And Plans can change. Here are some thoughts that might move the changes along… First – The best Presentation on Open Space is “Do it!” Nothing else comes even close. Second – Doing a Presentation about Open Space<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><u>before</u><span class=apple-converted-space> </span>an Open Space creates all sorts of difficulties, none of which you want. No matter what you say, no matter how good you are – whatever you say will just confuse people. If they have never experienced Open Space, they simply won’t believe you. And if they have had the experience, they don’t need the explanation. Even worse, a Presentation up front will inevitably put the people in a “head” mode, thinking about the process. They will be wondering about other processes, potential modifications, what “they” say in the literature. All good thoughts, but definitely not needed at the onset of an Open Space. Just get on with the business, do what comes naturally, and forget about the process. After all it works all by itself. No help needed. And don’t try doing “just a little bit of Open Space” It is always frustrating, because just about the time you get rolling, it is time to stop. If these people really want to Celebrate – Go for it and make sure they have plenty of time/space for the occasion!</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>And then if they really want a Presentation, do it at the end. I assume you will have a closing circle and after the people have shared their comments, ask them by way of summary “What did you notice particularly about our time together that was strange, new, surprising, different? I think you will find that the People as a whole will create a marvelous presentation, and of course you can comment if you care to.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Trust me.
