Creating the book in a second- a need for ideas

Dear Avner,
apart from this being a completely crazy way to create a leading company
by cutting corners instead of investing the time for robust and
sustainable action (3 days) here is my two cents worth:
-Create 2 newswalls with A3 copies of each report, so that all 450 can
more or less read simultaneously
-Plan a timeslot after the break-out sessions are over for "reading the
book of proceedings" at the Newswall and augmenting the reports using an
augmentation sheet (here > http://www.boscop.org/page/show/61
you find an augmentation form)
-go to action planning
-take the reports, the augmentation forms and the next step forms that
come out of the action planning (here you find one >
http://www.boscop.org/page/show/62)and all the other stuff that belongs
to the book (cover, table of contents, etc), scan it and send it to the
450 people as a pdf the day after the event.
In other words, you dont really need the book for reading the book if it
is up in a readable way on the News Wall. And, as Esther pointed out,
450 copies of a 100 (more like 200) pages Book, comes up to 45 000 to 90
000 copies or put differently a bunch of trees.
You might also discuss this version with your client:
-Have a one day open space with a reading and augmentation phase in the
evening.
-Produce the Book as an electronic document leisurely.
-Have the half day Action Planning two weeks later for all interested in
it...I have done that and I recommend it for situations like you are
describing...the two weeks pause is like "sleeping twice" and, having
been back in the daily grind between the divergent phase and action
planning can be quite healthy.
In case Yaari is still in Israel when you have the event, try to grab
him. He has experience with a client where divergent phase and action
planning were seperated by I think a couple of weeks (a printing
company) and is presently involved in a community development project
that just had the divergent phase and will have the action planning
after his return to Berlin (about 5 weeks inbetween).
Have a great day
Greetings from Berlin

Hi, fabulous Avner -
I am delighted at Barry and Esther's recommendation using technology. It
would be interesting to hear what technology is available at your event. I
think their explanations are very clear and helpful.
Michael mentions some things that I was going to mention, too.
I find it is fine to simply post peoples' original notes (whether or not you
have a printer capability) on the wall. Give people time for a 'gallery'
walk to read the wall. Some will, and some will not (some will have
absorbed the information in other ways). Always works fine. Then if you
are doing action sessions the data is there for them.
Then you have the opportunity for printing out the book that day, a week
later, scanning it, photocopying it, whatever you need. On-site printing
during a meeting can be very challenging (printers can heat up and stop
printing for awhile, volunteers who have already had long hours can be
worried and stressed, some people may have posted to wiki and some may not
have by your deadline) and time consuming (you would have to build in a time
for printing out and assembling quite a bit of stuff while the participants
are doing something else) so I find that posting on the wall (either just
printed off incoming Newsroom notes or posted as-is in handwriting) seems to
inform people, keep things moving, and not make volunteers run around like
crazy.
I do agree that the ideal situation is time -away- time to reflect. Before
any decisions or actions. There is one way that people think about things
immediately afterwards, and another way they think of them upon reflection -
upon re-clustering that data in their heads (ideally overnight). Seems to
me they get integrate more of the full-systems picture before they go to
make decisions or actions, if they are given a time for pause and
reflection. But there may not be that flexibility in design for you in this
specific situation.
They are in good hands with you and your team, Avner,
Lisa

Doc--
As I recall the conversations from several years ago the things these
women and men taught me started with the idea that the feminine role has
often been to stay home when the male went off into the world. The
journey therefore was more a staying and pondering and tending the
hearth fires and the children and family, staying near home while
pregnant, nurturing. Or think of the crone, offering wisdom of the moon.
For some reason I am thinking they made reference to a book called
something like The Chalice and the Blade.
So I started out as you have said, seeing nothing gender specific in the
Heroe's Journey, then finding that there was more depth to be explored.
Back then to the question, how would all this map to OS? Can we be
inclusive of these notions, too?
It is possible I can find the notes and delve deeper....
