<DIV><SPAN class=703473920-28042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Well
here's a story.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=703473920-28042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=703473920-28042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>My
second formal opening of space was for a number of my colleagues at a lodge up
in the mountains of the Southern Alps of New Zealand. We all wanted to get
together for a workshop to network, share ideas and look at ways to take
environmental education forward in our organisation. I decide my contribution
would be to facilitate the workshop in open space.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN
class=703473920-28042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The sponsor was
open to the idea, and although I weren't able to physically meet we did the
sponsorship pre work over the phone. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=703473920-28042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=703473920-28042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
workshop duly began. People converged at the venue from all over the South
Island of New Zealand. We had 2 days, comprising 5 sessions, a break, and
then time for convergence and action planning. All went seemingly well. I opened
the space in fear and trembling in front of my colleagues and people got to work
as always (so I'm told). If their was any dissension it was from a few of
the older folk who had been around and seen it all. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=703473920-28042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<DIV><SPAN class=703473920-28042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>After
a busy day and a half we came to convergence. Tensions were running high with
the sponsor. The book of proceedings had run a little late and a few folks were
giving me sideways glances and murmuring to the sponsor. Once the
book of proceedings had been read and with everyone sitting in the
circle I explained the process (dots, reconvening action planning sessions
etc. ). At this point the sponsor delivered an ultimatum and said the group
hasn't had time altogether and she wanted to run a session with everyone
together. I must admit this wasn't altogether surprising. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=703473920-28042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=703473920-28042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I knew
instinctively she was invading the space. However not having a vast wealth
of experience in opening space I simply reminded the group that there was a
process for action planning if they wanted to use it, and left the dots and
action planning sheets in the centre of the circle. The sponsor took over from
there. After about an hour of fidgeting in absolute frustration a few
younger group members exploded into using the dots and prioritizing the topics
posted. Unfortunately their time had run out and people needed to
leave.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=703473920-28042004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Later on I asked the sponsor why she felt the need to do what
she did. Her answer "I don't believe in following just one process, open space
is only a process" </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: red; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">The simple
answer to your question is that the participants decide. And they do and they
will. The function of the facilitator (or at least my function when
facilitating) is to keep the space open so that a decision can be made. This
can be interesting, if only because the Space Invaders in my experience are
mostly interested in closing the space down. Things become particularly
interesting if the Space Invader, by whatever name, happens to be the
President of the Company. Suddenly it occurs to him or her that things are
getting out of control - and in words of some sort he/she says, "Folks, It's
my way or the highway." Space closed.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Courier New" color=red size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: red; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">Such an action
(and I have only seen it happen once or twice) eliminates all possibility of
discussion, decision - and of course Open Space. As the facilitator, this puts
me in a very curious spot. I have come (and committed to) open space. Unless
the Space Invader shows up in the first moments (which I have never seen),
certain promises have been made implicitly and explicitly. You (the
participants) are important. What you think is important. Your issues are
important - all of that has been communicated to the participants. And I have
been very central in that communication. If nothing else it now becomes a
matter of my integrity, to say nothing of the integrity of the Open Space. So
what to do?</SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: red; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">It really is
not my meeting. And so if everybody just wants to sit there and be miserable -
that is obviously their choice, and they will make it. I see it as my
responsibility to open the space up sufficiently so that a choice can be made,
and simultaneously, everybody can recognize that they are making a choice -
even if they sit there and do nothing. How to do that will vary with the
situation.</SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">back on the web after
three weeks off I am overwhelmed by some 300 postings to be read. And more and
more are coming in each day. I started answering your mail before I left but
didn't have the chance to send it any more. Sorry for my being late - but I
decide to write late better than not at all - loving your idea of sharing our
mistakes, ups, our learnings ;-)</SPAN></FONT><BR><BR><FONT face="Courier New"
size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">Opposite to
Harrison I agree with you. So if I believed in the idea of space invaders
(which for me is a theoratical construction I don't like very much - who
decides when space is invaded and when not?) I'd say you did invade - I guess
already by asking the question. Questions open. But on the other hand they
lead (in german we have this saying: "Wer fragt, der führt" = "who is asking
is leading"). And should not the participants of an open space be their own
leaders?</SPAN></FONT><BR><BR><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN

good reasons (and of course there was one) could have been that the

couldn't wait till they found their own problem-serving-strategy. And as you
said: He was totally convinced to serve the system.</SPAN></FONT><BR><BR><FONT

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">Facilitating a
prepatory-meeting some weeks ago I tried to convince the planing-commitee to
invite additional people by saying "I as a facilitator would include...".
First I thought this was only because of my being attached to the outcome and
my fearing the group might be to small for finding out the suitable theme. And
later I took a deeper look into myself and discovered a second reason: I had
prefered doing something else on the date we fixed and by including these new
people the date would have been defered. And I didn't want to let go of my
other plans without being sure the prep-meeting was going to be
sucessful.</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN

</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN

</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN

client was a national association, the issue an internal conflict
-</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN

basically concerning the interface between the national Board of

chairman opened and clearly stated the issue, ending with
something</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN

like:</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN

?".</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN

would pass by when returning from lunch saying "What is the

after lunch, someone posted the missing topic (at the time

in a room I never had though could contain so many

was the closing circle that really got me.</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT

first person said "I am quite willing to say what I have to say,

</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN

not help myself. I felt all that had been achieved was at
risk</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN

going down the drain again.</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New"
color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">> So I
forgot to hold on to the armrests of my chair and invaded
the</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN

</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN

was</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN

silence.</SPAN></FONT><BR><FONT face="Courier New" color=black size=2><SPAN
