Congratulations Kathleen - a big breakthrough into the space....<br>
I have experienced many of these 'combo-events' and they have worked
really well. <br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Day 2 from 8:30 - 3:00 will be
OS with 90 - 100 people. This day is usually called All Staff Meeting and
is mandatory. Their question to me is how do they balance the mandatory
nature of this meeting with the "invitation" approach of Open
Space that sounds optional. I have begun formulating some answers but
feel out of my league and thought "why not ask the listserv
folks?"</blockquote><br>
I am currently working with such an agency to prepare an invitation for
'all staff' to come to the annual 'retreat day' which will be held in
OS...<br>
this has traditionally been a compulsory attendance event and the sponsor
is having 'serious fun' working through the implications of 'invitation'
- <br>
and I think that this is the key part of the process - get the question
and the language of invitation right and the rest will happen -
regardless of the implicit or explicit requirement to be there. The Law
of Mobility will take care of that in any event... ;-)<br>
Anyhow, for what its worth, in this case the question is shaping up
around<br><br>
<i><x-tab> </x-tab>What's
worth talking about with each other? <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>or Walking
Our Talk - let's do it! <br><br>
</i>I can send you the invitation when finalised if you wish - meantime,
trust the process of clarification that is happening within (and between)
the sponsor and yourself.<br>
Cheers<br>
Brendan<br><br>
