Jeff & Jake, I’ve also done these mini open spaces. With greater and lesser success. When I have times much smaller than 2 hours I tend to think of using Lean Coffee as a form of (Open Space Light). Because of the amount of basic opening and closing overhead build into Open Space is not justified as a percentage of the overall time available. I want to get folks interacting. Not listing to someone set things up.
With Lean Coffee, If I have a larger group (20 and more), then breaking the group down into groups of less than 20 or so seems to be important for Lean Coffee. Also a Table or wall is helpful with Lean Coffee to post topics. --Tom Brown tgb...@gmail.com On Apr 10, 2019, 11:52 AM -0400, Jeff Aitken via OSList <oslist@lists.openspacetech.org>, wrote: > Hi.
