“There is a space in the middle of the forest that can only be found by those who get lost".
"Two truths approach each other, one comes from the inside, one from the outside and where they meet you get a chance to see yourself."
With gratitude to the Nobel Prize Laurate Tomas Tranströmer, the author of these wise quotes.
Changing the body language of an organization requires just that – finding that special space, the meeting place for inside and outside, where there is enough freedom to find spirit and creativity. To reach this space there has to be a possibility to get lost so different perspectives can meet - looking from the inside out and from the outside in and allowing the blending of those different views. In nature where the forest meets the meadow is the place where you find the biggest variety of plants. Two perspectives meet and results in wonderful creativity.
Do you want to find this space in your organization to have access to all the wonderful solutions and ideas that could mark a new era for the organization? So how can you create the possibility to get lost and allow perspectives to meet? How can you find that special space where there is room for the mind to soar to new hights and many sparks can ignite new ideas?
There is one blockage to creating this kind of space and that is when the environment is too restricted, when there is so much to do and not enough resources, when there are so many control functions to adjust to and where there is no one asking you to share your wisdom.
With that said, I would like to share a really simple recipe with you, that can be used as a gateway to the forest. It is called Open Space Technology and it creates the possibility to get lost so you can find the wonderful space in the middle of the forest. It also allows for many different perspectives to approach each other and meet and the result can be a diversity of beautiful plants that could assure the successful future of the organization.
To do an Open Space Technology meeting you only need an urgent issue, a warm heart and some guidelines to follow. The only things that could mess up the meeting are those mentioned above, control and restrictions. If you don´t want to do it yourself the first time, call a facilitator. A facilitator is a person who comes with another perspective that meets yours so you have the possibility to get lost and find your space of creativity and inspiration.
Creativity comes with spirit as in in-spired. When the roads is so narrow and surrounded by walls, there is no room for spirit so it might well hide in a drawer in your desk. Artwork from the Genuine Contact program, created by Birgitt and Ward Williams, Dalar International Consultancy.
