Capturing the true essence of those conversations in the reports is almost impossible and while I trust that each will have a cellular memory of what they heard and spoke, I feel that we all want more. A “more” that is totally in the spirit of Open Space, self-directed and self-organized, not facilitated, led or interpreted by others. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Often, it is so foreign for people to engage as they do in Open Space, foreign to the typical ways that we know: meetings, workshops, conferences, etc. etc. I feel that people leave with a memory of something that happened that was so extraordinary and while the photos and documents do capture some of what took place, the way of anchoring this initial experience and building on it is not clear. Certainly, thinking and planning ahead as part of the pre-work with an intent to open space in the future is one way…though not always easy. As one Engineer PHD Scientist said once during morning news: “You can’t know Open Space until you experience it”. The conundrum then is that it’s not easy to discuss and plan future open spaces with a sponsoring host or team when you’ve never experienced Open Space in the first place. Regardless, I keep trying to build “what happens next” as part of the pre-work conversations, inspired much by Lisa Heft whose passion for pre-work knows no bounds.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Cheers on a Sunny Saturday in Florida,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Suzanne<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org [mailto:oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Nancy White<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, April 09, 2011 11:09 AM<br><b>To:</b> oslist@openspacetech.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [OSList] Knowledge sharing open space?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I have been trying some new things with knowledge sharing OS in terms of the harvest. The traditional notes are great, but we started doing some visual harvests (sometimes with post it notes, card sorting, sometimes with a graphic recorder, etc.) to start "connecting" conversations across sessions. This has proven useful because often the people coming together for the OS have TONS of knowledge to share, but less "line of sight" to the importance and value of the PRACTICES of knowledge sharing over time (and beyond the session). So while tons of knowledge can be shared during the event, the breakthrough possibility is shifting towards more ongoing knowledge sharing behaviors and practices over time. Does that make any sense?</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 11:03 PM, Methorst, Dicky <<a href="mailto:dicky.methorst@minbuza.nl">dicky.methorst@minbuza.nl</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lisa, you mention a book about knowledge sharing Open Space or Open<br>Space in university settings.
