Thanks Harrison!<div><br></div><div>Your words and Jeff's give me encouragement to be more assertive in my instincts. I have been good about meta-awareness of the "struggle", etc, and my need to hold ground and to not do a "little bit of open space", but then I did find myself starting to consider certain concessions under the good-natured, but somewhat intense and repetitive insistence of the one principle. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I think I will just put on the "in charge" hat - in a totally non-defensive or challenging way of course, and I can do that sincerely b/c I am in that space on this and I think I can get through today w/o interference.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If they are uncertain for tomorrow, I can do as you say and hand the reins back to them for designing it.</div><div><br></div><div>You are right about the "little bit of OS" being frustrating! Last night when they started doing their sharing of learning items, you could feel the excitement and engagement - and I was thining, "yep, see, they are digging this", BUT it was still being bottlenecked by one person at the helm trying to manage it....I will take care of that at least for one day!<br>
<br>we unfortunately only definitely have one day, but may have two - we'll see!</div><div><br></div><div>oh, and glad to get rid of sticky dots in a way....it did seem like an area for possible extra confusion and energy lagging. </div>

POW!! Three days is more than enough time for lots to happen – doing things just like we always do. That said, it sounds like you senior management is having a little nervous bit, and second thoughts and new program design. If it were me, I would gently tell management that They asked for an Open Space. I intend to do an Open Space – and if they want an alternate program, that is certainly their right, but I can’t help them. No need to be insulting, even defensive. Just tell them like it is. And for sure don’t get yourself pushed into a corner where you are supposed to do a “little bit of Open Space,” “modified Open Space.” Doesn’t work and frustrates everyone. Have fun. Deep breath, and all that.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

</div><div><div class="h5"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">ok, so I just asked a question re: the need for prioritization of issues and an overwhelmingly large pool of issues in my previous post. <u></u><u></u></p>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I guess part of the answer is sticky dot voting. Cool. I will have to improvise asking people to keep track of their dots using markers since I will have no time to get dots, but that should be ok in a small gorup of 13...not ideal - other thoughts on this are welcome. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">my questions are - is it ok to do prioritization at outset of day 1? And, if so, would it be better to first generate a marketplace w/o times selected and prioritize them, then have initiators select time/place? or vice versa - neither sound ideal to me. <u></u><u></u></p>
