In a debreif meeting sometimes I'll talk to clients about what it all means and then we'll start in on writing the next invitation. If the work in the organization can be supported with a pracitice workshop, then OIST finds a home within the Org, and people can continue to extend the work themselves. -- ChrisCorrigan |
Convenor:Agneta Falk
Participants:Eddie Palmer, Inge Struck Jorgersen
Summary of the meeting:How to prepare people to do the work afterwards, how to encourage dialogue afterwards, if that' s what people want? How to be prepared to set aside time for doing the work after? To set aside time for action planning? How to engage managers in a work that they could experience as a threat to their normal ways?
(Agneta)

In the talk with the sponsors make them aware that some of their staff might leave the job and they might get problems with the unions. THey must be aware of givens, restrcitions or opening the space even more. Make it open in the opening.
