<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Go for it Koos! For myself, I am out of the game. When Wikipedia first happened I was invited to do something on OST. Which I did. From then on we/I got well intentioned notes to “use impartial 3<sup>rd</sup>
party sources. Two problems: The only source I had is me (hardly impartial) AND nobody in the Academic community has seen fit to write a serious peer reviewed article about OST. Weird, but understandable – a whole mess of tenured positions could be at stake!
Just imagine what would happen to the Organization Design Depts. If Open Space actually worked, and worse yet… was actually chronicled and certified as “working” – whatever that might mean. Academic heads would definitely roll! And with good reason. One of
the last times I worked with a large (American) corporation on a “sticky issue” the assembled group did in two days what they had previously failed to do in two years. The chief of that operation called me on the Monday to tell me that “He hated me.” He had
two reasons: 1) He now had to return to all the boring corporate meetings – knowing full well that an alternative does exist. 2) He also had to admit that two years of intense (expensive) effort had produced failure – which had been rectified in two days –
with virtually no effort on his part. Great addition to the CV! And I’m supposed to write-up this kind of stuff? Crazy I am … but masochistic NO-Way. Good luck. And no this was not AT&T. Bigger and richer!</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="SV">Dear Steve,<br>
<br>
first impression I had on reading the wikipedia entry was: Sabotage.<br>
<br>
I checked the German version. Even though I am not happy with it (being <br>
a radical purist) its more or less ok. In the meantime, the actual <br>
practice is far more developed as well as the understanding what OST is <br>
really about (expand time and space for the force of selforganisation to <br>
unfold) is not reflected upon.<br>
<br>
It seems to me the next WOSonOS in October in Berlin is an opportunity <br>
for all interested in this to post the wikipedia entry as an issue. <br>
Maybe even in different languages (I never would suggest translating the <br>
english version into another language), such as German, Swedish, <br>
Chinese, Hebrew, Dutch, Italian (I am suggesting these knowing that <br>
folks from countries where these languages are common will be at the <br>
WOSonOS).<br>
<br>
In general, I love wikipedia and the way that stuff is characterized <br>
("This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. <br>
Please help improve it by removing promotional content and inappropriate <br>
external links, and by adding encyclopedic content written from a <br>
neutral point of view. (July 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this <br>
template message") gives you hints on the quality of the entry.<br>
There seems to be no way of avoiding folks messing with an entry that <br>
are from a different planet.<br>
<br>
Greetings from Berlin<br>
