Thank you and thaks to the restof the participants to that share, ark and reflect in this large OS we have here. Adriana 2013/7/10 Harrison Owen <hho...@verizon.net> Scott I guess I really have a different take. I have never seen any reason to plant topics, or emplace spark plugs. In every situation with large groups in my experience (my largest was 2108 J) the people do it all by themselves, just like usual. If anything the action is faster, and more furious with a large group. Once it rolls, it really rolls. You just got to get out of the way quickly which is why I would make sure the opening was fast and sweet. Once person (facilitator) only and on with the show! Of course the necessary conditions must be in place (real business issue, complexity, diversity, passion, conflict, urgency) and from there on out the only thing you need to do is sit in a circle, create bulletin board, open market place and go to work. Nothing else needed.

Lisa has given you great tips, great food for thought. For me the joy of a laid back OS alters when I must manage tighter time frames, larger numbers and logistics. I want people to see what they can get done when they are focused and led through well planned OS tasks. I think about the outcome/purpose the client/group wants to walk away with. I try to get clear on their goal(s)/desired outcomes. I am fond of design teams preceding any large group initiative. I would bring together 5 to 10 vertically positioned influencers as soon as possible and preceding the get together and confirm sought desired outcomes, I would then ask them to brainstorm a list of important topics for this conversation and to rework the list into a vital few examples. I would also encourage this group to recognize the significance of their role and to serve as spark plugs to get the large group moving forward. However the session is opened, I would include a design team member or two to share their hopes and aspirations for this meeting, and to briefly share the list of topics as examples for the 1,000 others to raise what matters most to them per the "high performance system"sought. This is a great opportunity for your government to work together. I also look forward to learning about your experience and next steps.

This happens next week down south in the city of Cebu. The focus is on the Philippine government service, its performance management system and how it can be truly essential, responsive and life-giving. Gail West, my OS mentor friend, has provided me with some incredible suggestions on how to proceed and she also advised me to post on OSList. Any thoughts on how best to proceed with a cast of thousand in 4 hours time?
