<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi, Keith, and all -<div><br></div><div>Keith - you *can* have an Agenda (8:00a coffee and welcome, 8:30a 'Plenary Session', 9:30-5:00 'Working Sessions', 5:00 'Closing Plenary', 'lunch will be included' ) - however you would say those things in the particular vocabulary of your organizational culture. And you *can* mention content, in a way - you can craft an invitation that has intriguing questions - the things you know folks are always puzzling about regarding the ... reason for bringing these people together. And you can focus your invitational efforts on helping individual folks know that their diverse thinking, passion for the work and presence at this event are both welcome and will enrich this interdisciplinary, interdepartmental (or however you see it) work. Again: in the language of the culture you work within.</div><div><br></div><div>The invitation - the text, strategy (for different people, different messages / different strategy) and the very nature of ongoing invitation is key to any dialogue event. As you interact with the individuals you want to invite, it because clear to them that they are needed, wanted, welcomed, and that their special viewpoint or skill or different way of thinking is key to your team's success. </div><div><br></div><div>Oh yes, and you get to invite them to the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area (I live here so I am a bit in love with the place).</div><div>And hey - they can take field trips !</div><div><br></div><div>Seems to me those are plenty of reasons for people who want specificity to feel energized and excited about attending.</div><div>That and - the perfect thing for scientists and others - the output of the documentation component which is a natural part of Open Space - the Book of Proceedings - narrative data.</div><div><br></div><div>In your invitations I would recommend not mentioning the process much or at all - most people do not care at all about process - they care about content, and about relationships. Those intriguing questions in your invitation engage people about the content.</div><div><br></div><div>Open Space as you may know has been used very successfully with scientists of all different kinds. It's just about using the right tool for the job (analyzing if the time, task, and lots of other details inform the selection of Open Space) and framing things in a language your culture and community relate to. And: ensuring that your Open Space meeting is long enough to deliver the deliverables and objectives you seek (different-length Open Space meetings yield slightly different deliverables - 1/2 day, full day, 2 day, 2.5 day). And: about not promising action or next steps if you really are better served spending the time in exploration, discovery, data / idea generation and divergent / diverse thinking - pausing (perhaps going home to their respective locations) - having folks receive their data / Book back afterwards - reading it, integrating the data, reflecting - and then (with the mechanisms you probably have for inviting surveys or other responses virtually / electronically - making more informed, realistic identification of next steps or decisions after they've rested, reflected and integrated the info. </div><div><br></div><div>As for the loss of control part - the sorts of leaders who welcome Open Space (or will welcome, as they learn about it) are those who say 'I do not know the answers - but I feel that collectively there is rich knowledge here - and our product / company will benefit from tapping into that knowledge and experience'. Other leaders may feel anxiety - very normal in a new circumstance. You can assure them there is form, structure, pre-work, documentation - all designed for maximum productivity. You can use it for only the right reasons / objectives that fit the form. You can have a chat with the managers about not facilitating all the groups but instead, being real individual participants and understanding their own power dynamic - if they are 'helpy' and 'leader-y' during the event they may erase the participants' ability to step forward and be co-leaders, and they may never have the opportunity to notice that some of those participants should indeed be noted as potentially greater human resources to the organization than thought before.</div><div><br></div><div>Lastly - I find that even in a meeting where a staff is required to attend - Open Space allows for every individual to take very good care of themselves, and to use the time in the way they feel is most productive for them. Some will engage, some will have 'butterfly conversations', some will not join groups, some will. Even the individual thinkers in Open Space are encouraged to contribute their different thinking to the Book of Proceedings - an option for them that honors them just as much as people who join groups. And because it's not a linear, 'business-as-usual' meeting - they usually find things / groups / topics that engage them. So in my experience - sure, the ideal is for attendance to be voluntary - but this form welcomes people in all their ways of showing up, and gives them the gift of feeling how they feel and thinking how they thing.</div><div><br></div><div>Pretty productive, I'd say...</div><div><br></div><div>Warm wishes for great success in your event,</div><div>Lisa</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
