Collective Wisdom

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Nigel,
how about the classical approach?
The planning group for the os event developes a theme and you show them 
the design for a 3 hour open space:
-Welcome by the sponsor, 3 Minutes max
-Your introduction, issues announced and posted, marketplace, 45 Minutes
-3 breakout times, spaced 25 Minutes apart, 75 minutes
-Closing circle, 30 minutes
That leaves a few minutes slack for the unexpected.

Looking at the title and what the planning group expects as an outcome, 
you have to ask, of course, who all needs to be invited. Maybe they 
decide to open up their event in the final afternoon and invite, lets 
say, some important customers or whoever else could add to 
"diversity"...to let them have an impression on what kind of revolution 
is heading their way...

Everybody will have a blast.

Greetings from Berlin
