OSLIST Digest - 21 Mar 2007 to 22 Mar 2007 (#2007-79)Hi Susan, Tova and I did
something like that in the Human Resources yearly conference. We created a
steering committee sponsored by the organizers, that included HR managers and
CEOs who worked with OS, and some that the organizers thought might be
interested.
Above the usual things they brought 2 interesting ideas 1. In our section of
the invitation (that included the topic and a bit about OS), every participant
was asked to invite another member of his organization, free of charge, to this
3.5 hours OS meeting, to enhance the diversity
2. Five sponsors of past OS events, from different sectors, were invited to
tell the participants shortly about their OS experiences.
The topic was something about bringing joy to the workplace, and one
participant invited his father who wrote a book about joy of life.
About 40 people attended and it was fun and productive
all the best Susan

Subject: Re: Has anyone done a short OS as a break out session?
I have been invited to offer Open Space as one of 6 workshop sessions at a
conference - so I will need to attract participants who have other specific
offerings to choose from. (This is a conference for diverse grantees from a
foundation that supports small NGOs dealing with vulnerable populations.) Has
anyone offered OS in such a setting? How have you described it in the program
as an offering? What lessons did you learn? I plan to assemble a small group
of representatives who will attend the conference to help me frame the
question. Thanks for any suggestions,
Susan

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe," a part
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings,
as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his
consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our
personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must
be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to
embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." --
Albert Einstein, What I Believe, 1930
