I did it my way, Open Space, and the sponsor was very pleased. The results were used to transform the business with some of the recommendations still being worked through 13 years later. Do what you believe will generate the best outcomes, the participants mostly do not have any idea of process they just respond to invitations. Open Space provides a wealth of opportunities for effective engagement on many levels. The length of time is not the issue it is how we use it!<br><br>Regards<div>Rob</div></div><div><br>On 2 Oct 2016, at 12:21 AM, Anne-Béatrice Duparc via OSList <<a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474913766184_642684"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474913766184_642685">Hi everyone,</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474913766184_642686"><br clear="none" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474913766184_642687"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474913766184_642688"><font size="2" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474913766184_642689"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1474913766184_642690">I was asked to facilitate an annual meeting (3 hours) which purpose is the evaluation of a series of events taking place every years.
