“Most of us do not have time for fluff and feel good training sessions that bear no fruit. The OST process has demonstrated its value to us by changing how we change-and change we must.

“A new pastor had just been called to a new faith community. They invited her to a family retreat for the whole community.

“The open space process has been tremendous for team building. In the process everyone was equal, they had the opportunity to say what they needed to say, to lead and were free to act on their own decisions. This was probably the first time in the work environment that staff had experienced that degree of freedom and respect.”
