Hi Thomas,
Pondering your option of using the dining room.
Would it be necessary to break up the circle for
lunch? Or could you leave the circle as it is and
just let people find a place to eat their lunch?
You may have to tidy things up a little bit for
closing circle, but I assume there will be plenty of time for that after lunch.
Another thought is that it sounds like a few
experiences I have had which I dit not like very
much. Of course I have too little information to
judge, but it sounds as if your client has
everything booked and organized and then, almost
as an afterthought, suddenly realizes they also
need a facilitator, This is not my favorite type
of client. In fact, I try to keep them away. They
tend not to take Open Space very seriously and I
have had a hard time working with them.
So I was wondering if you are sure you want to
get into this. Have you checked their commitment
to the principles of Open Space?
Love
Koos

Hi friends in Open Space
I have a challenge coming on. A group want to
use OST for a meeting, they have booked a space
and expect maybe 100 participants. The challenge
is that the main room if we cant be outside
which you normally know the day before or so
even if its late summer
thats how it is in Sweden
Well, the main room is about 10*10 meters which
is too little BUT I want to give it a go (they
cannot change location, they say). There is lots
of space for break outs and maybe maybe we can
even find another solution for the main circles
the dining area if we can find somewhere
else to dine/or break the circle during lunch
might be another solution. Anyhow I will have
to go and explore different opportunities
. Hmmm
seems I find some possible solutions while writing
Anyhow, my question is has anyone any
experiences of a similar situation, where people
are really crammed in the main room. I am
thinking about inviting those who can, to stand
during the opening, and maybe give 60 persons a
chair in two circles which gives a little
space at the agenda wall
A little more chaos
than normal, but it should work
Or have cushions as an inner circle
?
So, any experiences, ideas or just some cheering would be appreciated
Great to be in this new space with you!
