The structure allows you to stop, discuss, move on and build a reaction/response in a constructive way.<div><br></div><div>So much of Open Space is the glue that holds such behaviour together. Right now we need to brake the shackles of “winner take all” as the chaos in the Wider community is dominated by a few who seek total control. Such stories rise about the normal debate level and pose challenges that can be discussed and consensus is a real outcome.</div><div><br></div><div>Too many people in the world feel they have no “voice” and as nations disappear under the sea or in the conflagration of wild fire. Leaders choose to seek diversions from the real question of the sustainability of the whole world.</div><div><br></div><div>Videos like this provide choices and help move conversations to levels that can address the big issues rather than who has power.</div><div><br></div><div>Statesmanship is required, sorry I do not have a gender neutral way of describing this. One reason is that it is so rare we do not have common nouns in our common conversations to describe these persons and their behaviour.</div><div><br></div><div>The video captures this tension and asks can we use these ideas on a global scale? The answer is an emphatic YES. Remember “the power of one” and the impact that each of us can make if we chose this “way less travelled”. My limited mobility combined with my health issues requires that I work on myself and my small circle of friends. My challenge to the young healthy and mobile of us will you give it a go? The rewards are simply a healthy place to live well into the future. The consequences are that in a very short time we will have nowhere to live and survival will become a life threatening activity.</div><div><br><div dir="ltr">Regards<div>Rob</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On 11 Jan 2020, at 4:48 am, Thomas Herrmann via OSList <oslist@lists.openspacetech.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}

This link leads to the full 25 min video, about the Agile Culture in Spotify company. There are shorter versions too, but I recommend the full if you are really interested. Lots of good stuff and interesting to understanding more about this approach and how it can be used in a healthy way (as it sounds). I know it can also be ”mis-used” just like OST.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><a href="https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=spotify+agile&&view=detail&mid=5DC370E7746AF98272625DC370E7746AF9827262&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dspotify%2Bagile%26FORM%3DVDVVXX"><span lang="SV">https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=spotify+agile&&view=detail&mid=5DC370E7746AF98272625DC370E7746AF9827262&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dspotify%2Bagile%26FORM%3DVDVVXX</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We had some great conversations and areas of collaboration we will explore bringing OST and GC into that company. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Wishing you lots of open space for fun during the coming weekend<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hugs<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Thomas Herrmann<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Open Space Consulting AB<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Pensévägen 4, 434 46 Kungsbacka, Sweden<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Telefon: +46 (0)709 98 97 81<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Email: thomas@openspaceconsulting.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Homepage: </span><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV"><a href="http://www.openspaceconsulting.com/"><span lang="EN-US">www.openspaceconsulting.com</span></a></span><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV"> <span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Profile on LinkedIn: </span><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV"><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasherrmannopenspaceconsult"><span lang="EN-US">www.linkedin.com/in/thomasherrmannopenspaceconsult</span></a></span><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV"> <span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Company page on Facebook: </span><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/OpenSpaceConsulting"><span lang="EN-US">www.facebook.com/OpenSpaceConsulting</span></a></span><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV"> <span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Open Space Consulting frigör livskraft i människor, organisationer och samhälle.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV">We release lifepower in people, organizations and society.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color:#833C0B;mso-fareast-language:SV">Medskapande är hör för att stanna – dags att vässa er förmåga?<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#C45911;mso-fareast-language:SV">Co-creation is here to stay – time to sharpen your skills?<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Trainings/workshops 2020<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Febr 5-7 Organizational Health and Balance – Berlin, Germany<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV">March 12 Online erfa-utbyte om Open Space-metoden (gratis!)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV">April 2-3 Cross Cultural Conflict Resolution – Netherlands<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:SV">June 7-11 Från vanespår till integration – den glömda kreativiteten. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Öland, Sweden<br> (From old habits to integration – the hidden creativity)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:SV">Sept 1-3 Working with Open Space Technology -
