Process question

[Don Ferretti]

Is the trip necessary?

Just to clarify where I'm coming from on this. For me, and my style, the use of
a metaphor is part of a graduated response to a group's request for help in
prioritizing (usually at the end of the meeting). The first cut may be that that
people just automatically start working on the top priority. No need to propose
a process there. If that isn't working then maybe just asking the question is
enough and something pops up. Further up the scale could be a a quick metaphor.
I see dots, n/3, developing criteria and stuff like that further up the scale
yet.  When I do offer the metaphor path, I'd like to try images other than a
house. Maybe a tree? Anyone used metaphors?

One of the things that caught my attention most in the whole Open Space meme is
that self-organizing systems don't need a facilitator to organize them. I like
remembering that when I'm with groups of people.

Thanks for the response.........../Don Ferretti
