[OSList] Ang.: My first OS as a facilitator

[Blundell, Keith]

Hi Stefano,

In my experience in trying to introduce OS on the "inside" is that 
initial numbers tend to decline during the day.

I think the reason is around the invite not really being an invite.  
Dates for meetings are generally put in peoples calendars and that sets 
an expectation that you need to be there.  So some people turn up with 
no passion or desire to take responsibility, and once their curiosity is 
addressed tend to drift away.

But in my experience that is a good thing - those that remain are the 
catalysts to make something happen, and actually sometimes spark 
interest in the curious!

Have Fun.

Keith.

>>Dear all,
>>I'm new to this OS world. After my first, and unique, OS experience in 
>>Paris during last September (The Global Scrum Gathering) I came back 
>>home with the idea to adopt this kind of meeting in my company too.
>>On next March 31st my company's first Open Space meeting will take 
>>place and I'm going to be the facilitator. wow!
>>We'll be around 100 people and the theme is "how could we make our 
>>company a better place to work?"
>>If any of you have a suggestion to share with me, something that you 
>>would have been happy to receive before your first time as an OS 
>>facilitator, I think it would be really a gift for me.
>>
>>thanks all
>>Stefano
