Dear Anne,

intrigued myself with "life force".
Is it related to the "selforganisation force"?

Greetings from Berlin

Dear Daniel et al

For me, open space is a condition of life.

OST has many forms: a meeting or gathering is the most common collective
form.
However, it's also a way of life, a "technology" (tool) for living one's
life.
Do you find yourself (in your inner talk) applying the law or principles
that way?
Eg: "Do i really care about that? Maybe i'll pass that one up."
Or in relationship?
Eg: someone you were expecting at a meeting doesn't show up: "Oh
ok...Whoever comes are the right people."
For me, this form of OST keeps me in the flow of the life force.
Hmmm maybe OST is a way of tracking the life force?  In one's personal
life as well as our collective life??

Those are some thoughts that are coming to me.  You're raising
interesting questions, Daniel.  Thanks!

Hi Agnieszka,

I feel you have excellent instincts with respect to your discomfort with
the idea of Facilitating and participating as a member at the same time.
Like you,  I, too am also uncomfortable... occupying the roles of
Facilitator and Participant at the same time.

I coach Agile. If I am functioning as coach to the group, I always
refrain from Facilitating OST, because my current belief is that I
probably cannot be effective as the OST Facilitator in that spot.

In any event, instead, I prefer to pay a friend to do the Facilitation,
and then play in the OST game as a Participant.


And so: I wonder if you might have a local friend, someone interested in
your OST work, who is not currently a member of your team. I wonder if
you could teach this local-friend person the basics of OST Facilitation
ahead of time. I wonder if you could teach this person how to do it, in,
say, 1 or 2 hours, with a little, private, mock "chairs-in-a-circle"
walk-through, with the posters, etc.

I wonder if your friend might then be willing to actually do the
Facilitation of your team's OST event,  in exchange for your excellent
before/during/after mentoring (and the very excellent learn-by-doing
opportunity.)

Kind Regards,
Daniel

Hi All,

I am to facilitate an Open Space for a team I am a part of and I
really would like to participate, but as a facilitator, I know I
shouldn't.
We will probably not able to hire an external facilitator, so I'm
tryng to work this out...

Do you have similar experiences? Any ideas? Recommendations?

I can tell you if a meeting is Open Space (though there are plenty of grey
examples), but not if Open Space is a meeting.

In my personal lingo, Open Space is a way of being together, not a whole
package that describes an event.

You can hold meetings in Open Space, you can hold gatherings in Open
Space,
you can hold conferences in Open Space...  you can do any of these things
in any other way... and you can have Open Space in any myriad forms of
'gathering' too.

My response feels unclear, though it was perfectly clear before I
wrote it,
I promise...  Hopefully it comes out okay at your end.

Cheers

Hi Daniel,

I think we can count Open Space as a "meeting" by both definitions 1. and
2. in your dictionary listing. But it doesn't fit well to me in the
poetic
sense. I prefer conference or gathering. Or even better, it is something
that stands alone and apart, as its own sort of thing. So instead of
saying
"we're going to the open space meeting", we just say "we're going to the
open space."

In general, my sense of a "meeting" is something where we all meet in the
same place at the same time and talk about the same things, *mostly*
one at
a time.

There is an invitation to some scientific rigor for our beloved
technology.
I propose we accept this invitation as a communal effort. An idea for a
trial design would be to collect survey data where the nuances of the
lived
experiences would be teased out, survey data collected by cooperation
among
our grand Institutes and access given to unaffiliated researchers to
collect some understandings and make their own conclusions in publishable
science papers. It will probably be far too difficult, even impossible the
task of building of such survey database along with the standardized
questioners. And the time to build it was sometime long ago, we are long
past out do time. There is urgency to this task. But do we have to do it?
Well, is there a real need for this approach? I think we can host this
endeavor, even try to find a design that allows for a Double-blinded
rigor.
My vision is that we design standardize and publish a survey that we then
allow events to use to collect data for us, data that we then give to
researchers where they can use it for their publishing needs. There is
also
the Pandora?s Box of issues and opportunities. It looks like it is a topic
ripe for an open space, "be prepared to be surprised".

The new late majority folks are going for the theme of ?participatory
processes? and request an overview over the landscape. It is the new
gathering pole and open space is central for me in this arena as it is
less
controlling that other processes. Perhaps tour rigor should be part of a
broader sense of analyses under the more general heading of participatory
processes.

But perhaps when we look at Open Space, then we must use the same type of
analyses as when we look at research approaches, like when we look at the
difference on Double-blinded procedure done by WHR Rivers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._H._R._Rivers and earlier research
procedures.

A resent story on "time to think", two weeks ago I facilitated a short 3
hour open space for a local branch of a political on their internal
operations. There were also a lot of other things happening before and
after the conversation part of the program, some football fans even
disappeared during the open space to see the ongoing game.  Personally I
was happy that we had the lunch before the open space, I took some
time for
reflection and thinking about the possible dream future and topics that
make us show up for the work. Then reflection and lunch was served, a lot
of chatter during the soup lunch, then back to the introduction of
principles ? ?Whatever happens is the only thing that could have, be
prepared to be surprised!?? democracy of the feet / the law of mobility,
the bugs and what they give us.  Then brake for topics. ?  It was short
time and a lot of conflict of attention by the sponsors for the other
parts
of the day program, but it worked out well. The passion for work and the
freedom of this technology opened for topics and responsibility that had
previously been submerged by the tyranny of long speeches and lectures.
Give a little time and then open up some space, works each time given the
preconditions.

In openness,
K?ri the group coach

Hi K?ri,

Thank you for making your proposals. They are very interesting!

slippery ground there, Daniel, talking about what OS "is"! :-)

however, on a very practical level, I will speak from my own experience,
about what OS can *do*:

to me, it offers a space where people can figure out *what *they
really want to meet about, and then meet with others who also care about
the same thing.

So in that sense, it creates a space for *many* "meetings" to happen --
the kind of "meeting", that people *want* to show up for!

Hi Daniel,

I think we can count Open Space as a "meeting" by both definitions 1. and
2. in your dictionary listing. But it doesn't fit well to me in the
poetic
sense. I prefer conference or gathering. Or even better, it is something
that stands alone and apart, as its own sort of thing. So instead of
saying
"we're going to the open space meeting", we just say "we're going to the
open space."

In general, my sense of a "meeting" is something where we all meet in the
same place at the same time and talk about the same things, *mostly*
one at
a time.

Hi Daniel

You are welcome.

My tiered English was not at it best in the first post, but I hope the
spellchecker managed to make my writing readable.

Well there is always the purpose of the occasion and how it plays out. I
would now be interested how different participatory processes work for
individuals and compare it to Belbin team roles or the personality
psychology of the five scales: Cautious-inventive; Organized-careless;
Energetic-reserved; Analytical-compassionate; and Confident-nervous. But
what to measure for is of-course up to the purpose of our survey.

What would be our next step in this topic offering.

In openness,
K?ri the group coach

I would say that open space is a themed meeting super-framework. Where
people have meetings (with there chosen sub-framework) on topics in
connection to our themed and use our common super-framework to
organize the
meetings and there outcomes.
