OOS LIVE
Every month. Two senior leaders. Two beliefs from the OOS framework. A structured debate, moderated by Mike Litman, open for the audience to vote in real time. Free to attend.
How it works
Each session is built around two adjacent OOS beliefs that appear to be in tension. Two guests -- both senior, both constructive -- take one belief each and defend it as the more important operating orientation for the current moment.
The audience votes on which belief they find more compelling at the start, halfway through, and at the end. The shift in votes is the data. Mike moderates, asks the questions the audience wants answered, and closes with a synthesis.
No slides. No pitching. A room full of people who are trying to build something and want to think harder.
