style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>Thanks so much Michael
and Lisa for your emails prior to the OS event I facilitated. I wanted to give
you a quick summary: <br>
<br>
The Open Space went really well; we had probably 500ish give or take there;
within about 5 minutes after I finished walking the inner circle and talking
about the process, there was a continuous long line going down one of the
aisles with people waiting to stand in the center and talk about the session
they wanted to convene!! <br>
<br>
The Marketplace took about 40 minutes. The OS sessions throughout the 3 days
were well attended; I ‘Closed the Circle’ after the afternoon of
the third day (when the conference time was wide open for Open Space) by having
us (this perhaps 80 people) stand in a circle; I passed the mike around and
asked everyone to say what OS meant to them and what they planned to do. Many
chose to talk. They acknowledged and appreciated each other. They talked about
how they wanted to use the process for other things back at work. They said how
cool it was to propose a topic that they knew nothing about and get a bunch of
people show up and share; or about the value of intimate networking. <br>
<br>
All and all, was good! I am now collecting retrospective comments from
committee members, and a few conferees have already commented on our <span
class=SpellE>Wiki</span> (which was only local during the conference and needs
to be integrated with the now available online <span class=SpellE>Wiki</span> -
one of the many logistical problems that plagued me in the planning). In a few
weeks, I’ll post the retrospective comments in the feedback/suggestions
section of the conference <span class=SpellE>Wiki</span>. <br>
