The purpose of OSI(US) is (along with others) to hold space for Open Space. It serves by:
2002 Activity highlights:
Our conversation was guided by 2 questions:
What’s the edge for serving OS practitioners? (In other words, what needs are being expressed directly or indirectly by people at OSonOS? that might lend some insight into how OSI(US) can best be of use?)
Is it over? (In other words, has OSI(US) served its usefulness and no longer needs to exist?
The responses:
What’s the edge? Paul thought it would be of tremendous use to practitioners to get the insight out that a great way to do “convergence” is by doing another Open Space; a one-session OS following reading the proceedings focused on what’s next. Peggy expressed the wish for someone with the passion to bring some order to the wonderful collective wisdom and stories that currently live in the archives of the OS list and other places far and wide on the Internet. Anyone interested? If so, contact Peggy (peggy@opencirclecompany.com).
Is it over? Paul thought not as long as there is an edge to be addressed. So, not yet.
Peggy will take the question to the next monthly OSI(US) board phone call.
If you’re interested in joining the board (assuming it’s not over), let Peggy know!
