font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; ">First off, the 1,000 participants in 4 hours, is definitely pushing through in Cebu. As its a big event, theres a team that's helping me and doing much of the pre work on the ground. The venue is a huge hotel ballroom enough to accommodate over 2,000 so space is not much of a worry. I was shown pictures, the ballroom is squarish with high ceiling. Now here's the catch, initially we thought of deploying balloons much like how Michael has done in Germany some years back. But the hotel won't allow balloons inside the hall, and also do not permit sticking anything on the wall. So, we are left with following options: either to use the laundry line complete with laundry clips or placards, which can be raised for people to see. </div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight:
bold; line-height: 24px; ">I like the suggestion of Chris, as its something I can use to close the circle. Some tweaking so it reads like this..."what did we learn in this open space gathering and what do we need to do to support the momentum?" Of course I still need to work with Civil Service people to make sense of the results and also to post the same question to them.</div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; ">Btw, this OST event happens within a two-day symposium on Performance Management System. And Harrison is right, there are tons of speakers on day 1, day 2 starts with open space in the morning. The big question paused to them is this: What bold steps can we take to create a truly essential, energizing and responsive performance management system? Additional speakers take
over in the afternoon mainly for government pronouncements. </div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; ">The participants are government HR, OD and planning people, local government and some private sector representatives. There might not be that much exposure for deep engagement, but I'd still take this assignment anytime. </div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; ">To touch base with as many government agencies and be able to open the discussion on performance management; to have this engagement even for just four hours and get government to seriously consider the kind of system that gives life to the service...these are
enough incentives for me to accept the assignment. </div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; ">From the practice of open space I learn to adopt a beginner's mind, one that's open to possibility, a don't know mind, this coupled with the practice of quieting the mind, prepares me to gracefully enter the circle. I pray for humility to open the circle, and strength to step aside once the circle is open. And yes, 15 min is enough time to set the space.</div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; ">The program, thanks to your suggestions is more streamlined...one hour opening/issue generation; two one- hour sessions and another hour for
closing the circle. </div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; "><br></div><div style="font-family: Noteworthy; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 24px; ">I truly can't thank everyone enough. Sending my love to Harrison, Lisa and Franklin, and all those who are kind enough to play through the configuration of 1,000 under 4 hours. I'll get back to you and share how it goes.

<tt><font size="4">Nice words, Scott - but once again I have a different take. Truth is I have<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">ZERO confidence, to say nothing of clarity, in my "competence in all<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">and/or the process in a room potentially filled with bureaucrats, whose<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">shadow can slow down the speed of large group movement." Quite to the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">contrary, I know totally and completely that I will NEVER have a real clue<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">about what is going on. Too complex, inter-related, fast moving, opaque...<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">BUT the people do. My only responsibility (possibility) is to invite them to<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">do what only they know how to do - and then, as quickly as possible, get out<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">of the way. Usually to take a napJ<br>
</font></tt><br>
<br>
<br>
<tt><font size="4">And Kathie Dannemiller was a special person and a friend. I respect her<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">greatly. And... somebody once asked her why, given what she did, she didn't<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">use Open Space. Her reply, as I heard it, was - "I'd be terrified ... it<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">could get out of control." The big secret, of course, was that she (as we<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">all are) was always out of control - so there was nothing to lose.<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">to share their<br>
</font></tt><br>

<tt><font size="4">Agreeing with Harrison here.<br>
</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="4">Lisa has given some great advice. If you were going to make it possible to<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">host 1000 people in Open Space for 4 hours, Lisa's detailed list gives you<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">your best shot of doing that and being successful.<br>
</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="4">Don't be fooled though...this is a huge ask to do this well. The largest<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">group I ever hosted was about 600 people and honestly, the thought of doing<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">that in a half day is truly overwhelming. You need a large team with you<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">to make sure the logistics flow and make sure that people can find where<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">they need to go in a timely way. But 1000 people moving about in a space<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">is a really big ask, and that takes WAAAAY more time than you think it<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">will. And God forbid someone calls a session and 75 people show up because<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">it is rich and juicy - just being able to be heard and get a few comments<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">in will be challenging.<br>
</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="4">As for the design teams idea, that one is really simple. With a crowd of<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">1000 people all proposing and hosting conversations I think having a few<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">people predetermine some trigger topics will give a false sense of comfort<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">that they are actually able to be influential. The fact is that 1000<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">people are ALREADY talking and this Open Space will simply make that all<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">visible. To host this in Open Space you simply HAVE to have confidence in<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">your ability to stand in the room and host. If you can't do that, it's<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">going to be hard for you. You will not be able to control the shadow of<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">the group nor the possibility of emergence. Once the group is working you<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">will barely be able to reconvene them, let alone impact the emotional field<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">of the event. So you and the core team need to let go of outcomes and get<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">really curious about what might emerge from this afternoon of work.<br>
</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="4">Instead of design teams I would counsel that you have several dozen<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">listeners somehow connected to the bigger project who can discern what is<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">going on. After the event invite them and the conveners of every<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">conversation to engage in a little meaning making together. That could<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">still be a meeting of more than 100 people, but you could do it in Open<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">Space and ask the question: "So what did we learn from our 1000 people open<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">space and what do we need to do to support momentum?"<br>
</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="4">And as for outcomes, there is very little this group collectively will be<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">able to accomplish in four hours other than people shaving the conversation<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">they came to have (not the ones the sponsors want them to have) with a few<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">people who managed to find them. You might use a tool like<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://smsharvest.com/">http://smsharvest.com</a> as a way of catching insights on the fly from<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">everywhere. But it will be really hard to get any collective clarity.<br>
</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="4">This is a tough one Sharon Joy. I wish you a lot of luck and good clarity<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">and hope you will share the story with us of whatever happens. There will<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">be lots of learning in it for all of us.<br>
</font></tt><br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">conversation and made me want to learn Open Space, and so she really<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">steered me towards learning with you and Lisa up in Maine. I do remember<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">you leaving to take a nap and me scratching my head - how - in the middle,<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">can you let go? I guess until now I dance between the freedom of Open Space<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">and joint design team sharing that anchors me to do as much as I can to<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">support the group and deliver a quick start. I want the organizational<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">team to discover and I also want to have them have those first few steps of<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">how to get going on their own.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">I think of it as pushing a kid on a 2 wheel bicycle, also "out of control,"<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4"><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">I have been a bit confused about the selection process for open space.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">In my last possibly large gathering, there I was opening up the idea<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">the open space by use of open invitation letters to the possible<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">participants. My client did not like that.<br>
</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="4">How have these 1000 people been selected to take part in the open<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">space and dose that mater in any way?<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> always to have enough space. And 1000 people do need some major room to<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> maneuver, particularly when the time is short. Two spaces are critical: in<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> the center of the circle, and at the wall. With that many people I would<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> look for a center open space of 100 feet across. It is more than likely that<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> you will have 100-150 people all rushing to the center, and that will become<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> quite confusing if they don?t have any room. And at the wall ? remember that<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> there will be a time when you have 1000 people all trying to read what is up<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> there (issues) and make their session selections. If the wall is too short,<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> the people will bunch up, and when people are standing 5-6 deep, it will get<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> frustrating and things will move slowly. My rule of thumb is 6 inches of<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> wall per participant. That way people will never be more than 2-3 deep. You<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> can get away with less wall, but, but you do pay a price. In terms of time<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> periods I would suggest 1 ? hours for the opening, 2 -- 1 hour Sessions, and<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> a half hour for the close, maybe even less. It is all ?doable? but I do have<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> to ask: Why just 4 hours?<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> I suspicion the answer is something like ? there will be speeches and<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> presentations in the morning, which presumably will provide the people with<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> the necessary inspiration and information to do the job. However, every time<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> I have been in a situation like that, the information provided was never<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> enough, and the inspiration imparted simply didn?t do the job. More to the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> point, there is an implicit statement made which I find most troubling. It<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> would seem that the wisdom of the several ?presenters? somehow was equal to<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> and/or took precedence over the collective wisdom and experience of 1000<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> people. Of course this could be true, but if it is, I seriously doubt that<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> Opening Space will do all that much good. Probably better to just fire<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> (terminate) the lot. On the other hand, if that 1000 person collective<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> wisdom is of the sort and depth I suspect it to be ? the allocation of time<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> is, if nothing else, short sighted and disrespectful. It might seem that the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> ?idiots and children? will be allowed a little play time after the experts<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> and adults have set the stage. Am I suggesting that you and your colleagues<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> thought this way? Definitely not. But that is a possible conclusion based on<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> the facts on the ground. And I have definitely experienced situations where<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> the ?thought? not only occurred, but was totally conscious. Worst case was a<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> CEO of a large American corporation who was heard to say, ?Never turn the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> asylum over to the inmates.? The Asylum, of course was the company, and the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> ?inmates? were all the employees. Is it any wonder that creativity and<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> innovation at that company were virtually non-existent, and that employee<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> morale was dismal? Thankfully the company is now out of business.<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> Doubtless I have gone way too far here, and knowing you Sharon Joy, I know<br>

<tt><font size="4">Dear Kari,<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">if an invitation is sent to all that the Planning Group (sponsor<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">included) want to be at the event under the approach/question "who<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">should be at the event so that the stuff we expect from the event under<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">the Heading we came up with for the event will happen?" those receiving<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">the invitation respond to the invitation the way one would usually<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">respond: accept or decline (selfselection).<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">Huge advantage of this selfselection is that the people picking up their<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">spirit and body to come are the right people.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">People that come because they ought to, feel they have to, are forced to<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">etc. are also selfselecting themselves.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">And all that show up hear my words about "The Law" and my invitation to<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">"obey" it (at least twice in the event)... listening to their feedback I<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">find that most folks find it liberating when they follow The Law, and<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">stay and participate (passionately).<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">Now, this is not really an answer to your question on the selection of<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">the 1000 people.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">The event that HO refers to occasionally (the event with 2108<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">participants) took place at the end of a five day conference with 3500<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">folks in attendance. In the invitation to the conference people wanting<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">to attend the OST part had to sign up for it seperately (this determined<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">how many cushions we bought and how much food was supplied and how many<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">toilets had to be set up etc.) and pay an additonal fee.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">In this way, following the invitation meant putting down some extra<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">money, filling out a form with their contact data for the documentation<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">all in addition to the decision that they wanted to be part of it. These<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">kinds of commitments are perhaps trivial but many sponsors are trying to<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">avoid to attach those commitments to the invitation to make it "easier"<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">for people to come... also a form of control.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4"><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">Like the breeze from Iceland which actually arrived during the night and<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">brought a refreshingly cool morning<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">I been wondering for a few years if anyone here has ever attempted to<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">host a moving open space.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4"><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">If you are booking Iceland for your open space, then perhaps it would<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">be fun to see some sites and have discussion on the road. In my<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">extended family we have a tradition that every 3 years we meet for a<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">road trip. This road trip covers a short distance and is like an open<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">space. for we drive for 5 to 15 minutes and then we stop for an hour<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">in different locations where the power of the coffee brake takes over<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">and people gather to talk about what needs to be talked about. This<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">year we had 85 people in 20 jeeps driving around and mixing up the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">groups every time. If discussion was not done, then it would continue<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">in the new place, the arrangement of people in jeeps was also<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">changeable based on what we needed to talk about. Even with the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">possibly bad whether we can do this, as we all have nice clothing that<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">protects us from rain, snow and wind. If it rains then we keep our<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">papers in the jeeps.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4"><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">Open Space meeting in jeeps on the road has the problem of<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">impermanence of space, as we are driving around. Any wall space would<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">need to be virtual. We already have good place markers that we take<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">with us, that is the jeeps them selves, as a different discussion<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">group can form next to jeep A or B. The time slots would be the place<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">names of the sites that we visit. Like "Jeep B at Geysir" would be a<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">group convening next to jeep B whenever we are next at the Geysir<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">the "Open Space Bike" a 15 min push will do the job, provided the conditions<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">are right (real issue, complexity, diversity, etc). Actually, with every<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">group I've ever worked with - large or small - it seems like they already<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">knew how to ride. They just needed a gentle reminder - and off they went. No<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">I am touched by your Kathie story. Kathie's respect for you came out in a<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">conversation and made me want to learn Open Space, and so she really steered<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">me towards learning with you and Lisa up in Maine. I do remember you leaving<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">to take a nap and me scratching my head - how - in the middle, can you let<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">go? I guess until now I dance between the freedom of Open Space and joint<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">design team sharing that anchors me to do as much as I can to support the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">group and deliver a quick start. I want the organizational team to discover<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">and I also want to have them have those first few steps of how to get going<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">on their own.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4"><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">I think of it as pushing a kid on a 2 wheel bicycle, also "out of control,"<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">aiming to get them to keep pedaling and stay up.<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">process in a room potentially filled with bureaucrats, whose shadow can slow<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">down the speed of large group movement.<br>
</font></tt><br>
<tt><font size="4">Whether my approach is a cop out to the OS process, my Kathie Dannemiller<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">lessons about Design Teams has helped me to usually make the process<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> Open Space meeting in jeeps on the road has the problem of<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> impermanence of space, as we are driving around. Any wall space would<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> need to be virtual. We already have good place markers that we take<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> with us, that is the jeeps them selves, as a different discussion<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> group can form next to jeep A or B. The time slots would be the place<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> names of the sites that we visit. Like "Jeep B at Geysir" would be a<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> The traditional site seeing in groups is usually hosted with a site<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> guide that dumps to much information in to short of a time and hurries<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> along so most of the people become to tiered to talk about other<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> maters. This must be avoided, but we can still have some light and<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> informative information of the sites by use of the comm system in the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> jeeps while approaching the sites. We can also tag along and enjoy the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> sites while conversing with our groups by giving a little more time, I<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> would recommend to take a step out of the discussion to take in the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> site and revive the power of the pure nature to fuel the spiritual<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> In my experiences, the energies and dimensions of a group of jeep<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> traveling have almost all the parts that can be used for a good open<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> space practice. The only missing part would be the wall that would<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> need to be implemented virtually with tablet or smart phone<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> application usable with an in jeep wifi / G4 system.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> There are two major factors that drive me to these thoughts, one is<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> that the nature is marvels and it is a shame to be stuck in a building<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> when we can be traveling. And the other factor is that I like groups<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> to come to my small country for experiencing these marvels while going<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> on with the business that matters.<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">Interesting discussion...<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">Scott, you said: "I want the organizational team to discover and I also want to have them have those first few steps of how to get going on their own.?" What do THEY want?<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">?<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">I guess a fundamental message that needs to be clearly conveyed?from the outset?is who's responsible for the outcomes of the meeting? If you are, and so communicated, I can see your desire to make sure certain things happen...but if they are, and agree to it, then you are simply providing an environment that allows them to be their own leaders and be responsible for their?own passions. If things don't turn out to their satisfaction, there is something to be learned?about themselves.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">?<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">I would focus the planning on the logistics so that the least amount of time is wasted.<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">I am touched by your Kathie story. ?Kathie's respect for you came out in a conversation and made me want to learn Open Space, and so she really steered me towards learning with you and Lisa up in Maine. I do remember you leaving to take a nap and me scratching my head - how - in the middle, can you let go? I guess until now I dance between the freedom of Open Space and joint?design team?sharing that anchors me to do as much as I can to support the group and deliver a quick start. ?I want the organizational</font></tt><tt><font size="4"> team to discover and I also want to have them have those first few steps of how to get going on their own.?<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">hours I agree with Lisa and I want to say that yes it is very importqnt to<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">have a lot os space for the agenda. I had 320 participants last week and<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">this was a problem because they had problems getting to the wall to read.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">For the closing circle they helped put the chairs back in circles and I<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> Interesting discussion...<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> Scott, you said: "I want the organizational team to discover and I also<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> I guess a fundamental message that needs to be clearly conveyed from the<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> outset is who's responsible for the outcomes of the meeting? If you are,<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> and so communicated, I can see your desire to make sure certain things<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> happen...but if they are, and agree to it, then you are simply providing an<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> environment that allows them to be their own leaders and be responsible for<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> their own passions. If things don't turn out to their satisfaction, there<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> is something to be learned about themselves.<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">><br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> I would focus the planning on the logistics so that the least amount of<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> steered me towards learning with you and Lisa up in Maine. I do remember<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> you leaving to take a nap and me scratching my head - how - in the middle,<br>

</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> and joint design team sharing that anchors me to do as much as I can to<br>
</font></tt><tt><font size="4">> support the group and deliver a quick start. I want the organizational<br>
