It would be wonderful if you could invite a planning team beforehand to work on it with you which will deepen the learning. Also who knows from 1 experience it may lead to much more. As you read what I describe below, know that we opened the space and had people create the market place wall in as brief a time as possible. We rehearsed our opening of space so it would accord the maximum time for all to experience and be in Open Space. <br>
<br> We did the same on a project with the University of South Florida, working on a sustainability program around Meg Wheatley's work over a 7-week period (90 minute classes). Community, Students and Staff. Three of those weeks were in Open Space.<br>
<br></div>Here's the link to the effort. It was a blast. It opened the door to the World Open Space and even led to a Student Center being built -- it was one of the Action Initiatives with students asking for a place to engage together. It's where we hosted WOSonOS. <br>
<br>For a flavor of it, have a look at this:<br><a href="http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/daigle_Suzanne-268460-usf-sp-wheatley-leadership-series-connection-parners-education-ppt-powerpoint/">A Taste of Open Space</a><br>

<div><br></div><div><b>the upcoming engagement:</b></div>
<div>I have been invited to hold an Open Space style class for MBA/International Affairs students in a Global Perspectives class on Feb 24th at George Washington University (my former MBA program). The standing theme of this class in the prof's curriculum is, "Putting it all together"</div>
<div><br></div><div><b>background: </b><br></div><div>This invite was born from discussions I have been having with the professor of the aforementioned class, about the opportunities of introducing some Open Space and Scrum practices into their MBA program - she is also the Associate Dean and involved in program development. </div>
<div><br></div><div>My real interest was to explore opportunities not just for actual classroom time, but also for other components, such as: The kick-off orientation week for FT MBAs, Curriculum/program planning, and for executing projects. My pet titles include: Hacking my MBA, and the Agile Classroom. </div>
<div><br></div><div><b>the conundrum: </b>So, this is cool, BUT, I am concerned about the short time frame (2.5 hours) and the isolated nature of the engagement. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I would very much like anyone's direct experience or insight on holding classes OS style or holding similarly short, one-off Open Space engagements. I know they are done, I can envision how I would do it, but I still feel concerned that I may have jumped on low hanging fruit that may not be the best format for sharing these practices. </div>
<div><br></div><div>For me, I can definitely see open space style classes and "agile" classrooms w/out multi-day OS summits, but I see them flourishing more as part of an ecosystem of principles and cultures being practiced, rather than as a one-off classroom brouhaha!</div>
