Thanks for all the input.

 

For anyone interested, background:

 

*       This is a group of medical doctors, professors, and health systems
CEOs who I “assume” are accustomed to thorough noting. They’re convening to
cover graduate medical education (many pieces to the system here).
*       The product from this event will inform various other processes,
including medical school accreditation
*       They will want a product they can share externally with like-minded
audiences

 

What I will do is:

*       Have note-taker forms and flipcharts/markers for each breakout
space, in addition to a Google doc template emailed ahead of time. It will
be a folder with many blank template files that get renamed. I do want the
option for them to synthesize notes after the discussion, rather than
documenting and moving on.
*       Have a semi-newsroom for accessing the Google doc upon conclusion of
sessions, if one doesnʻt have a laptop
*       After the session and the notes are cleaned up, I’ll use a “merge
google doc” add-on I found to get the files into a book of proceedings then
do page numberings, links, etc.

 

Thanks everyone for helping me think this through!

Hi, Eric! 

 

Neat idea. I’ve found Google Slides (set up with portrait page orientation)
to work very well for me and my clients for virtual Open Space. Write to me
if you’d like to discuss the setup.

 

In-person, you could still have separate docs for each session, and post QR
codes on each session poster in the marketplace, plus give each convener a
copy of the QR to post when they get to their room.

 

Cheers!

Aloha all,

 

Has anyone set up and used Google Docs for session notes in an in-person
Open Space event? Any thoughts about it?

 

The client likes the idea of a shared document vs. transcribing written
notes into a Word document. They are mostly accustomed to working in Google
docs. Its about 50 folks in the medical professions, so they’ll have laptops
or tablets. We have their emails, so might send out the link that way.

 

I was thinking of a single Google doc that folks will scroll through to
find an empty template for their session discussion.

 

Any thoughts on the endeavor? Mahalo!
