<DIV><SPAN class=062040423-25012006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I´ve used a similair approach on
occasions lately. But I´ve used flipcharts with headers (Issue I will move
forward. Name. Who will join?) actually learnt this from Birgitt years ago but
didn´t use it so much until recently. Lately I put these flipcharts up at the
start so whenever an action item appears is the right time and action-space is
ready. Your email sparked an idea that I may try soon. First to make it more
like a market place and to put a small table at the action market place with
papers and different coloured pens and maybe prepare the space in some more
creative way to look really inviting.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

we have great winter days with lots of snow over here in west Sweden which is
not that usual.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Frölunda Indians are a disaster right now, although still in second place;-)

OSLIST@LISTSERV.BOISESTATE.EDU<BR><B>Ämne:</B> Action
marketplace<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>In my continuing quest to find ways to
support action coming out of OST events, I put together a little thought for
a client today which I thought I'd share with you folks...<BR><BR>The
conference we are doing is two days of talk and networking on Fetal Alcohol
Syndrome. A couple of hundred people will be coming together to
discuss what they are doing and to find others interested in their
work. It is a learning conference with no expectation for anything
concrete, like a strategy opr a statement, but rather the importance is on
maximizing face time between practitioners. Something like an
OSonOS.<BR><BR>Some of the folks on the planning committee though want to
support action that does flow from the conference and they have asked for
the container to hold some energy and intention for this without the
conference becoming about 200 people trying to come up with one action
plan. No need for prioritising or even a non-convergence type
reopening of the space. I think this is a very real need and a very
realistic expectation.<BR><BR>So today we started playing with two ideas,
one new and one old. The old one is to simply add to the small group
summaries form a place for people to record next steps. The new idea
is to create an action market place next to the news wall. This is no
more complicated than a community bulletin board, in that people can feel
free to post any bits and pieces of action that they want to invite others
to join. The advantage of this system is that it allows a finer grain
of action to come forward, so for example, while there may be some
conversations that emerge in the event about what to do next, the action
market place could hold much smaller pieces that would otherwise be
lost. Action around a follow up conference would stand alongside an
invitation to join one or two people in writing a new brochure, or meeting
for coffee next week to continue a conversation. <BR><BR>I think this
approach could work in all OST gatherings, and might even be especially
useful in gatherings where action planning is a part of the process.
Then you end up with action planning taking the group in one large general
direction, but the individual passion and responsibility for little things
also in
play.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Chris</BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
