Dear Chris I recently did 200 doctors and patients in 3 hrs, and I'm about to do a follow up with 300 in the same time !! We offered stenographers roaving around the room to help with notetaking, and whilst we had the Newsroom for effect we didn't push participants to have to do their own writing up. The challenge was to move them from the circle to get started. I underplayed the time for merging sessions and marketplace so we kept it moving. The individual agenda sessions were set at 2 timeslots of 45 minutes each with no break. This was not ideal, and I don't know how it will work with an extra 100 people in the room. Time will tell.
I am hoping the medics will like Open Space so much that they will realise allowing it to breathe more will help I didn't stint on the time for the opening circle - because I needed to calm them after an hour of key note speeches which the medics insisted was also needed. They are reducing that front-end speaching this time round having seen the effect of Open Space. Good luck Cheers Chris Chris Grady Chris Grady.Org Gothic House, High Road, Great Finborough, Suffolk IP14 3AQ Tel: +44 1449 771007, Mob: +44 7713 643971 ch...@chrisgrady.org www.chrisgrady.org Associates: Kath Burlinson <http://www.kathburlinson.co.uk/>, Tom Atkins<http://www.tomatkins.co.uk/> , Rajni Shah <http://www.rajnishah.com/> and Kate Reed (New York) *CGO - Making Connections* *Current Projects/Contracts*: Course Leader – MA Arts Management Anglia Ruskin University International Licensing Consultant – Stage Entertainment NL Industry Liaison (shared post) – Mountview Academy of Theatre Associate - Wonderbird Ltd / Consultancy In development - StoryMusic2020 For more information on CGO Surgeries for theatremakers and emerging artists And for work using Open Space Technology go to www.chrisgrady.org On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 9:23 AM, Chris Altmikus @ iDeA-Link < chris.altmi...@idea-link.eu> wrote: > Hello dear Open Space friends, > > I am preparing for a very short OS Session, 120 minutes ... with some 100+ > participants, french- and/or german-speaking. > > Any experience and guidance you may be willing to share on how to open & > structure such a ... short ... space ?
