"...<br>
<div>The other thing is that for any kind of facilitation, I would
not name boundaries or constraints. It sets peoples' minds in the
framework of boundaries and constraints - rather than
opportunities and possibilities.</div>
Like 'think outside the box' - you are still thinking…of the box!
when / because someone says that. "<br>
<br>
Dan says:<br>
I notice that:<br>
1/ the 1 Law and 5 Principles of OST are constraints-in-fact. Are
they not?<br>
2/ we are required to describe these as OST Facilitators; at least,
according to the OST Guide. Right?<br>
3/ the general idea for the Facilitator is, "the less said the
better". No?<br>
<br>
I think OST is a most wonderful game.

<tr>
<td valign="top">Jamie - in my experience, any
speeches (longer than 'thanks for coming,
we're so excited, here's your facilitator
let's get to work')
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>In saying this - I know there are also
cultural and regional traditions. However,
having people speak too much at the start… <br
clear="none">
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>- starts putting the body to rest -
when actually in Open Space we want
active, breathing,
energy-to-jump-into-the-center-with-topics</div>
<div>- sets in some people's heads a
pre-determined thought, thus reducing the
possibility for different, emergent,
outlier, diverse thinking as inspired by
the theme question</div>
<div>- speeches are oh-so-often only
listened to by the person giving that
speech ;o) - other people are in their
heads going 'what's this circle?' 'what
shall I propose as a topic?' 'how do I
feel?' 'what is this going to be like?'</div>
<div>- even if the speaker is charismatic,
is not behind a podium, is physical and
walking that circle - people listening are
still shifting into receiving thought
rather than creating / inviting /
experiencing it.</div>
<div>- takes time away from actually getting
to the work at hand. The more time for
dialogue and interchange, the richer, the
deeper the thoughts and conversations, and
the more time given to participants to
start noticing common threads and linkages
across the day.</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>The other thing is that for any kind of
facilitation, I would not name boundaries
or constraints. It sets peoples' minds in
the framework of boundaries and
constraints - rather than opportunities
and possibilities.</div>
<div>Like 'think outside the box' - you are
still thinking…of the box! when / because
someone says that. </div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>If there is anything that is 'off the
table' such as 'we are all here to think
of things that do not cost money' simply
say that in your beautifully constructed
theme question. The theme is the task, and
the thing that invites topics. So if the
theme included '…with zero money but with
other amazing shared resources…' If you
have to. Often you do not have to say
anything is 'off the plate' - you just
open by making sure the participants know
whether they are advisory or decisionary
in this meeting. Ideas where someone
originally assumed there was money (let's
say that is one of the boundaries) can
always be revisited for 'what other kinds
of existing resources do we have to help
this amazing breakthrough idea happen?' in
another part of the meeting, after the
meeting, however the meeting is designed.</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>So I also encourage - if anything more
than a moment must be said - to do it the
evening before, perhaps. Separate it from
the Open Space. Say less. Invite more. Let
them jump into that space!</div>

<div>Dear All,<br
clear="none">

</div>
I have been working with a
Secondary school in the UK
to support students to
develop their school
council into something
which gives them a real
voice in their school and
supports them to make
things happen. As part of
this process, in the last
academic year I ran some
world cafe sessions with
Students, Teachers and the
School Leadership Team and
Governors to find out more
about their views of the
student council and what
they would like to see in
the future. <br
clear="none">
<br clear="none">
</div>
This work has led to a year
long contract to help build
on this and I am bringing
together all of the Art of
Hosting work to support the
students to build something
emergent and powerful that
inculdes the full school
system. In the next few
weeks the school will be
having their very first open
space meeting with members
of as many of the various
parts of the system there as
possible. <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
</div>
For the opening of the open
space I was planning to do a
context setting piece for
everyone and invite the
headteacher, leader of the
governors and the school
council leadership team to
just say a few words about the
boundaries that are there in
terms of the academic and
governance structures so that
everyone can be clear about
what is possible and what
isn't within the constraints
of the current system. I would
them set up the open space and
ensure that the talking ends
on a creative and upbeat note.<br
clear="none">
<br clear="none">
</div>
I would love any advice,
thoughts and feedback. In my
mind i think that to keep it as
open as possible is important
and what has constantly been a
theme in all the pre work is
working within the context of
the political/technical/academic
landscape (they would not phrase
it like this but this sums it
up).<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
</div>
<div>If this year works, it is
likely that I will be able to
work for further years bringing
open space, world cafe, graphic
facilitation and AOH into the
school as a key methodology for
empowering change in the system
so it is very exciting and hence
why advice and wisdom is most
welcome. <br clear="none">

Thanks and look forward to hearing
any inspiration<br clear="none">
