>> Previous Advices from mmp~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>>
>> Dear Spark,
>> for your Process I suggest the following:
>>
>> -try to create a theme that supports action since OST is an action
>> orienting
>> planning method and involves the participant. I would suggest one but am
>> puzzled by what "High Performance Sustainability" might mean.
>> Perhaps: "Creating High Performance Sustainability"...but I think it is a
>> bit too complex...you might try a theme that Harrison Owen regularly uses
>> in
>> his workshops on introducing OST and, thinking of it, it might means the
>> same thing you have in mind "Creating Organisations that work" (this
>> contains a nice play on the word "works" since it can mean both
>> "function",
>> as in "functions well" as also "produces" in the sense that there is an
>> output).
>>
>> -you should have always at least three breakout sessions so that there is
>> more variety of issues and that people have more than an either or
>> choice...just reduce the time for each session. By stating only the
>> beginning time and not the end time you emphasize the idea that the time a
>> session will take is selforganized and follows the fact of life "When it
>> is
>> over it is over / when it is not over, it is not over. So here is my
>> suggestion:
>>
>> 10:00 Break out session 1
>> 10:45 Break out session 2
>> 11:30 Break out session 3
>>
>> -skip the reflection but suggest that during lunch would be a great time
>> to
>> sit together with the food and talk about what people experienced on their
>> tables or the small groups that might form during lunch.
>>
>> -to support the selforganisation of time I suggest you have a phase where
>> people can have a "reflective lunch" from 12:00 until 13:00...some will
>> take
>> lunch at 12 some at 12.15 some at 12:30 and some will even skip it
>> because
>> they are in a heated discussion in a breakout session...selforganized
>>
>> -at 13:00 create "facilitation teams" (if there are 25 participants, you
>> might create 5 teams of 5 participants each) that have 45 minutes to
>> prepare
>> for running an os event. You dont make any input just give them a sheet of
>> paper with their tasks: Formulate a theme for the os they will facilitate,
>> decide who will be the facilitator, make a design for the introduction
>> which
>> they had just seen which will include 3 breakout sessions and a closing
>> circle, here is what it might look like
>>
>> 13:00 Very short introduction for "Practicing OST"
>> 13:05 Creating x number of Facilitation Teams, handing out instructions,
>> 5 minutes to read and understand the instructions, 5 minutes for
>> questions
>> 13:15 Teams prepare for facilitation
>> 14:00 Select one team that will actually do the faciliation
>> 14:05 Open Space run by the selected team will be set up and starts at
>> 14:15 and ends at 17:15 (same amount of time as for the os in the morning
>> but the selected team decides on the time structure)
>> 17:15 Closing Circle (this is to close the Open Space they just
>> experienced)
>> 17:45 Feed back for the active team by all the other participants on the
>> OST
>> they just experienced (thinsk we felt were great, things that could be
>> improved, etc.) 18:00 Close
>>
>> In this fashion, everybody actively got ready for running an OST event and
>> in that way can appreciate what the selected team does...serving for a
>> base
>> for the feedback at the very end.
>> Also, since there is no input, participants really have to use their own
>> ressources...which will give them a deep experience with the power of
>> self-organisation.
>>
>> Curious to hear how you will run this challenging event!!
