Incentive to participate?

[Esther Ewing]

David:

I think your instincts are good ones. I believe that you should not offer
incentives beyond the one of having a say in how things happen in the
future. That should be just good enough.

Subject: [OSLIST] Incentive to participate?

 

My univ is considering using Open Space for strategic planning. The event
probably will need to be held at a time when faculty are not "officially" on
campus - before a term, during a term break, or after a term. The question
has come up about offering an incentive (e.g., nice meal, book purchase,
door prizes) to encourage faculty participation. A part of me wonders if
bribing people to attend (or rewarding them depending on your perspective)
goes against the grain of simply inviting faculty and staff to bring their
passion to the event because they care? I would greatly appreciate hearing
what folks on the listserv think. Thank you. David Cox
