Finding The Next Steps Towards The Future: How 25 persons started to develop their organisation in half a day.

At the same time when SOL 2010 happened in Bucharest I supported a workshop in Austria - which was one of the reasons why I couldn't attend SOL 2010 (which I regret - especially after having read all those appreciating comments about it!)

On the other hand supporting this workshop for me was a great learning about the strength of OD work based on SF.

I provide you a short outline of this workshop now - you are welcome to read the whole description (in German) with illustrating pictures here:
