Dear friends and colleagues in Open Space,
When you facilitate an OST meeting in an organization, it is the formal
leader who opens the space inside his/her organization for this
meeting to
take place. Whether the leader feels well versed in what OST is or is
simply going along with something that has been recommended, that person
has an experience that is also a big opportunity...for the single leader
and/or the leadership team.
If you also recognize the wonderful opportunity in front of this
leader as
you have discussions with the leader and leadership team, you may be
interested in the five self study modules that our team is calling
our Next
Level Leadership learning track
<https://www.dalarinternational.com/curriculum/next-level-leadership/>.
The
five modules are designed for just such a leader to go through in a self
study mode to encourage some of the thinking that is important to
lead an
organization within the new leadership paradigm within which OST fits
"Leading So People Will Lead".
Since 1992 I have been fascinated by what happens when formal leaders
including leadership teams sponsor and experience an Open Space
Technology
meeting in their workplace. There are a few different story lines that
emerged. First, it is important to share with you that within how we
teach
about Working with Open Space Technology in our Genuine Contact
program, we
encourage facilitators of the OST meeting to have a 'debrief
meeting' with
these leaders (the sponsors). The questions we ask in the debrief
meeting
are kept simple and are intended for heightening learning from the
shared
experience of having been in an OST meeting. Yes, simple
action-reflection
learning.
In my experience, OST always works. And always, the quality and
quantity of
outcomes surpasses all expectations. So...that is part of what is
reflected
on during the debrief meeting. Within an OST meeting, there is
always the
experience of leadership popping up by just about everyone; people
stating
that they experience a shared vision during the meeting; a real sense of
community with good communication throughout; and self management within
the container created. This is also discussed in the debrief
meeting. Then
comes the question that for me is of utmost importance. Here it is
"During
the OST meeting, you experienced exceptional performance by the
people who
participated as you have just discussed. If you are not getting that
exceptional performance every day, would you like to?".
Silence is the first response.
The second response is "no, this is not our daily experience"
Then comes the discussion of "we want this in our daily experience
BUT we
are not ready". I reply "you say you want exceptional performance. Your
people have shown you within the OST meeting that they are capable of
exceptional performance already. If you are not having this exceptional
performance on a daily lived basis and you want it, what is it you
are not
ready for?"
The answer has consistently been about the leadership capacity of the
leadership team to lead an organization of people who are engaged in the
ways that were visible in the OST meeting. This is a vulnerable
conversation to be having and I feel a lot of respect for the
leaders and
the discussion.
My personal favorite outcome of the discussion is the leader (leadership
team) expressing an interest in developing personal and group leadership
capacity so that they can successfully lead an organization with a
participatory architecture along the same lines as the participatory
architecture of the OST meeting.
Initially I proceeded with these leaders by teaching them how to
work with
OST to get the most harvest out of an OST meeting and to structure their
organization to allow as much freedom and choice as possible. I realized
that something was missing. I had jumped ahead too quickly. Just because
the leader (leadership team) stated willingness, there are steps to take
between that stated willingness and feeling ready and engaged in
thinking
and working in a more expanded concept of leadership.
Now when those leaders (leadership teams) say they are willing to lead
their organizations as a culture of leadership, the kind of culture that
needs a participatory architecture with lots of use of OST
meetings....we
have them go through what we call our Next Level Leadership learning
track
<https://www.dalarinternational.com/curriculum/next-level-leadership/>.
They can do these five modules as self study with lots of reflection
about
their thoughts about leadership...and then have a one to one (or group)
mentoring session to have a conversation about what they are thinking
regarding leadership.
Placing this learning track in their hands assists them with discernment
about leading for the leadership paradigm of "Leading So People Will
Lead";
assists them in readiness and developing a plan for their readiness; and
assists them with engaging in the development needed for what is a very
challenging leadership role...well worth it, but challenging.
I hope that this has piqued your interest about one way to help
leaders who
are interested in leading for the kind of performance they
experience in an
OST meeting. This has been a passion of mine for a long long
time...and I
am very pleased with what happens when leaders take the time to go
through
this self study. Shift happens.

Thanks Chris, thanks Birgitt for reflecting around who is this
training for.
My experience from facilitating a few of these OST trainings each
year since the year 2000, is that I learn so much every time. But I
guess that is true for all ?spacy? OST trainings! We have lots of
space in the venue and I think that diversity of experiences adds to
everyones experience and learning. We expect a variety in the level
of experience amongst the participants.
Birgitt already mentioned some specifics of our training. I?d add
that the learning is facilitated using Whole Person Process
Facilitation. WPPF is a more directed method, building on the same
values as OST. We build in lots of variety in the training to invite
the whole person. Two shorter OST meetings are included in the three
days, one facilitated by the participants.
Let me/us know if you or anyone else (!) have any more questions
CU in Washington!

Dear Chris,
great to be communicating with you and possibly to meet again soon.
The Working with Open space Technology module of the Genuine Contact
program, although including the facilitation of the form of OST as
per Harrison Owen's teachings, focuses a great deal on pre-work with
the sponsor, harvesting the most out of the OST meeting for the
benefit of long term impact in the organization and how to do so,
and developing a personal perspective on the essence of OST beyond
the form. What is 'open space?', what is the essence of OST?, what
is the sponsor really doing? what is the facilitator really doing?
I personally find value in going into this module from time to time
to discern my thoughts, add to my growth and with curiosity and
playfulness look at what I now believe I know that I didn't seem to
know before, and develop greater mastery in my work. I believe you
have lots of experience with OST and yet, this module, as
facilitated by Anne Caroline Turk (Germany) and Thomas Herrmann
(Sweden) may stimulate thoughts and development in you that you will
find useful in our growth and work.
in genuine contact,
Birgitt

Hi, Birgitt. I hope you are well.
You may recall that in the early days of OST, before OSONOS, I was an
active member of the OST community. I have continued to use OST as one
of the tools in my work, and have continued to (mostly) lurk on OSLIST.
I have already registered for OSONOS 2019... I can't wait to reconnect
with some of my old friends and meet some of the people I have seen
online.
I have watched your Genuine Contact work evolve from a distance. I
noticed the pre-OSONOS session is from a module in your Genuine
Contact program. I am wondering, as someone who still uses OST, if
there is something in particular your approach might be distinct...
something to add to my learning. At the same time, I don't want to
take a spot that someone just learning about OST might benefit from.
What are your thoughts?
