Dear Koos,
I think I know what you are talking about re favorite clients.
What are main characteristics of grand clients?
Cheers

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 can’t be outside which you
normally know the day before or so even if it’s late summer…that’s 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!
