<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Lisa & Harrison,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for sharing your thoughts and taking the
time to elaborate! Wow, the proceedings sound like an incredibly valuable
and powerful document!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I recently read Ricardo Semler's second book (The
Seven-Day Weekend: Changing the Way Work Works). I learned about him
through OSLIST. He runs his company in what sounds like an OS
environment. They are always looking to simplify and asking 'why'
questions. Reading the book seemed to seed my curiosity.
The proceeding seem to be the most labor intensive and I was looking to simplify
things if at all possible and valuable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Again thanks for investing the time to bring to
life for me the value of the proceedings. If you have not guessed I have
not experienced an open space event but believe in the power and would like to
use it in the future with clients.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Karen</FONT></DIV></DIV>

I have questions about the value of the proceeding. Do you find that
your clients really look at the book of proceeding afterwards? In the
spirit of simplifying I am wondering why <SPAN class=GramE>are the
proceedings</SPAN> done, as a compilation. It sounds like a lot
work. I am wondering if there is an easier way or if the book of
proceeding is even needed?</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></I></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">In my
experience, the Book of Proceedings (I echo here what Harrison said) provides
participants with this amazing and tangible reflection of all the incredible
hard and important work they did.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Even if it is not part of the design to produce the book in book form
before participants leave the event (in events I do we often get participants
their book within 2 weeks post-event) the notes are still posted all around
the room – evidence – and data – of their work.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And if there is some form of
convergence or action planning as part of the design, this data (whether on
the wall or in a book) is what they draw upon to identify their next actions
or topics.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">Often when
I originally talk with clients/sponsors they want some evidence of
achievements within the event – this is often the evidence, obvious to all and
a source of amazement and celebration for
everyone.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">I’ve found
that sending out the book within 1 or 2 weeks post-event actually rekindles a
physical-emotional reminder of the excitement and interchange that took place
during the event, and helps to move momentum forward
post-event.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">It is a
place where participants can reference to continue their networking, resource
sharing and meeting post-event.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">And it is
even a document that can be pulled off the shelf months later for contacting
people about similar topics.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">It is
evidence for a <SPAN class=SpellE>funder</SPAN> as to what they paid for (the
event or the participant’s participation in the
event).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">Additionally,
<SPAN class=SpellE>unattributed</SPAN> quotes can be taken from the book to
use in funding applications for future projects or
events.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">Plus it’s
the only way some folks are able to find out what went on at the groups they
were unable to attend – and indeed these notes can help them contact the group
that convened to give them more info or reconvene with them for further
discussion and action.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
