<div class="moz-cite-prefix">does the difficulty here not seem to be
obvious? isn't it typical for an OS taking place INSIDE of (what
should be avoided) any team, system, organism..., <br>
instead of being "crossing", i mean, open to people from various
places? sorry if i'm off topic!<br>

Stuart. They fully owned the agenda, brought forth energy and
enthusiasm, and in the end were daring to speak things, by
their own admission, that they they otherwise would not. You
didn't panic when the unexpected happened, as they took the
program on as their own. I see no reason in your story for second
guessing at all. The only question I do wonder about now is "now
what?" What can happen next? How to support that? <span></span>

.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Yesterday I
facilitated a two-hour open space at the end of a training
course for 30 people. I explained the principles, the law,
etc. and described the marketplace. The marketplace had four
time slots across the top and four locations down the side.
After they had filled the marketplace with about 25 sessions,
they asked me what they should do. I said “It’s up to you”.
They started swapping the headings so times now went down the
side and locations went across the top.<br>
<br>
Thinking of the many suggestions to "get out of the way” and
“make it obvious you’re not an authority”, I decided to take a
bathroom break.<br>
<br>
On my return I approached one of the spaces to find several of
the sessions pasted on the wall. I turned to look at the
marketplace to discover only the time slots and locations
remained. Each location had all its sessions stuck on the
wall.<br>
<br>
Whatever happens, I thought.<br>
<br>
After noticing there was some confusion about trying to
discuss all sessions at the same time, conversations moved to
become about a more defined topic (at least of few of which
were not one of the topics on the wall).<br>
<br>
The closing circle had about half the participants speak, with
many sounding quite enthusiastic about their experience and
what the theme meant for their organisation. I noticed many of
the people were directing their summary to the most senior
person in the room. Some even referred to that person
specifically “I don’t know if I should say this while the boss
is here”, and similar comments.<br>
<br>
I wondered whether the space was beginning to close at that
time.<br>
<br>
Perhaps I could have done a better job of facilitating or
explaining, during the introduction. Regardless, it’s probably
the only thing that could have happened.<br>
