HI Anne, 

It’s been years since we’ve met, (Women’s Leadership OS, West Seattle, 2003?) and I always appreciate your comments here on the list. After HO, you provided one of my earliest roles models for opening and holding space. 

Given your ideas below, particularly the final paragraph, I think you, and possibly others on this list, will be interested in the book by Jutta Eckstein and John Buck, Company-wide Agiilty with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, and Sociocracy: Survive and Thrive on Disruption. Available on its home page https://www.agilebossanova.com <https://www.agilebossanova.com/> and from online book sellers.

Best wishes, 
Diana

It’s based on natural forms used in all cultures (invitation & welcome, bulletin board, marketplace, your individual market stall, your gift initiative, meeting in circles)  that signal gathering, community, belonging, and co-creation.

Eg: Appreciative Inquiry uses them SOMETIMES when the Convenors & Facilitator are willing to be open- not attached- to outcomes (thank you, dear Angeles Arrien!). Many really good teachers I know always open learning spaces. StoryBridge opens space via storytelling, improv, & theater performance.

> Holocracy IS a form of opening space for self organizing. And there’s at least one other the name of which I am not remembering now. Too bad there isn’t  more cross pollination between OST practitioners & the few conscious experiments in self organizing organization!!! By now I would think there should be.

> Since the pandemic started I have trained hundreds of people in facilitating better online meetings.I find there is much confusion creating different assumptions around online meetings.this goes for ordinary meetings as well as open-space technology used online.
> I often say that online meetings can be at least as impactful as physical meetings.this is partly because there are so many lousy physical meetings And my experience that online meetings can be really live nurturing and efficient. When I facilitate open space technology meetings online I  do my best to stay as close as possible to how I facilitate open space in physical environment. This means staying very close to ?the book?, by Harrison Owen (Open space technology, a users guide). Just as when I work physically I put much attention to the pre-work and follow-up.
> I see a risk that OST gets distorted online just as sometimes happens in physical meetings.the risk seems even higher online to me.

As a facilitator I work with the sponsor to find a physical space (where possible) that?s open and inviting and "fits" the invitation they?re making to the open space. But how lucky we were to walk into a space that was already built. We "just" had to put the chairs in a circle. (Note: I?m smiling when I say "just".)
> 
> I believe online the OS facilitator is part of building the "space" that people will enter virtually before you hold it for them. Key to building online space for impact simplicity, invitation and welcoming emergence are keys building space for impact (like with the facilitator?s script for "opening" the circle).

If there?s interest here I can post the links. Can also potentially add a meetup that?s more comfortable for people in timezones to the East of me?where it?s later.)

> One was a summit launching a collaborative. It would probably have been too expensive to meet in person with a group of 30 so this meeting wouldn?t have happened. If it had, I would have wanted two days for it. I had three hours with the group. The intent was to create a foundation and self-organize the work. They did it. New and deeper connections were formed, both expected and unexpected people took the lead as working groups coalesced around the things the sponsor hoped for and things she hadn?t thought of. They were thrilled. 
> 
> The second example is from an educator friend who had to move a class she?d taught for years online. Admittedly it wasn?t all classic open space (neither was the summit) but it was imbued with the spirit of open space. Not only did her students tell her that the classes were more meaningful than their other online classes, but the tangible results, as assessed by their papers, was the best she had ever received. In other words, her pedagogy, which incorporated Open Space online, produced more learning and integration of that learning than her in-person version of the class.

As a facilitator I work with the sponsor to find a physical space (where possible) that?s open and inviting and "fits" the invitation they?re making to the open space.
