Michael and Chris - do you allot time to review the notes prior to
organizing them?
Thanks

Again, a bunch of great ideas and perspectives on this thread.
After considering it more, I am going to propose to the sponsor that
we adjust our convergence process. Per Michael and Chris's
suggestions, I will propose that participants organize the notes
into themes. This will assist meaning-making and pattern
recognition. Then, I will invite participants to vote on the themes
that they would like to see turned into OKRs. The top 3 get turned
into OKRs using the iterative sprints.
This approach seems more organic and simple. It also seems to flow
better, and it requires less facilitation.
I also like Ilan's ideas about structuring the notes towards the
outcomes. I may also incorporate that.
Thanks again!

Extending this to an Open Space format, let the structure guide
the outcomes.
For example, have the session summary sheets have, in addition
to topic, convener and participants, titles for Main Objective
and for Key Results. You may wish to add (see if you can find
about 3 SMART key results) - if you want to guide participants
towards the OKRs concept. That said with a invitation to favor
the more open and the less prescriptive approach.
As for the initiatives session, one thing we had at a client is
to prepare a large board with a table having tall rubrics for Os
on the left side, and wider and shorter rubrics for KRs in the
right.
During this session, participants - conveners and other - were
invited to place their Os and KRs in the board and share what
they found passion and responsibility for to take forward.
In effect, that way self-organized teams were formed to make
these initiatives happen.

No... If the sponsor already knows which OKR’s will matter,
then that would be “pre-set” answers, and I would forget
about open space. But specifying that “we are trying to
generate new OKRs” is a fine invitation, because it’s open
and the sponsor should be generally curious about what will
come out of it and how results will be used.

Reviewing again this article
<https://www.openspaceworld.org/files/tmnfiles/choosingopenspace(Bolton).html>
by Diane Blair. She mentions two critical success factors
for Open Space. One is that the sponsor does not have
"pre-set outcomes." Would generating OKRs be considered a
pre-set outcome you think?

Thank you everyone for your feedback! It is much
welcomed, and you have provided a lot to chew on.
It's such a treat to hear from experienced
practitioners.
Some info:
* I have one day for the event
* There are about 30 participants: assistant
managers to the SVP
* Objectives are strategic initiatives, and key
results are how you measure your success
* We need to define both objectives and key
results by the end of the day: so, it's a
tight time-frame
At this moment, I feel that I am too far down the
line with the sponsor to switch up the schedule
too much.
I learned 25/10 Crowdsourcing in my Open Space
Genuine Contact training for formulating
recommendations and have found it to work well.
That said, I am open to learning how to let go of
control even more and will explore the many
options provided on this thread for future events.
I'm definitely open to learning more about how I
can work "less hard" per Michael Pannwitz's
comment. :)
Also, I have incorporated some of your suggestions
in my "convergence" design:
* After the group generates the top 10 draft
objectives from 25/10 Crowdsourcing, I will
invite the group to arrange them into 3 themes
rather than voting on them.
* I will invite self-organization to refine the
themes in parallel. The group members will be
able to choose which theme(s) they want to
refine (or not) in a series of sprints with
sprint reviews. The same setup with key results.
Learning as I go as we all do. :)
Much love,
Jake

Dear Jake____
I don’t fully understand, of course, but am
wondering what the purpose/expected outcome is
for this development process and also there
must be no more than 3 O’s? I understand they
are not yet defined, but should be
identified/agreed on in the OST?____
My experience from similar situations is that
it is not that well thought through or that
the opportunities at hand if choosing to use
OST are not fully understood.____
Good night from Sweden____

*Ämne:* [OSList] From Open Space to objectives
and key results (OKRs)?____
__ __
Hi folks,____
__ __
Anyone have experience using Open Space to
develop OKRs with a group?____
__ __
I am facilitating an Open Space event in late
February. I plan to use the 25/10
Crowdsourcing method to prioritize draft
objectives (O's) and then 1-2-4-All to develop
the key results (KR's) for each objective. ____
__ __
The sponsor wants a maximum of 3 objectives.
It might get a little hairy if the clear
cutoff for the 25/10 Crowdsourcing is greater
than 3. Guess I could use voting to narrow it
down. Also, I am exploring if consent
decision-making could be useful. The sponsor
might need to make a final call on the top 3
if the group is split.____
__ __
Thanks and much love,____
Jake
