specifically geared to Open Space. Brian Burt, CEO and Founder of MaestroConference, and I were on the phone for about
30 minutes this afternoon. It was a “jump right in” kinda conversation
with lots of give and take. No doubt about it, MaestroConference has been
giving this some thought and Brian Burt knows the process, principles and
language of Open Space.<br><br>
In some cases their technology is there and stuff could happen right away;
other things need to be figured out and then of course, you can’t totally
replicate an in-person experience of Open Space so a hybrid virtual adaptation
would need to be developed.<br><br>
We talked about the big picture of a Virtual Open Space Social Webinar platform
that would allow hundreds and even thousands of people to participate. We also
discussed some of the challenges; for example: “can you really have a virtual
conversation with 50 people on-line engaged in one topic or would we need to
break into smaller groups” and “how could we manage a post-it board with time
and place”. <br><br>
Brian’s plan, along with other folks at Maestro Conference, is to host a <b>Virtual
Open Visioning Event</b> this Fall inviting lots of people (it would be
terrific if many joined) from the Open Space community and folks in the
technology world (major users of Open Space) to engage in working conversations
around the interface, the implementation, the applications of where and how a virtual
OS could be used, the invitation process and so much more.<br><br>
What I was able to convey to Brian is that there are many practitioners in this
worldwide OS community, including the OSI US Board, who are interested and
excited about having a virtual Open Space platform. I’ll be the first to say
that I’m not the expert (nor the leader) in that regard but I certainly have
the passion and am willing to roll up my sleeves with others to help make it
happen. <br><br>
At Brian’s request, I’ve agreed to lend a hand if people want to advise off
list that they are interested, feel free to email me. You can also do it
publicly on the OS list and I’ll keep track. MaestroConference is also
interested in knowing if anyone has people they’d recommend who should be
invited to the Fall Event.<br><br>
In anticipation of the Virtual Open Visioning Event being planned, perhaps we
can continue the conversations on our OS list sharing what we would hope to
see, what questions we have, how we may want to contribute to this
effort. My specific interest related to the virtual technology is
having the ability to host post-events after a face-to-face Open Space,
continuing the conversations and driving some of the actions and initiatives that participants identified.<br><br>
