Sarah, I probably won't be the only one to respond, and I don't have
direct experience (although several members of this list do), but you
should check out several sections in "The Dance of Change", especially pp.
470-77, for one of the case examples that has emerged from the US Army in
recent years. This story is also noted in video form in Margaret
Wheatley's film, which I believe is called, "Lessons from the New Science"
or something similar. And if I remember correctly, there have been
several threads on this list over the years which referenced military
applications of LO approaches; perhaps Rick can give you the archives URL.
