I will let you know when I`ve done an open space with the whole shipyard: That`ll be the day! :-) :-)
( The top manager was there, and told me he wanted to join in for a while, but had to leave before we finished. He was the last one to leave....)

They may not be ship builders, but they are blue collar workers. I remember toward the end of this 2 1/2 day event, one of the network technicians speaking about how moving it was for him to run a breakout session. It was the first time he had ever been entrusted to do something like that.
