I share with you our experience with family businesses, using OS: </DIV>
<DIV>It was an event with 200 people (all members of family businesses, property
owners, -parent-child-brothers, etc- and employees, direct and indirect
suppliers, etc.</DIV>
<DIV>It was only 4 hours, about raising awareness on the links in the family
business</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here a little video with the audiovisual record of the meeting. The audio
is taken from some comments of the closing circle</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://youtu.be/Vi7nPXPmBe8">http://youtu.be/Vi7nPXPmBe8</A>
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And from here you can see online the document with the all topics (43
issue) and the main points of each conversation (15)</DIV>

<DIV>It was an intergenerational, cross-sectoral dialogue...It was great! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have no specific experience in succession planning through OST, but since
my intuition would say that the relevance of making one or two groups would be
given to “clarify the purpose of the meeting”. What would like to achieve with
this event?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>According to the stage of the process in which they are, I feel that it
would be very powerful to get involved to the entire system, to invite the
divergence and then from there to see other instances of convergence with more
focused groups.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you want, we can continue the conversation about that in Spanish outside
the OSLIST.</DIV>
<DIV>Aquí estoy dispuesta a compartir y aprender de tus descubrimientos.</DIV>

<DIV>Abrazos from Argentina!</DIV>

<DIV>Fue una jornada de sensibilización sobre la temática de <EM>"La trama de
los vínculos en las empresas familiares"</EM> de solo 4 horas en las que
participaron 200 personas aproximadamente. Todos miembros de empresas
familiares, dueños, (padres-hijos-hermanos-etc-) y empleados, proveedores,
etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Y todos quedaron sorprendidos por sus descubrimientos y aprendizaje
compartido a través de sus experiencias. Fue grandioso!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No tengo experiencia específica en realizar un proceso de sucesión a través
de OST, pero desde mi intuición diría que la relevancia de hacer uno o dos
grupos estaría dado en <U>clarificar el propósito</U> de la reunión.<U> ¿Qué
quisieran lograr con este evento?</U> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>De acuerdo a la etapa del proceso en la que se encuentren, siento que sería
muy poderoso involucrar a través de un OS a todo el sistema completo, para
invitar la divergencia y luego a partir de allí ver otras instancias de
convergencia con grupos más enfocados.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Espero que pueda serte de utilidad. Aquí estoy dispuesta a compartir y
aprender de tus descubrimientos.</DIV>

<DIV>Jaime -- never had any experience with succession planning, but when
it</DIV>
<DIV>comes to families I recall a group of Family Therapists who swore by OS as
a</DIV>
<DIV>great way to bring sense and order into troubled waters. And the little I
do</DIV>
<DIV>know about succession planning tells me that the waters are often
troubled.</DIV>
<DIV>So I would guess you have a match. One thought would be to work with
the</DIV>
<DIV>largest group of concerned (caring) people that will accept the
invitation</DIV>
<DIV>to join the circle. That might include employees and others who have
a</DIV>
<DIV>legitimate connection. They may not be family, but often such people
are</DIV>
<DIV>almost closer than family and can provide different and "linking" points
of</DIV>
<DIV>view -- especially if the family itself is in some disarray.</DIV>

<DIV>Dear OST list,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First of all, a great hug to all of you wishing an excellent year, plenty
of</DIV>
<DIV>success and new experiences in the ever fascinating world of Open
Space.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have been working in the design of a training seminar about the
succession</DIV>
<DIV>process within the family business environment. To my surprise, I have
found</DIV>
<DIV>that a lot of research have been done, especially in the management of
the</DIV>
<DIV>so called "family component"</DIV>
<DIV>which, different from the technical set of circumstances (taxation,</DIV>
<DIV>valuation, estate, accounting, etc.) involves a myriad of human
relations</DIV>
<DIV>and family dynamics topics. Most practitioners in
facilitating/counseling</DIV>
<DIV>the management of the "family component"</DIV>
<DIV>recommend the conformation of two groups: one with the directly
involved</DIV>
<DIV>family members and a second one with the extended family (which might</DIV>
<DIV>include key employees) in order to develop a plan and conduct the
subsequent</DIV>
<DIV>process through formal and informal gatherings and meetings.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am sure that most of you have a coincident feeling about the
possibility</DIV>
<DIV>of using OST to conduct these meetings and am also sure that some of
you</DIV>
<DIV>have worked in succession processes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please let me know about some past experiences in this field. I will we
more</DIV>
<DIV>than pleased to share my findings with you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best regards from rainy and also warm La Paz</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Jaime</DIV>
