<div dir="ltr">Dear Chris<div><br></div><div style>I recently did 200 doctors and patients in 3 hrs, and I'm about to do a follow up with 300 in the same time !!</div><div style>We offered stenographers roaving around the room to help with notetaking, and whilst we had the Newsroom for effect we didn't push participants to have to do their own writing up. The challenge was to move them from the circle to get started. I underplayed the time for merging sessions and marketplace so we kept it moving. The individual agenda sessions were set at 2 timeslots of 45 minutes each with no break. This was not ideal, and I don't know how it will work with an extra 100 people in the room. Time will tell.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I am hoping the medics will like Open Space so much that they will realise allowing it to breathe more will help</div><div style>I didn't stint on the time for the opening circle - because I needed to calm them after an hour of key note speeches which the medics insisted was also needed. They are reducing that front-end speaching this time round having seen the effect of Open Space.</div>
