How can OS be done on a bridge line?

[Anne Pattillo]

>Hi doug,


In my experience is yes, it feels a little different, however I have
a client with a physically distributed team who use open space for
their issue specific discussions.

Posting topics is done using a mix of on line and over the phone.
the discussions are done serially.

The client reports it works - the facilitation is now done in house -
it is a powerful way to distribute leadership, work with the
diversity of experience.

I'm not sure whether it works because it builds teams or because the
relationships in the team are preexisting.

This team does for some issues invite the participation of others
interested in specific issues.


Regards



Anne
