Johann:

The point of Open Space is to get the whole system into the room, but
with only one day, there's not a lot one can do in terms of
instigating deep change.

I agree with Harrison's point about no having report outs, and without
having a second or third day to do priority work, it's going to be
difficult to produce an action plan.

There are still unanswered questions for me about your event as well.
What's the theme?  Why is the leadership using Open Space and what do
they expect it to do for the organization?  Who ultimately makes the
decisions about what action will go forward, and what are the
contraints on ideas?

If the organization's structure is not going to be loosened up to
allow for the leadership in Open Space to translate back into the
day-to-day operations, then what is the leadership's plan in terms of
executing from the day?

(I would suggest, by the way, looking at the Kentucky Rural Health
Centre story in Tales from Open Space on harrison's site to see how a
large organization worked with the enbergy and leadership developed in
an Open Space event).

All of these questions (and more) are about the action and follow-up
part of the event and they all lead to implications for the priority
setting/action planning process.

My first recommendation to you would be to try to get at least one
more half day.

Good luck,

Chris

PS...what is it about South America and HUGE Open Space events?  ;-)
