Hello From Bill Warner & More About the MassTLC Innovation 2009 unConference

[Lisa Heft]

Hi, Bill - that's what I understood you to say (Open Space  
unconference) - and yes, when you first mentioned this I visited the  
blog, saw the photos and feel like I understood the full spectrum of  
the event and the activities within it - because you described and  
photographed it so well.  *However* - I also understood you to say you  
were inquiring about whether there was an easier way to match  
entrepreneurs with 'experts'.  And that portion of your question is  
what I replied to - what I'm saying is - try letting it all happen in  
Open Space. All of it.  All.

And I'm guessing that is what dear Harrison may have recommended, as  
well in your conversation with him - yes?

However, I also 'hear' you are very connected to and excited about  
*exactly* how the entrepreneur-expert non-OS part went. Really really  
loved every element of it. Loved describing it, loved being a part of  
it, loved the puzzle of putting it together in the way you did.
So my question to you: do you realllllly want to let go and trust that  
that, too, will happen as it may, if you invite all the fabulous  
people, without your organizing it in the way you did?  In spite of  
your naming how much time it took, are you (a Devil's Advocate  
question) perhaps really invested in it happening the same way it (the  
matchmaking with 'experts') did? If so, don't experiment.  All is well.

And, if it's too much work, a) get others to help you, b) be joyful in  
the work or c) let it go...no?

Just a thought,
Lisa
