<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Century Gothic"><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic"'>You might be interested to
know that this particular emphasis in Open Space came right straight from <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sweden</st1:place></st1:country-region>. A very
old friend and colleague, Gustaf Delin – resides in Sigtuna -- would talk
endlessly about “voluntary self-selection” and it stuck. He and his
colleagues in The Foresight Group were very instrumental in the development of
Intrepreneurship. And in fact they created the first school for Intrepreneurs
in the world right there in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sweden</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
And a prime principle for them was/is voluntary self-selection. As I got deeper
into Open Space (what a way to go?) it seemed to me that the same principle
applied. And so I stole it with not a thought. As it turns out, I will be
visiting Gustaf in December, between my programs in <st1:State w:st="on">Berlin</st1:State>
and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Helsinki</st1:place></st1:City>. I
will let him know that Voluntary Self-Selection lives on and is deeply
appreciated.</span></font><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p>

hold breakfast meetings to present OST as a taster around the topic about
"How to create commitment in your organizations". The participants
were managers from different companies. The sponsors was a union for managers
(yes you read it right - we do have that in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Sweden</st1:country-region>
:) ) and a <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Swedish</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Business</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">School</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.
When the invitation was sent out they where kind of overloaded with people
signing up for the event. And as the location was kind of a given – we
decided to have both breakfast and lunch meeting. There were between 24 to 75
people in total 6 meetings in 3 days in the 3 major cities in <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sweden</st1:place></st1:country-region>! In
total 274 people who had a taster of OST for the first time! </span></font><span

written information about OST to the participants beforehand so that they had a
chance to learn a little bit more before the workshops. The information was
about what is Open Space Technology – explaining the principles, the law,
that the participants create the agenda, when to use OST etc. This information
was also available at the workshop when the participants arrived together with
some of <st1:place w:st="on">Harrison</st1:place>’s books, a folder of
OST that I had made up and an “OST quiz” – an idea I got from

shorter than I am used to – didn’t tell so much about the
background of OST as I use to do. Then the agenda setting was quite short and
the marketplace “buzz” even shorter. All this 3 done in 30 minutes.
In the time matrix there was of course only one breakout session but I made it
visible how it could have been by putting up “empty” post-it notes
besides the actual one. Then we had one 35 min breakout session. Reports were
made on flipcharts paper, and put up on the news wall. Then back to the
collective circle were I had put up a flipchart paper with “what could
you achieve if you had; 4 hours - 1 day, 1, 5 day, 2, 5 days of OST”. And
then I talked a little about the role of the facilitator.</span></font><span

this my first intention was to have 2 even shorter breakout sessions but I am

to the issue” etc etc. i.e. very positive feedback. Some thought of
course that it was too short but that they were very positive and some said
“we had done it all wrong back home when we appointed members to our

lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic"'>For myself
– I found it a big challenge to have 2 OST meetings so close to each
other – just 1,5 hours between breakfast and lunch - I had problem
knowing when I said what, like “have I already said that now or was
it in the breakfast meeting?”. Time was of course too short – and
of course should we have had more time for the agenda setting – with 75
people not knowing each other you definitely need more than 10 minutes! So
there was between 6 to 10 topics posted. And the smaller the group – the
more topics. </span></font><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p>
