[OSList] OST for evaluation

[R Chaffe via OSList]

Anne
I was asked to evaluate a major campaign costing in excess of AU $100 million dollars and I was allocated 3 hour opportunities to meet with groups.  I did it my way, Open Space, and the sponsor was very pleased.  The results were used to transform the business with some of the recommendations still being worked through 13 years later.  Do what you believe will generate the best outcomes, the participants mostly do not have any idea of process they just respond to invitations.  Open Space provides a wealth  of opportunities for effective engagement on many levels.  The length of time is not the issue it is how we use it!

Regards
Rob

The evaluation concerns the organization of the events and the events itself, in order to know what went well, what did not and have some hints for the following season. The events are festival districts sponsored by the city but mainly organized by volunteers with some fundings of the city. They take place all around the city, with second hand good sales, music, cultural events, food. They are very popular but were downsized this year due to a diminished budget allocation.
