SV: Design question for an OS-meeting

[Thomas Herrmann]

Hi Chris
What I was thinking about more particularily was:
1. Maybe include another session in the morning day 2. I´ve planned to start
at 8.00. That would mean lunch at 12 or 12.30 and less time in the afternoon
for activities such as actionplanning.
2. Spending less time working on actionplans, instead give time to let
people give each other feedback to bring to the action planning sessions
coming monday.

Regarding the voting and grouping of topics I still often do that. My
experience is that sponsors in organizations like to have this information
and it gives a good structure, common picture to the participants. I AM VERY
CLEAR that this is not a process to exclude any topics, that´s why I also
use re-opening (guess it is what you call non-convergence) to identify
topics for action planning. The voting/grouping does take some time and I
agree a "clean" re-opening is nice too...
Cheers
Thomas

  I canlt see anything wrong with your design here Thomas.  I would opt for
"non-convergence" on day two, or more precisely "non-prioritization" by
simply re-opening the space for those that are willing to take
responsibility for convening the action teams they want to see happen.

  Other than that, it looks perfectly workable to me...or am I missing
something in your question?

  Cheers,

    Dear friends in Open Space
    I am planning a two day OS-meeting and would like to ask for any ideas
from
    you.
    My sponsor is a headmaster. Two schools are being merged into one unit
and
    the start will be a 2-day OS-meeting in August. About 100 participants
both
    teachers and other employees.

    The OS-meeting is Thursday-friday and on Monday there will be time for
    action teams to meet to work more on the action plans. So my question is
    around how to get the most out of the afternoon day 2, having in mind
there
    will be a few hours to work further on Monday. We have to be finished by
    15.30. Any sharing of experiences, suggestions and ideas welcome!

    Yesterday we had our pre-meeting and the design we discussed goes like
this:
    ---DAY 1---
    Storytelling in the morning
    LUNCH
    Opening
    2 sessions (1,5 hours)
    Evening news
    Dinner

    ---DAY 2---
    Morning news
    2 sessions (1,5 hours)
    LUNCH (printing reports)
    Reading all the reports
    Prioritization/grouping of topics (to get a structure of the material
and
    info about where the energy is in the groups as a whole)
    Re-opening
    Next step action meeting
    Closing
