Open Space in 60 minutes

[Diane Gibeault]

Hi Jack,

 

You demonstrated that when the spirit and principles are respected, self
organization happens with its unique richness of human experience and
concrete results. I shared your story with people who were hesitating to use
OST for shorter community consultations, favoring more controlled structured
processes - feeling safer with it. We have done OST  out here several times
in a 2 hour format but you have successfully raised the bar. Now they may
see that the flexibility is possible while keeping the magic, even in less
than 2 hours. 

 

Congratulations. The brave of heart with the right spirit accomplish
wonders.

 

Diane

Last Thursday I ran a 60 minute OS at the MIT Global Startup Workshop (an
annual conference for young entrepreneurs - www.mitgsw.org) in Madrid.

 

There was only one round of sessions so I'm not sure that it qualifies as a
proper Open Space, but the sessions were generated and run by the
participants and the Law of Two Feet was in force, so it was very much in
the spirit of OS.

 

You can read more about it here: www.jackmartinleith.com/?p=174

 

Two of the participants have added comments, and these were completely
unsolicited!

 

I'm happy to answer any questions.

 

Best wishes to all,

 

Jack
