Dear friends I thought I´d share a little of experiences that I had lately with sponsors who initially have had a restriction to a one day event. Every now and then I am approached by sponsors who have decided to have a day with the staff of one or another reason. Out of my experience working with OST I have become more and more aware of the difference that different meeting designs/lengths have.
Firstly I almost always manage to have a four hour pre-meeting with the management team. In this meeting it becomes quite clear what they are after and how the circumstances in the organization are. More often we agree on more time for the conference. A few times lately I have tried the following design. One full day of "physical" OST, some time where the OST conference goes on on the Internet and then a "physical" follow up day, doing convergence and actionplanning. I think that this has added value to the outcomes for the sponsors.
