Dear Carla

Thanks for your answer, I love that way of converging as well, but this time
I don´t think it will be ripe to do that. To my judgement the theme is too
wide and the time too little, so we will think about other ways to go on
afterwards – maybe more OST-meetings or online as they are normally spread
out all over Sweden. Or they may go for more time for the actual OS-meeting
– we´ll see that in our planning-meeting. But as I see the circumstances
now, this seems like a good way.

 

Thanks also to Harrison – of course I´ve looked it up in “the book”!
Remembered it was there.

Best regards

Thomas

Dear Thomas

 

After a very busy time, I am back here on the list. 

 

I remeber I had a same question some years ago. I learned from the list, I
think it was Michael Pannewitz, a quite other way to vote. I used it ever
aftherwards. It is very simple; just open space again and ask who wants to
bring one of the subjects (early mentioned) one step further. It is simple
and I think more inline with the proces of Open space than te stickie
voting. 

 

wishing you succes with the Open Space meeting

 

warm regards 

Carla Vliex from the Netherlands 

 

 

 

Met vriendelijke groet,

Subject: voting - after coming home from an OST-meeting

Dear friends in Open Space       

I am having discussions with a friend of mine who runs a company which does
surveys for companies in a quite interesting and easy way – by using
Internet. In September I will facilitate an OST-meeting with about 350
people – only 5-6 hours. I would like to try letting the participants have
the documentation sent and allowing time for reading before voting on which
are most important to them. 

 

A couple of times I´ve let participants answer via email – which of course
is a lot of work. So in order to do one less thing I´d like to try this
software which we very easily can modify to meet our needs.

 

My question is: What recommendations/ideas do you have for the voting. When
I use stickies in physical voting (which I´ve done with quite large groups)
I usually give them something like 5 votes to use as they like – all five on
one issue or spread out. This could be one alternative for this software
too. I know some of you let people put 10 votes on the top one, 9 on the
second most important and so on until 1. 

 

So I would appreciate pros and cons that you see/have experienced about
these methods and any other suggestions.

Warmest regards
