I was Ona less course recently and one of the scrum master attributes was 
actively doing nothing... you could go further and look at Derrida... concept 
of absent presence

And conversely

Present by their absence

HI Jake.
I always leave the room right after closing the opening session. I am normally 
away for some time - depending on the size of the event.
The biggest it is, the less I am away. Once back most of the time I am focusing 
on keeping the space clean and in order, which means collecting cups and 
glasses, moving chairs, caring for break out spaces when there's a change in 
the sessions, doing this sort of thing. I walk a lot, always avoiding to get 
involved in any group conversation. Sometimes I chat with butterflies.
greetings from Milano

Harrison has described as being “totally invisible but completely present.”  I 
rarely leave the room. But I also never intervene. If asked to help I respond 
with “what would you like to do? Why don’t you take care of it?” It’s about 
radical return of passion and responsibility to the people. It is indeed risky. 
But the reward is immense.

Many questions these days. Thank you for entertaining them. :)

This past week, I facilitated an eight-hour Open Space split across two 
half-days. The attendees were an Organizational Development team, of which I am 
a member. My AVP sponsored the event, because we had recently merged with 
another group, and there was lack of clarity. So, our theme was: "Who are we, 
and how do we collaborate to drive success?" Also, my AVP--who is a leader in 
Learning & Development--wanted to experience Open Space in order to understand 
it better as it is new to my firm.

Since I am a fledgling facilitator, I chose not to participate in the breakout 
sessions, even though I am part of the group. I wanted to make sure that I 
provided the best experience for everyone, and participating would have 
dampened my focus. I shared this with my manager, after she inquired after the 
first day why I had not participated.

Long story short, after the event, my manager had major concerns how I 
facilitated the event. I had gone for long walks while the group was working, 
and she felt that was very risky. I told her that the facilitator's role is to 
remain "invisible" to allow the group to build its capacity for 
self-management. She said that our firm's culture is very hierarchical and that 
"baby steps" are needed. She suggested even intervening in a group if it gets 
"stuck." I believe I mentioned that intervening is not part of Open Space 
facilitation.

So my question is: how do you "hold space?" I found Chris's description on his 
website: "an Open Space Technology facilitator is neither seen nor heard, but 
his or her presence is 'felt.'" I guess by going for long walks and not being 
in the room, my presence was not "felt." One of my colleagues provided feedback 
that by not being there, it didn't seem like I cared. This is definitely not 
the case. I went on long walks as an act of love, not negligence.

Anyway, would love your thoughts.

Thanks,
Jake
