New York City

Hi again New Yorkers (current, soon-to-be, and virtual),

I would be glad to see a stammtische work here.  I'm not ready to take the
lead myself at the moment, but that won't be a problem since it's
self-organizing ;) .

Susan (fondly waving back), the stammtische (I no longer know if 'm spelling
it correctly) is a German expression meaning "tribe table," which might
translate as "salon."  Basically it's an evening in a bar or restaurant with
a bunch of folks interested in getting together with OS principles guiding
the evening - whatever people want to talk about gets talked about, in a
group or multiple groups.  There's the OS connection, of course.

I don't know how different NY really is from other cities, but I would amend
Michael's helpful points to say that one week isn't enough advance notice
(but a good time for a reminder).  And, recognizing Michael is speaking
American as a second language (if I'm not mistaken), I might also check to
see if the owner is a female before following his suggestions to the letter
;) .

-Laurence

Hello NYC OSers, many of whom I know and waive to fondly, and greetings to

> Dear fellow spaceholders,
>
> Fresh back from a little over a month in Moscow and St. Petersburg working
> with OST and related approaches, I'd like to share a little of my
> impressions and questions. Overall, not sure there is much here to add to
> the larger Open Space conversation, but I feel it is important to share
> nonetheless. I'm also sharing here not just on OST but related approaches
> in
> part because I think all of this work spoke to creating and experiencing
> the
> larger Open Space of life.
>
> I arrived in Moscow the evening of April 2nd and the morning of April 4th
> conducted a one day Introduction to Dynamic Facilitation (DF) workshop for
> a
> group of corporate trainers at the invitation of a trainer development club
> called the Mark Kukushkin Open Trainer University (otumka.ru) I've only
> been
> working with DF for six months and most of that experience has been one on
> one phone work. So, it was definitely a risk to go ahead and offer this
> workshop to a group of 15.
>
> It helped to frame this workshop as an experiment and also to invite people
> to set aside all their knowledge about training and learning aside for the
> purposes of the workshop. Even though- as I expected- DF did not deliver a
> breakthrough or aha!- 1 ¼ hours is just not enough time in the space of a
> daylong workshop to experience that- the short time they had to practice
> and
> also to reflect on the process. Open Space principles using a Whole Person
> Process Facilitation container
> (http://genuinecontact.net/mtg_whole_person.html) informed the design for
> this and all the other workshops conducted during my stay. By the end of
> the
> workshop even the most skeptical saw value in the approach and seemed
> interested in trying it out even (or especially?) as it challenged most
> directly the whole Change Management paradigm.
>
> Inspired by the example of Thomas Herrmann, I'll be following up with this
> (and the other groups) 4-6 months from now to evaluate the effectiveness of
> these workshops.
>
> April 5th was a full day Introduction to OST workshop at the same trainer
> club, with a few of the same participants, altogether a group of 15. Olga
> Zolotareva, previously a corporate trainer with Beeline, one of Russia's
> Big
> Three cellular providers, co-held the space within the workshop for a 4
> hour
> OST meeting "My growth edges as a trainer/coach: issues and opportunities."
> Among the 10 topics:
>
> "How to win a corporate tender"
> "What benefit is there in corporate learning programs?"
> "The coach/trainer at the summit: what does she/he think about?"
> "Different applications of OST"
> "Knowledge management in trainings"
>
> A mini-non-convergence was held – if I'm using the term correctly- where
> participants were invited to develop action plans, announce a new topic, or
> further discuss a previously announced topic.
>
> This was perhaps a first time in my experience in really being able to
> discern what words in explaining how they would be invited to work would
> best serve the group. And special attention was given to reduce the Magic
> Charm Effect in part by pausing and having silence in the opening only so
> much and not to a point that could cause discomfort among the participants.
> It has really helped to listen over and over to disk one of "Understanding
> Open Space" and to hear how Harrison subtly invites the shamanic in the
> opening..
>
> Part of what was emphasized in the context of this OST meeting was:
> a) an invitation to consider what personal successes they were embarrassed
> of- a way of considering perhaps that sometimes success is really a time
> when one held back and didn't take the full risk and did something well but
> not terribly differently from before; in other words control was not let go
> of
>
> b) an invitation to consider which personal oops, failures, catastrophes,
> and fiascoes they have to celebrate as delicious indications of growth
> opportunities, road signs which scream loudly "take risk here!"
>
> This seasoning in the opening really seemed to help the group to get
> straight to work as if they'd taken part in OST many times before (they
> hadn't).
>
> The overall design for the OST one day learning workshop was:
>
> Introductions (a process-facilitated "transfer-in" using illegally imported
> into Russia natural objects from San Diego, Florida, and Iran. Participants
> took an object from the center and were invited to ask themselves what the
> object told them about what brought them to the workshop)
>
> A little about the workshop- with an invitation to set aside everything
> they
> know about training, facilitation for the duration of the workshop to
> maximize their own benefit from the workshop
>
> Hopes and fears- work in groups of four on identifying their own hopes and
> fears regarding the workshop
>
> A break
>
> Then the 4 hour OST meeting
>
> Another short break
>
> And then five questions were posted around the room – drawing on the core
> questions, as I understand them, in the Genuine Contact Program's
> three-four
> day OST learning workshop -
>
> - what do the participants, sponsor, facilitator feel during an OST
>  meeting?
> - what is OST?
> - what are key elements of OST's form?
> - what are key elements of OST's essence?
> - what does the facilitator do to prepare the sponsor, facilitate the OST
> meeting, and to follow up?
>
> And the participants were invited work with these 5 "sessions"
> simultaneously for 30 minutes as if in OS. They were also invited to
> announce any other sessions, which they did. Time was set aside to answer
> any questions. And I did a little presentation about when to use/not use
> OST, working with the sponsor, and the energetics of walking the circle
> (sorry, Jack!, no meditations on the romantic quality of a Brighton bicycle
> horn!) with a little bit of practice with the whole group in the last.
