[OSList] 1,000 participants in 4 hours

[Scott Gassman]

Hi Sharon Joy,

Thanks for sharing your opportunity and provoking our experience and
imagination.
Lisa has given you great tips, great food for thought. For me the joy of a
laid back
OS alters when I must manage tighter time frames, larger numbers and
logistics. I
want people to see what they can get done when they are focused and led
through
well planned OS tasks.
I think about the outcome/purpose the client/group wants to walk away with.
I try to
get clear on their goal(s)/desired outcomes. I am fond of design teams
preceding
any large group initiative. I would bring together 5 to 10 vertically
positioned
influencers as soon as possible and preceding the get together and confirm
sought
desired outcomes, I would then ask them to brainstorm a list of important
topics
for this conversation and to rework the list into a vital few examples. I
would also
encourage this group to recognize the significance of their role and to
serve as
spark plugs to get the large group moving forward.
However the session is opened, I would include a design team member or two
to share their
hopes and aspirations for this meeting, and to briefly share the list of
topics as examples
for the 1,000 others to raise what matters most to them per the "high
performance
system"sought.

This is a great opportunity for your government to work together.
I also look forward to learning about your experience and next steps.
