[OSList] 120 minutes of Open Space ..

[Harrison Owen]

Paul - Glad you enjoyed the Space. And the Canary Islands are one of my most
favorite places on earth.  As for Open Space . it is a mystery. I don't
think we have figured out why it always works, but the clues are out there.
Not to sell books, but if you want an updated version on my "take," check
out, Wave Rider: Leadership for High Performance in a Self Organizing World
(Berrett-Koehler, 2008). (Amazon will deliver digitally or hard copy).

Thanks Lisa,  for such a reference, just purchased the book.

 

After receiving your incredible piece of advice I have conducted this short
OS in Canary Island and I was so impressed with what was accomplished I must
get into the origin of this amazing principle of self organisation, why does
it always work?

 

Lisa, thanks so much for your help and I as you said, will be in spirit in
St Petersburg...

Yes indeed, Lisa - though I think it is our Now that expands us...

Doug - yes - I find that when I have hosted OSonOSs or other OS-based
facilitation conferences, this topic comes up every time.

 

Some of us have learned other diverse processes that are participant-driven
and nice for certain objectives and timeframes, some of us have designed
short-form processes, exercises and activities and field-tested them to
fine-tune them and know when they may best be appropriate. Always a rich
topic for sharing.

 

And I wouldn't say 'better', I'd say 'what different processes can we think
about for possible use when given a short-time-frame opportunity.'
Including Open Space, and also including additional options.

 

And hmmm. Paul, your reflection sounds like a Harrison Owen book I once read
- "Expanding Our Now"

(one of my favorites, HO...)

Or perhaps Time doesn't have length - only our perception of it ? Perhaps
Time has depth and resonance and maybe we open space for that ?

Lisa--

Yes, a topic for WOSonOS! Something like When the time is short, what is
better than OS?
