I remember writing a letter to Harrison about what was beginning to happen....he edited and published that letter in my chapter in Tales from Open Space. I had gotten really curious about : "if all of this great leadership, vision, community, and self management happen in an OST meeting, it means that this is ALL present in the organization already. What can we in our organization do to achieve this kind of performance on a daily basis seeing as it is clear that we have this in us?". From our first OST meetings and the experiences we had, it took us some months to develop the first Conscious Open Space Organization. My hypothesis was: all organizations are open space organizations. Becoming conscious of ourselves as an Open Space Organization was vital to our well being.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I left the organization after three years of operating as a Conscious Open Space Organization. I wanted to find out, as an independent consultant, whether I could assist other leadership teams do the same kind of development in their organizations...or had my experience been a unique experience that couldn't be repeated? Several organizations, all of 100 staff or less participated with me...and they also successfully created Conscious Open Space Organizations. We learned a lot. Always, we began the intentional organizational transformation with a multi day OST meeting. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">After a few years, and with some changes, one of our international development clients demanded we change the name from Conscious Open Space Organization. We settled on Genuine Contact Organization, in keeping with it being a key component of the Genuine Contact program. And yet, always, we begin with a multi-day OST meeting...that has remained essential.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Nov 5-9 I am teaching a small group of no more than 6 persons about the <a href="http://www.dalarinternational.com/services/training/genuine-contact-organization/" class="">Genuine Contact Organization</a>. Residential workshops with me in our home in Raleigh, North Carolina are intense learning experiences, with lots of insights, ah ha's, oh no's...and making sense of the material offered in ways that are unique to each participant and their intended use of the learning.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you have interest in learning how to transform an organization into an organization that has the daily benefits we experience in an OST meeting, please contact me off list.
