This is very helpful for helping me understand your thinking. Thanks
for sending the rich detail and disclosure.<br>
<br>
I am stuck. I continue to hold the belief that (quoting myself
here...)<br>
<br>
"Everyone...Sponsor included, has 100%
equivalent authorization (100% equivalent "right to do work" in the
Open Space) as of
the
moment of opening of the Bulletin Board and/or the opening of the
Marketplace."<br>
<br>
I wonder: if this is NOT actually true, how can the space be said to
be truly open? I wonder who has more "right to do work" than anyone
else... as of the opening of the Bulletin Board, and/or the opening
of the
Marketplace, in an Open Space meeting. <br>
<br>
Maybe there is no equivalence of authorization whatsoever in Open
Space, and I am simply barking up the wrong tree.<br>

Dan,
<br>
as mostly, there is none or very little detailed thinking behind
me expressing the idea, that authority does not disappear just
because an os-event is taking place, and there is no levelling of
authority, which I assume you meant, when using the expression
"equal standing".
<br>
<br>
This is all observation and experience, data I have taken in. In
my world, thats pretty important and utterly valid even if the
stuff I observe might be seen completely different by other
observers.
<br>
<br>
Looking at myself, I have lots of authority of the kind that sort
of oozes out of me when standing in a circle, looking every one in
the eye, even if there are thousands and asking them to look
around, at the person to the right and to the left of them, behind
them, at the other side of the circcle, all the time slowly
walking around the circle... after I have done that twice everyone
is smiling, looking, focusing on each other away from me... and
then my authority shifts as I say nothing about open space but
talk about the facts of life (the principles) etc... and later I
move in the authority of invisibilty and presence...
<br>
<br>
I am not sure what happens to the participants but I have no data
that would indicate them reaching equal standing as far as
authority is concerned or that others will ignore the different
kinds and levels of authority that is associated with others
representing those, regardless of whether just assumed or in fact
fact.
<br>
<br>
There have been experiential settings in which I have
participated, such as the desert game where the folks claiming to
be authorities on how to survive in a desert lead the group to
certain death, or Tavistock Laboratories where participants, me
included, even though we had all the space and freedom we wanted
to take, used their various authorities in intricate manners to
re-create exactly the kinds of organisational strutures they came
from. So, authorities are simply a fact of life, more or less
useful, especially if adaptable in the face of surprises.
<br>
<br>
What I do find very interesting, is your quest investigating
<br>
my thinking! I have pretty much given up investigating my own
thinking, let alone that of others. Seems to me that the only
thing that works for my passion to have the forces of
selforganisation do their thing (expanding time and space, if that
is at all possible) is to concentrate on the things I can somehow
control: set up a circle of chairs, etc.
<br>
<br>
Have a great day

<blockquote type="cite">Dear Dan and everyone,
<br>
here are some bits from my experience:
<br>
<br>
---When I get a call or an email from someone asking me to
facilitate
<br>
an ost-event I tell them to please arrange a "contact" meeting
that
<br>
needs to be attended also by the person that will have the
authority
<br>
to say yes or no at the end (usually the person that would pay
my
<br>
fee). The purpose of the contact meeting is for the sponsor to
find
<br>
out, whether the prerequisites for an OST event are
sufficiently in
<br>
place. This meeting takes 60 to 90 minutes, no fee charged.
<br>
This process has nothing to do with OST, its simply what is
needed for
<br>
any kind of intervention of any kind of man-made organisation
that is
<br>
embarking on such a venture.
<br>
<br>
---Participants in an OST event do not leave the authority
bestowed on
<br>
them in the wardrobe, there is no such thing as an equal
standing in
<br>
authority terms. What does happen is that folks differently
bestowed
<br>
with authority will, in contrast to what they usually do,
follow more
<br>
freely their "passion and responsibility" which, it seems, in
some way
<br>
increases their non-bestowed authority... the expanded space
for the
<br>
forces of selforganisation, the real motor in an OST event,
seems to
<br>
have this effect. Everyone, all participants, fully well know
the
<br>
limitations that they will have to deal with "back in the
asylum" when
<br>
they follow their passion... and very often they are amazingly
elegant
<br>
and cunning in seeing their project through (responsible).
That is why
<br>
I encourage the folks in charge not to make any kind of
promises
<br>
regarding what they will do to encourage projects emerging
from the
<br>
ost event. Participants will get the conditions in place to
see their
<br>
projects through.
<br>
<br>
---Yes, again my experience, coercion, control and such do
shut down
<br>
open space, not completely though: I have seen the force in a
dormant
<br>
stage and becoming quite alive when the conditions are right
<br>
(prerequisites in place)... isn't it our experience that big
CONTROL
<br>
seems to shut down just about anything? In OST events I have
actually
<br>
seen efforts of BiG control being met by counter-activity
(this is
<br>
sometimes the effect of facilitator intervention when a
space-invader
<br>
tries his stuff or, and even more effective, the "group"
grappling
<br>
with space invasion/attempts at control... these observations
I have
<br>
made when there is a really burning business issue and
absolutely
<br>
nobody has the foggiest idea regarding the solution, least the
folks
<br>
with "authority".
<br>
<br>
I really impress myself with your passion, Daniel. Maybe
because I
<br>
also have been trying to refine my understanding, find precise
<br>
language, get my hands onto, etc. what it is that happens in
os-events
<br>
or even in os-organisations. In my os-facilitator-career, I
have
<br>
increasingly given up trying to understand it and focus more
on what I
<br>
see happening... which has increased my faible for stories. By
now, I
<br>
know that stories are fact, right, my facts.
<br>
<br>
Have a great Sunday,

<blockquote type="cite">Hi Michael, Everyone,
<br>
<br>
I'm sorry there are coercive mandates happening in Berlin,
and that you
<br>
have to experience them.
<br>
<br>
Regarding the Sponsor for an OST meeting,
<br>
I am saying that I believe this person must have enough
formal authority
<br>
("sufficient+1") to be able to actually arrange, budget and
convene the
<br>
meeting. And that the authority that the Sponsor holds is
conferred to
<br>
him or her by the organization. Is this true in OST?
<br>
<br>
Regarding the Participants,
<br>
I am saying that I believe that after the Marketplace opens,
the
<br>
intention and in fact the reality of OST is that everyone
has an equal
<br>
standing in authority terms. At the start, no one person or
group has
<br>
any more authorization to act than any other person,
regardless of their
<br>
formally authorized role in the organization. Is this true
in OST?
<br>
<br>
For the record, I am not at all in favor of mandates. I am
allergic to
<br>
them. I believe mandates and other forms of coercion
strongly discourage
<br>
self-organization by the imposition of external authority
over the
<br>
person or group. Self-organization is impossible in
scenarios where
<br>
individuals and groups are not free to choose. Is this true
in OST?
<br>
<br>
This places out routinely EVERY SINGLE DAY in Agile
adoptions. Formally
<br>
authorized leadership imposes Agile practices on teams while
at the same
<br>
time encouraging teams to "self-organize". I for one have
seldom if ever
<br>
seen it actually work that way.
<br>
<br>
And so I have my questions about authority in Open Space.
<br>
<br>
I'm not being cute here: I'm hoping someone can help me
break/refine my
<br>
model of OST as it pertains to formal and informal
authority, in the
<br>
Open Space. I'm trying to use more precise language to
explain what I
<br>
think is going on in OST. In my view, the 1 Law and the 5
Principles
<br>
make it clear everyone has equal informal authorization in
OST,
<br>
regardless of their formal title. I some ways the formal
titles are
<br>
suspended, as the space is held open for inquiry and
dialogue.
<br>
<br>
This is my current belief. I asking for help in determining
if this
<br>
belief is close to truth.

Heavy stuff for a sundrenched Sunday morning in Berlin
where I and the

entire population (including dogs and cats and other pets
kept in
<br>
human housing) are suffering from having been robbed of an
hours time
<br>
by authorities that are mandated to do such stuff.
<br>
<br>
Oh yes, before I forget, there was the notion that
"passion and
<br>
responsibility" is all that is needed for "authorisation"
(with the
<br>
nagging suspicion that folks driven by passion and
responsibility and
<br>
even taking action under those influences walk through the
walls and

obstacles set up by those authorized to raise them as if
they were

thin air).

<br>
<br>
I'm wondering if 100% equivalence in authorization for
all
<br>
participants
<br>
is actually a key/defining characteristic of any genuine
and authentic
<br>
Open Space event...
<br>
<br>
<br>
First things first. Definitions:
<br>
<br>
Authority: The right to do specific work
<br>
<br>
Authorization: The conferring of authority
<br>
<br>
Formal Authority: Authorization conferred from the
formal organization
<br>
to a person. Example: "the CEO".
<br>
<br>
Informal Authority: Authorization conferred from peers,
colleagues and
<br>
co-workers. Example: "emergent leadership".
<br>
<br>
<br>
Now let's get into it. I currently think, and believe,
that:
<br>
<br>
1. For an Open Space event inside an organization, the
Sponsor must
<br>
occupy a role with substantial formal authorization,
definitely more
<br>
than enough to actually authorize that OST event. The
higher the level
<br>
of formal authorization of the Sponsor, the better it is
for the event
<br>
overall.
<br>
<br>
2. The Sponsor authorizes the participants- the
"invitees"-- to meet
<br>
together, and do the specific work of exploring and
investigating the
<br>
Theme. This "authorized work" is done in "authorized
space"...in that
<br>
specific place, for a specific period of time. The
Sponsor explicitly
<br>
authorizes all of the above and conveys this message
after they stand
<br>
up, and before they sit down, at the opening.
<br>
<br>
2. The Facilitator is formally authorized by the Sponsor
to do the
<br>
specific work of OST event. Absent this authorization,
the Facilitator
<br>
has no standing.
<br>
<br>
3. This is the big one: Everyone else, Sponsor included,
has 100%
<br>
equivalent authorization (100% equivalent "right to do
work") as of
<br>
the
<br>
moment of opening of the Bulletin Board and/or the
opening of the
<br>
Marketplace.
<br>
<br>
4. As the event progresses, authorization dynamics are
in play. These
<br>
"informal authorization" dynamics occur continuously
throughout the
<br>
day
<br>
in real time, moment by moment. Those who experience net
increases in
<br>
levels of informal authorization as of the end of the
meeting have
<br>
membership in the "emergent leadership" group.
<br>
<br>
I am very interested in what experienced folks think
about the
<br>
validity
<br>
of the assertion in (3) above.
<br>
<br>
Ex the Facilitator, does everyone else actually have
100% equivalent
<br>
authorization in an OST meeting? Why or why not?
<br>
Is this 100% equivalence of authorization actually a
key/defining
<br>
characteristic of any genuine and authentic Open Space
event?
<br>
<br>
Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide, and
<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,
<br>
