dynamic facilitation (was my first OS)

[Raffi Aftandelian]

hi all,

bui, congratulations on your first os!

Thanks for sharing and I look forward to hearing more.

Your experience with this small group reminded me of my own questions about
the efficacy of ost with a smaller group and shorter time frame.

I don't know what works best in a situation like this, a lot of it depends,
I imagine on the desired outcome.

I've been rather impressed myself by the power of dynamic facilitation (DF)
with smaller groups and shorter time frames. It allows people to talk about
whatever they want, whenever, to jump around and "drill," as it were, to get
to the heart of the question. 

Typically, however, one works the whole time in large group. But I am sure
that DF could be adapted to bring in the flexibility of OS in terms of
concurrent groups.

another piece about DF is that the facilitator can participate! she/he can
turn it over to a "participant" for the facilitator to say her piece after
which she starts facilitating again...

just some rough thoughts...

warmly, 
raffi
