[OSList] From Open Space to objectives and key results (OKRs)?

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Jake,

seems there is a lot of stuff that you busy yourself with that might be 
better dealt with by the sponsor of the event and the Planning Group for 
the event.

My experience is that after assisting the sponsor in finding out whether 
ost (check the 5 or so prerequisites) is what is needed from his point 
of view for whatever sticky isssue he needs to deal with the next step 
is to have the sponsor install a Planning Group. This group needs to be 
in some way a microcosm of what is expected to be the mix at the event. 
Usually, that would be the sponsor himself and a few more folks that are 
affected by the main issue directly and indirectly. Also, usually I 
facilitate the meeting of the Planning Group. It usually meets just once 
and then is in charge of working up to the event.

Any time you find yourself worrying about what might be usefull for the 
process or feeling you are shortcutting stuff, you are working too hare.

Now, all this sage advice might be of little use for you considering you 
are already too far down the stretch. But there is always the 
possibility to go back in case I realize something is awkward or 
whatever or requires my energy that should really come from the client. 
When I was in a situation like that and did go back, it never backfired. 
On the contrary, it secured a much better procedure for everyone... all 
in accordance of the wisdom in your signature
"When the mind is quiet, the sun of your heart will shine once again, 
and you will be free of problems."


Have a great day
