<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>I have just committed to facilitate a 2 day meeting in
Open Space for a real <br>
estate firm . . . We have had much discussion about "givens" because
of the <br>
immense potential for for this very diverse group of people straying from the <br>
"theme" (Facilitating Real Estate agents is a bit like herding cats).<br>
<br>
We have 3 existing real estate offices, 1 office that has been in operation for
<br>
@ 2 months, and 2 offices in "incubation" due to open within the next
month . . <br>
. This meeting will have as its participants as many of the members of the <br>
"Agent Leadership Councils - ALC" of all 6 of these offices who care
to come. <br>
The ALC is the governing body of the individual office.<br>
<br>
The only "givens" we decided to give are the general framework for
the structure <br>
of the ALC (as directed by the corporate office) . . . This will be done with a
<br>
video-taped training session outlining the "purpose and scope" of an
ALC . . . <br>
in the FIRST hour of! our time together . . . then we will Open Space. Beyond <br>
that, we are cognizant of the fact that each individual ALC will go its own <br>
direction.<br>
<br>
Why have all of these ALCs together in this meeting?<br>
<br>
The thought was that intermingling all six groups in Open Space would create
the <br>
oportunity for synergistic thinking . . . faster growth, learning, development <br>
for all . . . It also creates the space needed for each ALC to gather apart
from <br>
the others for "planning/togetherness" . . . <br>
<br>
The real challenge was getting "buy-in" from the owner/leadership . .
. who were <br>
not sure that the "right" things would happen . . . Their question:
"Shouldn't <br>
we schedule a part of the meeting for all 6 groups together . . . and another <br>
part for them to separate?" - In other words, define a "given"
within the Open <br>
Space. I think we're beyond that - Trusting that the process will do it - ALL!<br>
<br>
Any advice/comments/validation . . . or whate! ver?<br>
<br>
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate such :-)<br>
<br>
