Just to clarify I don't view it as evaluating the effectiveness of OST but the effectiveness of the development process at hand. Maybe it is viewed as the same thing for some of you? For me the pre-work, the OS-meeting and the follow up activities are to be viewed as a whole. And just as HO pointed out - this is unique for each process/organization. Tracing results and reporting back is crucial. Amazingly enough, during the 13 years I have been an independent consultant mainly working with such processes I have yet to meet an organization good at evaluating development processes and reporting back results…<div><br></div><div>There are many things I attend to. One invitation I always do is to invite the leaders/the organization to keep the principles and law also for the whole process… They apply nicely also to working groups starting from an OST, and can also inspire to incorporating them/the approach in the ongoing life of an organization. I love it when I hear comments like - I think I'm gonna use the law of mobility/gonna be a bumblebee/butterfly etc when I visit an organization down the line. These metaphors inviting new behaviors are important! It also helps not to add any guilt to people or the organization - sometimes it's over - then the initiative may not be important any more, or the energy has faded - well, then it's over. Just make sure it is communicated - if it's still important to someone else, they can step up. But on the other hand it may not be the right time for it anymore...</div><div>All the best</div><div>Thomas<br><div><div>6 maj 2013 kl. 15:58 skrev Leslie Zucker (Creative/DC) <<a href="mailto:LeslieZ@CreativeDC.com">LeslieZ@CreativeDC.com</a>>:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; "><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">Fantastic!
