Servus, I am limited in time in most conferences and workshops. For example because people have to reach trains or plains and I do not want to let drop off people individually. .
In all these cases I tell people that we have xxx time to do the finishing round (which is in most cases between 30 and 60 minutes). And it is amazing, folks have an enourmos feeling for economy of time. It always fits to the edge. I find this is a great example for selforganization.

Maybe a soft bell after a few minutes that gets louder? Or the other could be a total limited of time until time stops. When a limited total time is set, everyone (well almost.) will take this into account. I'm very interested in creative solutions for this! ________________________ Michaël Molenaar Systemisch Consult Tilburg - Holland mich...@syst.nl Website: www.syst.nl GSM 0031 (0)6-51561095 ________________________ -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: OSLIST [mailto:osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu] Namens Gerard Muller Verzonden: maandag 6 oktober 2003 11:32 Aan: osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu Onderwerp: [OSLIST] Thoughts from the OSonOS11 organising team: Evening news and Closing Circle Dear All, We talked for quite a while during morning/evening news and closing circle during OSonOS. Are we a group with "many chiefs, few Indians ?". Instead of using basically unlimited time would it help to suggest a limited time frame ? Would we listen to whoever suggested that ? On Tuesday Tova said in the Morning News "If we continue like this, we can start the closing circle once we're finished with Morning News". Somehow a closing circle seems a more difficult situation to use your two Feet, because after the person who you feel is really wasting your precious time, someone might just say the most wonderful thing you could not dream of missing......... Do we respect the Talking Stick procedure as we ask our participants to ? How come we "forgot" to use the Talking Stick in the closing, after Michael passed it to Brian, to take it along to India ? Thomas (who facilitated the closing)was quite surprised and had to watch the video to believe it!
