Thaks for giving us the oportunity to learn together with you, Thomas!

Interesting situation, and also very special that you have this second opportunity to do adjustments.

One possibility I see is to name the challenges in the opening circle. As I see it that would be a way to empower the people in the circle even more. Friday. Blurry message, challenges about going deeper into a development process, you will know what the situation is. By naming it and acknowledging it different things might happened and emerge out of the wisdom in the circle...

Look forward to hear about your choice and experience :-)

All the best
Hege

Every August they have 1-2 days with all employees. Last year we had 2 full days (twice with half the staff each time) in OST resulting in a total of 23 action plans implemented by self managed workgroups. We have had follow up meetings reporting the progress from teams that now have dissolved or are still working. Their business (a hospital) now runs really smoothly, producing well over targets with energy and high spirit.
> Out of different reasons the message for the first of this years conferences (one full day, next Friday is the next - for the other half of the staff) was a bit blurry (in my opinion/how I experience it) so the energy was not so high (setting agenda was really slooooow, didn't experience anything like that in the hundreds of events I have facilitated!) and some thought the day was a bit boring/slow. At the end most who were still there were happy(some left early - long day on Friday is not a good choice either)  - 9 action plans with concrete improvements! I used re-opening space, so it was all by invitation (-:
