I've found that three hours works well for a post-OS meeting. Every one is different, and they are usually quite intense work sessions.<BR>
<BR>
Every follow-up meeting is different, some clients may have a single meeting, others have met regularly for months to make sure that recommendations and initiatives from the Open Space are carried on.<BR>
<BR>
Often, I begin by passing a talking piece to let participants say whatever they wish to say. Then I invite them to propose topics for discussion, as they did in Open Space. If the group is not too large, they may wish to discuss the topics sequentially, as a group, and they may wish to begin with topics they feel are especially important or urgent. These almost always lead to action steps, and I encourage them to decide "WHO will do WHAT by WHEN" to accomplish the action steps.<BR>
<BR>
A question that I often hear from participants in these follow-up meeting is "What do we want to be doing differently now, after the Open Space?" For me, that is always an exciting discussion.<BR>
<BR>
As Tree suggested, there will be time to do what is important.<BR>
