yes and I suspect (strongly) that all things being equal, the
private/org OST events have more of the preconditions in place, more
often, than public events, especially with respect to Agile
conferences, where I have some direct experience.<br>

<div>coming from the other direction, it might be said that in
more diffused settings, like communities and conferences,
having the focus and bounding that an invitation and circle
and meeting date provide are as beneficial as the opening in
an organization. <br>

yes, and all other things being equal, once again, i think this is
unlikely in my view. the cohesion and intrigue and history of
relationships and cultural stories by and between the members is
likely to much richer inside organizations, since the people have
closer proximity, higher frequency of interactions, over longer
period of time etc. just saying<br>

<div>this leaves aside the messiness of trying to decide where
private becomes public. what about when companies open space
with clients. what is it when the mayor of harrisonburg or
the city of aspen or the school board in peoria convenes the
gathering(s)? <br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
yes and i did directly address this exceptionin the original post.
communities and communities of practice being the obvious
hybrid/grey area. that said, once again all other things being
equal, i currently believe the private event is richer. <br>
<br>
consider the public event where unconference and barcamp are often
used instead of OST. why? perhaps because cohesion & commitment
is lower in public vs private events...all other things being equal
once again that is....<br>

yes and it does matter. it matters a lot. it matters when we try to
develop more precise language to describe what we are talking about

<div>in 2002, i facilitated only just a slice, one track, of the
agile/xp conference, for instance. it was messy, for sure.
my briefing was from the podium in front of a ballroom
theater of 300 seated, having just heard three hours of
keynotes. the wall and posters and all the trimmings were
around the corner and down the hall in another room that
nobody'd seen yet. the actual posting of topics didn't happen
until after they went to lunch and some of them came over to
the room i'd prepared. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>it seemed to work and not. it was a little weird for me
and yet there was much of the familiar energy and
self-organizing. that said, i was quite surprised, EIGHT
years later, one of the agile alliance board members told me
he thought that it had been hugely successful and with
important results that were continuing. <br>
</div>
</div>

yes, and novelty is a wonderful thing. right? i wonder how much
novelty was produced that day, and how many people (what percentage
of them....70? 80? 95?) were introduced to open space that day, thus
generating said novelty<br>

</blockquote>
yes and the agile community has done little in terms of
disciplined/methodical/scientific experimenting, studying,
generating case studies and documenting the results of creatively
using OST in agile adoptions. as it stands, very little evidence has
been generated that might indicate frequent use of OST to facilitate
the pain of process-change in an agile context. rather we continue
to use OST in mere public-Agile-conference events. this is now
changing and more rapidly.<br>

We might consider the distinctions to a) advance the state of the
art, b) develop more know-how in both situations, and c) maybe just
maybe get better at bringing development and transformation to
organizations, especially in an agile-process-change context, and
especially in large, slow-to-change organizations that represent the
largest challenges to success with rapid and lasting development and
transformation. that is my odd fascination, and my intent in raising
the issue generally.<br>

new place where we're invited to work. i'm not sure where
this can lead us. <br>

yea and in general, there is an allergy around the use of precise
language. the vague language with fewer terms and words and words
with multiple meanings can be the cause of many sorrows for those
trying to learn this stuff. consider the newb on OSLIST how it
trying to grok this stuff. How does vague language that does not
make distinctions between this and that context serve that new
student? as it stands, there is no agreed-upon definition for OST,
because OST is a spirit that defies definition. and even when it
does not, there are plenty of people that are happy to to the
defying. the five preconditions for good OST provide a starting
point for discussion. what you are really asking is "what is your
intent Daniel?" and the intent is to advance the work. <br>

what it took to have a good meeting. I think
we all know the drill – there should be a
clear agenda, closely ordered procedure,
something close to absolute control, and the
like. With thoughts like these in mind, Open
Space was not only counterintuitive, but
wrong, dangerous, and obviously heretical.
What we were experiencing was definitely a

yes, Jeff, there is certainly no “requirement”

seem to be little reason have a meeting, let
alone Open Space. After all who would want to
waste the time when there was no business
issue, everything was crystal clear, everyone
thought exactly the same way, no passion or
conflict, and the sense of urgency
non-existent? Sounds like a non-starter to me.
Then again it constantly amazes me that every
day in organizations all over the world folks
hold meetings just because you are supposed
to. Is it any wonder that people are bored,

apples and oranges? <br>
<br>
Greetings All,<br>
<br>
...I notice these well-worn, well-understood set
of starting conditions for great Open Space, on
Wikipedia...hmm...</p>
<p><WIKIPEDIA><br>
Hundreds of Open Space meetings have been
documented.<sup><a moz-do-not-send="true"

moz-do-not-send="true"

target="_blank">[5]</a></sup> Harrison Owen
explains that this approach works best when
these conditions are present,<sup><a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology#cite_note-OST-3"
target="_blank">[3]</a></sup> namely high
levels of</p>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal"><i>Complexity</i>, in
terms of the tasks to be done or outcomes
achieved;</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><i>Diversity</i>, in terms
of the people involved and/or needed to make
any solution work;</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><i>Conflict, real or
potential</i>, meaning people really care
about the central issue or purpose; and</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><i>Urgency</i>, meaning
that the time to act was "yesterday".</li>
</ol>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"></WIKIPEDIA><br>
<br>
<br>
In an organization, we could work with formally
authorized leaders to gauge the magnitude of
each dimension. So for example we could gauge or
rank the magnitude, with 1 being lowest and 10
being the highest magnitude for gauging each
dimension. For a really nice opportunity to use
Open Space, we might be looking for a combined
score of, say, 32 or higher (out of a possible
40)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Public Conference Event<br>
<br>
Now let's consider the PUBLIC conference event.
What is the typical combined score in a public
conference... for these 4 elements? I am
guessing the combined score is something like 20
or lower for the typical conference event. Maybe
25 out of a perfect 40? The cohesion is just
(generally speaking!) <i>so much lower</i> in a
public vs org-based (private) event...<br>
<br>
<br>
<HERESY><br>
And that is why I think OST is for "development
and transformation in organizations" (that
actual subtitle of the SPIRIT book) and that it
is not at all as effective, in terms of impact,
when implemented in a public conference. <br>
</HERESY><br>
<br>
I am guessing the scores for the 4 dimensions
are almost always be lower in a public vs.
private event. <br>
<br>
Certainly that is my general subjective
observation, based on a small sample of direct
experience (less than 20 experiences doing OST
inside corporations...)<br>
<br>
...Yes: some exceptions do exist. As is almost
always the case. Right? That said, I feel these
exceptions prove the general rule... that
private events have a much higher combined
score, all else being equal.<br>
<br>
Ironically, the OST format was originally
formulated to ease the effort required to
arrange and execute public conference events. <br>
<br>
And then....<br>
