<div dir="auto">Here is my case studies. Educational reform. One school district. The date was 1993. I set the world record at that time for the largest open space technology conference ever held at 703 people. The school system was in crisis major budget shortfall and school closures or the only way out until the open space meeting was held on one Saturday That turned out to be historic ... With 15 minutes of starting instructions 50 breakout sessions were convened over the course of 7 hours in a 150 page book of proceedings was delivered within one week to all participants.This educational reform resulted in the very 1st charter school in the state of Colorado and the 2nd most powerful and effective charter school in the state of Colorado. The 1st one is called the Pueblo school for arts and sciences and the 2nd school is called the Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta preparatory high school system. There is a great success story and a great story of failure that came out of the last 25 years. The success story is these 2 charter schools that have independent leadership independent of the school board. The story of failure comes in that the remainder of the school district and the school board failed miserably. The superintendent who authorized the open space technology solution was promptly terminated. The school district has had 10 superintendents since that time all with a physical results whereas our community has the worst educational scores of any community in Colorado except for these excellent charter schools. The school district proceeded to pursue the path of corruption that is common in Most government today. That is a path of driving government contracts to your friends and then Harvesting your political campaign donations from that source. In fact right now 25 years later the school district is pursuing a 1/4 billion dollar tax increase to repair schools in have not been maintained a say in 50 years. So the big lesson is this my friends. For sustainable leadership to come out of open space technology interventions there must be a perminent change in leadership. There must be honest and real leadership not political leadership that is found again in most governments today especially governments controlled by democrats in America and in small towns like mine that had been controlled like democrats virtually forever. These democratically controlled towns like Pueblo turned into the worst pockets of poverty as the democratic leaders become filthy, filthy rich While retaliating with smear campaigns like you see against the president against anyone that speaks out against the hidden democratic agendas of government contract fixing. Just wait until the true stories come out about all of the money funneled into Joe Biden son business and the Clinton foundation for just one tiny example of self service. So the moral of the story , it takes honest and real leadership and so when it comes to America that's pretty difficult to find in the government especially governments controlled by democrats.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Sep 21, 2019, 2:38 PM <<a href="mailto:oslist-request@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist-request@lists.openspacetech.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Send OSList mailing list submissions to<br>

Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I've compiled OST case studies in a brief format<br>
<<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rgdvm6APRQ1ne-ipTBK5lnCc89PsFXEuieL2phwQDTw/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rgdvm6APRQ1ne-ipTBK5lnCc89PsFXEuieL2phwQDTw/edit?usp=sharing</a>><br>
that I find useful for contracting. Others might too.<br>
<br>
I compiled them from Open Space World, the User's Guide, and Tales from<br>
Open Space.<br>
<br>
Feel free to add.<br>
<br>
Much love,<br>
Jake<br>
