Circle, grid and OS - (was: 'The challenge of luminaries')

[Lisa Heft]

Kaliya mentioned using a grid instead of the post-its, and we're talking
here a bit about what makes it Open Space.  

 

Just a note that some folks use a grid and some use the Post-it approach -
some select one or the other depending on the situation.

I love the huge open wall.  Some folks need to see things in relationship,
so I add a twist of color to help some visual people like me be able to see
the patterns of time.  My colleague Zach Metz sometimes uses the grid for
very particular instances.  He and I have been over the years exploring
slight design changes for his work in very high conflict zones (such as
Northern Iraq).  His experience is that - for example in that Northern Iraq
setting - a matrix actually helps people feel there are boundaries and edges
- order to their work - when the world outside the room is literally
exploding.
