> I enjoyed reading about my colleagues' Open Space workshops about Open
> Space - and thank you Kerry for inviting the question.****
>
> I smile when I think that if you attended each different colleague's

>
> ** **
>
> Some of my lessons learned:****
>
> ** **
>
> I find that the longer the workshop, the less diverse the participants.
> Participant feedback tells me that the more diverse individuals do not have
> so many days they can take off from their multiple jobs, step away from
> their schooling or organize their child's care. So my workshops are almost
> always 2, 2.5 or 3 days long.****
>
> ** **
>
> In my analysis of what would be the most useful given the time available
> for a workshop I look at all the things you can learn from reading, all the
> things you can learn from practice on your own, and all the things you can
> only learn best experientially with others. ****
>
> ** **
>
> I do not teach what can be learn from reading.****
>
> - I invite people to read Harrison's book, "Open Space Learning Workshop:
> A User's Guide" before they come to the workshop - even if they have
> learned Open Space or something like it from other sources, writings or
> experiences. ****
>
> ** **
>
> I do not teach what you can learn from practice on your own.****
>
> - I invite participants to connect into the OSLIST and other online
> communities and to their local communities of practice.****
>
> - I also host an OSonOS each year for anyone who has learned Open Space -
> my workshop graduates and everyone else - to join together in-person to
> deepen their learning.****
>
> - I connect participants to others who do Open Space in their region of
> the world.****
>
> - I remind them that the learning did not start with this workshop nor
> does it end at the end of the workshop - the learning and practice are
> life-long.****
>
> ** **
>
> What is left are those things which I find are most useful to offer in an
> experiential setting such as a workshop.****
>
> ** **
>
> Some topics I cover in the workshop and its materials:****
>
> ** **
>
> - A sense of what makes the full complete form of Open Space; when to call
> it Open Space and when you are using just a page from Open Space and do not
> need to call it that; what similar things are not Open Space****
>
> ** **
>
> - Deliverables of different-length OS events****
>
> ** **
>
> - Thoughts and questions for analysis with the client to decide what
> dialogue tool is a fit for the job ****
>
> ** **
>
> - Thoughts about how short is too short for Open Space - why many
> facilitators decide to select another tool if there is not enough time****
>
> ** **
>
> - Talking with a client about finding more time for an OS event****
>
> ** **
>
> - How morphing or hybridizing changes human dynamics and the flow of
> thought and often reduces the productivity and deliverables of an Open
> Space-like meeting****
>
> ** **
>
> - Thoughts about how a facilitator's passion for a method can sometimes
> their ability to truly listen to a client****
>
> ** **
>
> - How food and beverage, invitation strategy, signage and other details
> can support or lessen inclusivity, productivity, and idea-generation****
>
> ** **
>
> - A look at all the many interconnected elements of pre-work that can
> support and strengthen an Open Space event****
>
> ** **
>
> - Thoughts about how the brain works and why or why not to include action
> planning, pattern-seeking or next-steps identification in the same meeting
> as the Open Space****
>
> ** **
>
> - Lessons learned from clients about follow-up / sustaining the momentum
> and ideas generated from an Open Space event****

> ** **
>
> - Lessons learned about using Open Space for non-readers, in world
> conflict zones, in multi-language groups****
>
> ** **
>
> - Thoughts about Open Space and conflict transformation, about the

> and the people and what can result****
>
> ** **

> ** **
>
> - Reflection and thought about the facilitator's role and about each

>
> ** **
>
> - Thoughts about where each participant might use Open Space in their
> organization or community****
>
> ** **
>
> After the workshop...****
>
> - Participants receive their Book of Proceedings from their in-workshop
> Open Space conference****
>
> - They also receive follow-up notes from their workshops****
>
> - I offer lifetime feedback and support****
>
> - I share where to learn more about Open Space; remind the participants
> that the international community of practice is there for them 24 hours a
> day; and also remind them that different thinkers than myself may spark
> different thoughts or ways of doing things****
>
>  ****
>
> Some organizations or communities invite me to give this several-day
> workshop as a first step.****
>
> The second step is for the community of participants to help each other do
> one or more Open Space events. Time passes. Reflection happens. ****
>
> The third step is the organization or community bringing me back for
> further exploration of any specific areas identified by the participants.*
