[OSList] Implementation of Initiative Stage

I have also found it helpful to have the date & details of a follow-up meeting (2-3 months after, maybe) worked out before the initial convening, so that folks proposing/working topics for action know they’re working the topic for that period of time, then regrouping for an after-action review and update to their action plans. It seems to help with momentum, even if it is at the last minute before the follow-up. A gentle reminder email to conveners also helps volunteers who otherwise get busy with the rest of life.

Very good question. In my experiences with gatherings of volunteers, we have tried to design a "convergence" phase of the OS meeting. How to increase the opportunities for people to self-organize into action teams? Who might continue to work together, motivated by their values and shared purpose? 

 

Offering a new round of "open space for action" seems to work. Folks will gather around new topics for action, and talk and make a plan to meet again. 

 

Some of these new action groups have continued for years, other groups don't meet again. The outcomes of learning, connecting, motivating, etc are pretty good outcomes. 

 

Warmly

Jeff

Thanks Jeff for your answer, actually me and Gilad, who raised a similar question on face book,  are students of Tova and part of same studying teem. 

This challenge, we are dealing with, refers to considerations to take while implementing OST with community members or volunteers odience.  Namely with not a clear managment to sponcer or lead. 

Are there any considerations you would suggest?

 

Happy new year and all the best!

Hi Anat. It's a very good question to consider, every time we use Open Space! The answers will depend on many factors, as each situation is different. 

 

Can you say more? Do you have a specific case in mind? A specific concern or opportunity? (Are you part of the group studying with Tova and friends? Another student is asking similar questions on the facebook group.) :)

 

Warmly

Thanks for sharing:

What practices and Organizational setting helped you during implementation of initiatives stage, after OST meeting?

How did you keep the energy and enthusiasm? How did you manage the execution stage?
