idea)  Susan

> 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.
>
> At the end of the workshop, I invited anyone who cared to to step  
> forward to
> conduct a week later a follow up meeting and a further meeting 4-6  
> months
> down the line.  Doesn't look like it will happen.
>
> It was really refreshing to see how easily people for the most part  
> took to
> this kind of facilitation and to see how much ground could be  
> covered in the
> space of a day.
>
> Overall, it was really palpable how in the space of less than a  
> year and a
> half- since the last time I was in Russia, living there- how time has
> speeded up even more and space is even more compressed. On the one
