??? Help! Not sure what this refers to... Please explain.
**********************************************
As the original perpetrator I suppose I should come clean --
"Do it" -- Do an Open Space
"Clarify it" -- provide time and occasion for the folks involved to reflect
on what has happened, might happen, and should happen next. Outside of
offering an opportunity to move to action, this is also a moment for
personal reflection. I have found that in the heat of the moment (Open
Space) people are so involved, and things happen so quickly that very
likely the participants aren't really aware of what they have done.
"Open Space it" -- Upon reflection, folks will find that there are some
issues that are now clear and ready for action (or the action has already
begun). But there are other concerns/issues that, even with the best will
in the world, remain in the shadows. Nothing to do here but Open Space
again -- but now around those particular "hard nuts."
Obviously this represents an iterative process, and if followed along
offers the possibility of organic growth in an Open Space
environment. Nothing fancy, but it just keeps the space open and moving.
