Thomas's post has spurred me to post on an action planning design I am going to be trying for the first time in three weeks.
I am facilitating a 1.5 day OS for 125 Aboriginal youth from across Canada. They are gathering under the auspices of five national organizations (25 youth from each group) to discuss a federal government Aboriginal youth strategy. Day one will consist of a brief "panel" presentation on the highlights of the strategy and then right into five hours of Open Space. Day Two is reserved for action planning. The planning group has requested that we use this time to allow each of the five national groups to create action plans for their organizations, as they each have different constituencies, issues and priorities. So what we will do is review the proceedings of day one together and then ask each organization to form a working group to prioritize and action plan around top priorities for their organizations. The action planning sessions will be posted on a common agenda wall and every group will be open to others to attend. The idea is to create organization specific action plans while at the same time allowing for cross organizational contact and possible collaboration to take place. I have only sketched out the process at this point. Anyone want to help me flesh out the details?
