<p>I have seen this and want to study it more... but as I am entering the preparations for the Learning Village in Slovenia, this will need to wait!</p>
<p>I suggest that you make a nice paper (pdf) from all this and send it through the AoH emaillist. I don't think a lot of people will look for it and find it here (if they don't know it exists) and it is such good material! Rich to spark some good conversations!!</p>

<p> </p>
<p>In the center of the drawing, the creative tension between traditional high control/management and self organization/choice is fierce… The core team, typically 15-18 people, has committed to gathering every two weeks for 2 hours, which is an incredible commitment. Over the past six weeks, the calling team/management has slowly agreed to do pre-work for each core team meeting. This has allowed for designing gatherings that are flexible and where there is ample opportunity to consider – the meeting setting, the energy in the room, time for reflection and small group work when needed. Admittedly, this pre work arrangement is fragile at best. The biggest gain to core team meeting design may be the addition of three agenda items, namely, 1.) Check-In 2.) A Mid Meeting Break and 3.) Check-Out. For me, this creates cracks for powerful questions that make room for dissent and that builds connections, ownership, commitment, accountability and collective clarity…</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are other interesting dynamics resulting from the make-up of the core team such as; the mix of paid and volunteer team members, definitely a factor in team dynamics... Another leadership dynamic that has came up, and I’ve seen this happen with other citizen volunteer groups, is where one or more key team members threaten to quit if the group wastes time with “touchy-feely work” again. These passionate people seemingly desire to flee the “divergence - groan zone” aspects of the work for fear of a loss-of-control. Their preferences are for hard line agenda driven gatherings…</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The edges of the drawing below is where significant core team energy resides. A number of volunteer led activities are emerging:</p>
<ol>
<li>Quarterly workshops using Open Space and Storytelling, World Café or Pro Action Cafe. Volunteer organizers see these workshops as the connective tissue.</li>
<li>Innovation Engineering – offered to citizen or agency led action groups free of charge. Go to <a href="http://eurekaranch.com" target="_blank">Eureka Ranch International</a> for more information.</li>
<li>Mini Appreciative Inquiry Neighborhood Summits.</li>

<p>Hé Dan, this is great!!</p>
<p>I would suggest that you offer your message and drawing also through the AoH emaillist - as more people will read it there. And if ever you have a written description that goes along with the drawing that would be most helpful! An example of the 5th paradigm, really great!</p>
<p>Thanks for sharing!</p>

<p>The Core Change initiative in Cincinnati, Ohio is still alive. Some of the 700 participants from last winter’s AI Summit have been busy carrying the energy forward. Numerous action groups have been developing and performing tasks, on their own. In the meantime, a Core Team has been organizing a Core Change structure that will keep the imitative alive without encumbering the efforts of real citizenship and authentic change.

In the meantime, a Core Team has been organizing a Core Change structure that will keep the imitative alive without encumbering the efforts of real citizenship and authentic change. The Core Change structure is self-organizing into a nimble vehicle for the restoration of citizenship and the co-creation of health, peace and prosperity in the region…</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Art of Hosting principals have been infused into the design and continue to be offered as the Core Change structure/governance is developed. Traditional organizational structures are preferred by some core team members but I’m noticing that the team’s narrative is slowly changing. In the most recent drawing of the Core Change structure, you’ll see evidence of AoH patterns and language. All of this is very encouraging…</p>

<p>Yes Ria, thanks for asking. We've connected with some of the folks from Columbus, in the past. Its only 100 mi. / 160.934 km from here. Tuesday Ryan-Hart and I communicated recently about the 5th Organizational Paradigm, it should prove helpful as we go forward. I also know Lina Cramer and some the of the Illinois AoH folks. I'm sure when the time comes, they will be there for us...</p>
<p>Blessings from Southern Ohio</p>
