<p>Hi Jake:</p>
<p>Given the amount of control desired by the sponsor, and your
playing with Liberating Structures , are you sure that Open Space
is the most appropriate format for the desired outcome? I might be
wrong: it looks like a regular workshop, designed around a
suitable LS string, might work better here.</p>
<p>An Open Space does not impose that amount of control on the
participants, neither with respect to sessions, nor with handling
outcomes in the way you have described. Trying to add this type of
control might cause a bit of dissatisfaction with people who know
what an Open Space really is, IMHO.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi folks,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyone have experience using Open Space to develop OKRs
with a group?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am facilitating an Open Space event in late February. I
plan to use the 25/10 Crowdsourcing method to prioritize draft
objectives (O's) and then 1-2-4-All to develop the key results
(KR's) for each objective. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The sponsor wants a maximum of 3 objectives. It might get a
little hairy if the clear cutoff for the 25/10 Crowdsourcing
is greater than 3. Guess I could use voting to narrow it down.
Also, I am exploring if consent decision-making could be
useful. The sponsor might need to make a final call on the top
3 if the group is split.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks and much love,</div>
