Design question for an OS-meeting

Wed Jun 28 08:12:54 PDT 2006

Hi Thomas,

Along with Chris' idea of non-convergence and yours of identifying topics
for action planning planning on Monday, might you simply ask people to put a
post-it with their name and contact info on each printed report they have
ongoing interest in?  

Warm wishes from sweltering Phoenix,

Christine

Subject: SV: Design question for an OS-meeting

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,

Chris

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
