Adopting Open Source

The real voyage of discovery consists in having new eyes !

Fundamental problems (for ex. Financial crisis) , as Einstein once noted, cannot be solved at the same level of thought that created them. What we pay attention to, and how we pay attention - both individually and collectively - is key to what we create. What often prevents us from “attending” is our “blind spot”, the inner place from which each of us operates. Learning to become aware of our blind spot is critical to bringing forth the profound systemic changes so needed in business and society today.

The “U” methodology of leading profound change is expanded and deepened in Theory U. By moving through the Open Source “U” process we learn to connect to our essential Self in the realm of presencing. Here we are able to see our own blind spot and pay attention in a way that allows us to experience the opening of our minds, our hearts, and our wills. This wholistic opening constitutes a shift in awareness that allows us to learn from the future as it emerges, and to realize that future in the "Open Source" world.

The proces :

1. Seeing / Mirror : learn from the past, see with new fresh eyes
2. Reflection : Open Source field walk
3. Presencing : A Social Technology of Freedom = Open Source
4. Crystallizing : Open Source Sand Box method
5. Prototyping : Try Before You Buy
6. Performing/realize
