<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">Thanks, Chris for your great document on
convergence. A few weeks ago, I spontaneously created a new form of
convergence with a group of about 20. I think it can work well with
groups of 60 or less, and perhaps with groups up to 100 or so.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I was intending to do what I always do these days - follow the energy and
re-open the space for what has heart and meaning for taking a next step.
Instead, because the meeting was intended to both give the group a
chance to bond as well as set priorities for their work, something else
emerged in the moment. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This was a first meeting of a diverse group that was dealing with a
challenging subject: the transformation of the field of corrections throughout
the USA. They had spent an evening sharing stories about their work and
a day in Open Space, exploring, "How can corrections, in collaboration with
other human services, help cultivate a strong and healthy society?". The
last morning, we began with a conversation about their work together as a
prelude to opening the space to identify their priorities (as established by
the sessions that were called).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>One participant was very concerned whether this "arbitrary" approach of
following the energy would lead to the best priorities. I suggested that
we see what emerged and then determine whether a more rational approach should
be employed. Given the culture of the group, I sensed in that moment
that the people in the room needed to know where each other stood - what each
of them would choose as a priority. And since bonding was part of the
purpose of the gathering, I asked each of them to write on a sheet of paper
the inquiry they felt was more important to pursue, the subject they
personally felt most passionate about. No one hesitated. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Once they were done writing, each read his or her topic aloud. Then they
physically got up and moved to join with others who had said something related
to their topic. The landed in 2 groups, split about 1/3 and 2/3rds.
This degree of coherence was quite stunning for them. They went
off to talk about their topics. When they returned, we checked in, as
promised, on whether these were the best priorities. The group was
almost giddy with excitement. No question. They were clear they
had the right priorities.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>another great day (or two) in Open Space,</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hi friends...my little redux is by no means the be all and
end all of convergence approaches. The mother of all convergence
approach documents is at Lisa Heft's site, and if you are looking for
ideas, that ought to more than suffice to whet your appetite.

<P>Hi friends:</P>
<P>I was just putting together some materials for an Open Space training
workshop I'm doing in Prince Rupert, BC on Friday and I compiled three
useful approaches to facilitating action planning in Open Space.
The first is my own version of moving to action, the second
is <A
href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/news/2008/04/28/finishing-with-impact-and-energy/"
target=_blank>Diana Larsen's approach to prioritizing ideas by impact
and energy</A> and the third approach is Jack Martin Leith's
approach to project planning, which he blogged <A
href="http://www.jackmartinleith.com/?page_id=156"
target=_blank>here</A>. </P>
<P>The three are in <A
href="http://chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/three-action-planning-approaches.pdf"
target=_blank>an easy to download .pdf</A>.
