If you go back and have that conversation, it might help you to think about how to use the results of the event.<br><br>What is it that made it necessaryto call an open space in the first place? When you were thinking of using the method in the beginning what results did you imagine? How were you thinking that the open space would affect your organizations work?<br><br>These questions might now help you to frame the action plan going forward. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Chris. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">___________<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">CHRIS CORRIGAN<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.chriscorrigan.com">www.chriscorrigan.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>On Mar 15, 2017, at 1:26 PM, Meredith Woolard via OSList <<a href="mailto:oslist@lists.openspacetech.org">oslist@lists.openspacetech.org</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Hello!</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">My company recently held a very successful Open Space and we are now wondering “what happens next?”.
