Hi,

I facilitated a one hour session with a group of experienced
facilitators at a one day seminar.  The seminar was about new
developments with an awareness tool called the Strength Deployment
Inventory.  The theme was a question  - how can we increase the take-up
of SDI in organisations?  In sixty minutes we came up with twelve
outcomes.

It worked, but I think doing with a group of facilitators contributed to
its success.

Mick

I did a 60 minute version once as part of a half day "training" session
preparing a group of folks to be ready for an OS in their organization.
It was a big success! Having the actual experience was what put them
over the top in terms of their understanding of and commitment to the
process.

I agree that doing an OS demonstration is challenging.  I did a
90-minute version once for a group of colleagues.  Had three 20-minute
sessions squeezed in.  It was awful.  Everybody looked bored.  Never
again.

On the other hand, I did a 30-minute thing for a client once involving
the top 20 managers in an American airline company.  They kept pressing
me for an explanation, so during a break I hurriedly made the posters
and stuck them on the walls.  Then I reconvened everyone in a circle and
did the opening.  That's all.  No postings.  No actual open space.

They loved it.  A month later I was doing a one-day event for them to
explore their frequent-flier program, customers included.
