Re: [OSList] “regular lurker” + our OSTLIST web platform

[Jeff Aitken via OSList]

Curiously noticing the response on the facebook Open Space Technology group to 
a similar invitation to share stories. I used Daniel's words, however with less 
detail about the 'game'. 

Anyway there has been one response so far in a week. I assume the fb group has 
more people but is less interactive than the oslist. 

Does anyone have experiences of interaction about open space in other online 
formats?

Thanks
Jeff

Re: [OSList] Who has facilitated at least 7 OST events?

[Brendan McKeague via OSList]

G'day folks - from a warm and windy Western Australia

I've just read this wonderful thread - very nourishing bonus for my spirit this 
morning after returning from a couple of hours engaged with the sun, sand and 
surf of the Indian Ocean...

I first came across Open Space in 1998 at an event facilitated by Andrea 
Barrett in Perth, WA - loved it and felt like a homecoming that contained my 
passion for nonviolence, conflict transformation, peacebuilding and 
facilitation. I muddled through a couple of OST sorta meetings soon after, 
courtesy of the Users Guide that Andrea gifted me along with some coaching, and 
then a year later I accessed some support to get to Brisbane (one friend passed 
me some frequent flyer points and another provided me with cash to pay the 
course fees) to participate in a luxurious four-day training with Birgitt 
Williams after which I connected with Fr Brian Bainbridge in Melbourne and then 
I was really up and running - interacting with Brian's amazing clarity, 
commitment and encouragement, stepping out into circle of invitations and 
self-organising, and meeting so many inspiring and generous people through 
various WOSonOS mtgs (Melbourne, San Francisco, Berlin) and on this gift List 
of wisdom

I have facilitated around 300 'formal' OST meetings over the past 15 years, 
ranging from 4-400'ish, mostly in Australia, also in UK, USA, Thailand, 
Philippines and Singapore

I continue to meet amazing people - in addition to so many OS practitioners 
online and in the flesh - those who are ready to sponsor an event and step out 
into the unknown territory of letting go, living in mystery and embracing 
emergence...

Living in Open Space, occasionally facilitating the process in event format, is 
still teaching me about this on a daily basis! 

I'm finding that OST as a meeting methodology is most appealing to those 
leaders/sponsors who wish to address complex issues, engage collective wisdom 
through invitation to passion and responsibility, and seek emergent design

Recently I facilitated a couple of OST meetings:  in Sydney with about 60 
regional health service managers wishing to 'create a culture of innovation' 
and in the Sunshine Coast of Queensland with about 350 members of the Uniting 
Church Synod who wished to open up their way of being with each other in order 
to address their future together.

I am grateful for the spark that fired the flame of OS around the planet and 
for the opportunities that I have received from connecting to a spirit that has 
changed and challenged my life...long may it continue!

Cheers
Brendan

Re: [OSList] Who has facilitated at least 7 OST events?

[via OSList]

I am based in Seoul, and have facilitated around 20 OST events for last 11 
years, and the last one was for a 25-people group of a multinational IT company 
in Nov. 2014.

 

I wish you all the best for the holiday season and new year!

Hi All,

 

And yes to facilitating 7 or more OST events.

 

I'm based in Melbourne Australia... A few stone throws to Viv McWaters who is

The last OST event was a leadership forum for 300 leaders held at the infamous 
MCG in November. :)

 

Wishing all a merry Christmas and happy new year!

My response is similar to Pauls, qualitatively at least.

 

How many times Facilitating Open Space Technology?  I can count 10.

How many times holding space that any of us here would pick up the invitation, 
feel the space and see the colours of the dance and say "hey, that is open 
space!"?  Maybe 30 or 40.

 

My hair is dark brown.

 

I prefer to dance to a latin beat, but that is purely coincidental.

I've facilictated around 50 gatherings using Open Space Technology.

 

And therein lies a possible interesting conundrum.

 

Because I have open space thousands of times. I have also never opened space 
quite like the next time it is going to happen. So the number if many and zero.

 

I've also opened space improvising around open space technology. And Open Space 
Technology has changed around me. Self-organisation has tinkered with the 
"recipe" - the one in the guide. But that gets talked about a lot less on this 
list and, increasingly, a bunch of "open spacer" are sharing those stories 
elsewhere.

 

There is no such thing as open space technology. There is no guide. There is no 
"founder", there are no gatekeepers; yet there are all of these things.

 

Tomorrow might just be my first ever Open Space.

So interesting ... so much depth.  Seems like something to ... explore

So: if you want, you are cordially invited to play ... let's call it the OST-7 
Game:



The OST-7 Game


The Goal:
Get a collective idea of how many people here have actually Facilitated 7 or 
more OST events in their lifetime. Put another way: what is the depth of 
practical OST facilitation experience across the entire membership?

The Rules:
If you have Facilitated at least 7 OST events, consider replying with "hey" ... 
or optionally, with absolutely anything else you might like to say, for 
example: where you are located, last time you did one, your hair color, etc

Tracking Progress:
Watch the thread to track progress, by: # of replies, # of countries, # of OST 
events, replies per unit of time, # of people with red hair, or absolutely any 
other measures you like

Play:
100% optional. Play if you like. If you've done more 7 or more and prefer to 
just watch the game, that's OK too. 





Notes:

*   For this game, "OST" means something like this: 
http://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm
*   This is for Facilitating only; consider replying if you've Facilitated 
at least 7 of these events in your lifetime.
*   Please reply by clicking [Reply All] Or [Reply List], so the thread 
stays together, under the same subject


Steps to Play:

*   Click [Reply All] Or [Reply List]
*   Reply with "hey" or with absolutely anything else you might like to say


You are invited. What might happen next? Let's see...

Provide them with a report form that has a so for the groups to record next

Hi everyone,
I am asked for my first Open Space! By a group of parents who are homeschooling 
their children and want to form as an association. 
They already planned the meeting for the 10th of January. The duration for the 
planned event is 3h30 and there will be a shared meal before it. It really 
seems short to me for an Open Space. 
There will be around 40 adults and 30 children. The children will be taken care 
of by some adults, but some of them may also take part to the event. It would 
be great :)
We had no preparation meeting so on as I was just contacted but they already 
sent me by email some of the subjects they would like to discuss. Even if I 
know that in OST subjects are not planned in advance, I share them with you as 
a way to determine if OST can be a good thing for this group of people  :
 -  Aims and objectives of the non-profit we could create.
-  What are the resources we want to give ourselves (time, energy, money) ?
-  What are our resources for the long term? 
-  How to build a sustainable association or group that does not depend on one 
or two persons? 
-  The creation and role a committee could have in the non profit
- Would we like to merge or collaborate with the Homeschool Association of 
Switzerland?Pros, cons, how?    
-  Next steps
-  Articles of the non-profit
- What is the aim of the non profit? Create activities? Support people in their 
choice? To be known?  

I have also understood that the situation is tense, because some cantons in 
Switzerland are going towards forbiding Homeschooling.

As it would be my first Open Space, any advice is welcome. I am especially 
wondering if Open Space is a first good step in that case and what can be 
realistically achieved in 3h30 by a group of people that mostly don't know each 
other and would like to have some consensual concrete next steps at the end of 
the afternoon. 
Any advice welcome, even if it is to say : please do something else :) 
Thanks!

Re: [OSList] When did you first hear about OST?

[Chris Kloth via OSList]

I first learned about OST through Ralph Copleman. We had met through  
our Future Search work and hit it off immediately. Sometime around  
1992-1994 he suggested my colleague, Terry Swango, and I come to this  
event that he and his colleagues were hosting focused on org  
transformation, something called Open Space and a lot of good people.  
We attended and the the next stage of our journey began that weekend.

From the thread, " [OSList] Who has facilitated at least 7 OST events??

}

You are cordially invited to play:

*The OST-When Game*


*The Goal:*

·_To get a collective idea_of when & how members here actually  
became aware of OST, noting any patterns and how these patterns may  
(or may not) be changing over time.


·_To know the stories_of others, and (optionally, if you choose to  
play,) to disclose your own story.


*The Rules:*

·If you know anything at all about OST, as described below, you are  
invited to play.


·You play the game by answering in reply to the question:

//

/?When did you first hear about OST?/?

·If you opt-in to playing, then: /for purposes of playing this  
game/, you are joining with all the other players, in explicitly  
authorizing, consenting to (and in fact agreeing to) the definition  
of OST that this game uses, listed below in the Notes section.


·Beyond this, nothing further is expected of you, and there are  
absolutely no other rules whatsoever.



*Tracking Progress:*
You can track progress by watching the various properties of the  
thread, such as:


·# of stories, the length or brevity of stories,

·the tone/tempo/velocity/volume of replies, # of countries heard from,

·levels of seriousness, or humor or,

·absolutely anything else you might be paying attention to as people play it.

*Play*:

·Playing this game is 100% invitational and therefore 100%  
optional?if you know about OST, you are invited to play!


*Notes*:

 * This is the link to the definition of OST that this game is using:

Hey.
I¹ve facilitated many dozens of Open Spaces in meetings and rehearsals and
MAYBE ten where someone has given me money to facilitate (as if that were my
job). (it isn¹t my job.)
I¹m not sure I understood the Œrules¹ so may be replying in the wrong
thread. (whoever replies is in the right thread?)
I very occasionally post on this list.
I much more often read it.
I love people¹s thinking, awarenesses, interests, divergences on this list.
Thank you. 
I like questions that are games,even if I¹m not sure of the rules ...
I lurk and I have facilitated over 7 OS¹s.

Definitely a lurker.  I think I posted a couple of times.  Such a
positive list with world wide participants, so great.  A cool
combination of experienced practitioners and new comers.

[OSList] All I want for Christmas

[via OSList]

Dear Open Space buddies

 

May I wish you and yours a very merry Christmas and a bountiful new year – with 
peace, health and prosperity. I have uploaded my  
 Christmas message to You Tube: 
please enjoy.

 

And in the meantime, I have adopted a word for 2015 from  
 Adoptaword, as I have now done for several years, 
to raise money that helps children communicate. My word for this year is: hope. 
I have explained why on  
 my 
blog, but in essence, the world and me needs of a lot of this right now. What 
word would you adopt for 2015? 

 

If you have any spare time and want to get involved, as I am, in an NSPCC 
project to help primary school children be happy and safe, you might find  
 this 
video intriguing. 

And if you have not got time, perhaps you know someone who has.

 

With all my very best seasonal wishes of good will 

 

Jon

We just completed our second open space with kids at a high school in 
Birmingham Uk.. With the Sandwell Police engagement team.

The kids get it…just difficult to get the adults to give up their power roles…..

But if you ever get to meet PC Hughie Treasure I’m sure you will know that he 
is a dweller on the threshold.. The things he has done with lifers in prison 
mentoring 16 year olds is amazing!!

Subject: [OSList] First open space, advices needed :)

Hi everyone,


I am asked for my first Open Space! By a group of parents who are homeschooling 
their children and want to form as an association.
They already planned the meeting for the 10th of January. The duration for the 
planned event is 3h30 and there will be a shared meal before it. It really 
seems short to me for an Open Space.


There will be around 40 adults and 30 children. The children will be taken care 
of by some adults, but some of them may also take part to the event. It would 
be great :)


We had no preparation meeting so on as I was just contacted but they already 
sent me by email some of the subjects they would like to discuss. Even if I 
know that in OST subjects are not planned in advance, I share them with you as 
a way to determine if OST can be a good thing for this group of people  :


 -  Aims and objectives of the non-profit we could create.
-  What are the resources we want to give ourselves (time, energy, money) ?
-  What are our resources for the long term?
-  How to build a sustainable association or group that does not depend on one 
or two persons?
-  The creation and role a committee could have in the non profit
- Would we like to merge or collaborate with the Homeschool Association of 
Switzerland?Pros, cons, how?
-  Next steps
-  Articles of the non-profit
- What is the aim of the non profit? Create activities? Support people in their 
choice? To be known?



I have also understood that the situation is tense, because some cantons in 
Switzerland are going towards forbiding Homeschooling.



As it would be my first Open Space, any advice is welcome. I am especially 
wondering if Open Space is a first good step in that case and what can be 
realistically achieved in 3h30 by a group of people that mostly don't know each 
other and would like to have some consensual concrete next steps at the end of 
the afternoon.


Any advice welcome, even if it is to say : please do something else :)


Thanks!

[OSList] Another regular lurker

[Elspeth Murray via OSList]

Hey OS List Folks,

I've not posted before ...
I have been tempted to but ...
I don't really know who's out there!
I've not been on the list long and I get the daily digest.

Long time fan of OS and facilitated my first OS a few weeks ago.

Used the concept of Authentic Presence in OS in a recent reflection I was
invited to give at my local Episcopal church in Edinburgh, Scotland:

Anne-Béatrice:
I think that if they start whith that time it si OK and after that if they
decide tomake a longer OS that would be  very nice and they will have
really time for some action planing. But this will be a very good way to
make them know each other and generate trust among them.
I would love to facilitate an OS with children involved! PLease tell us
after how it whent!
I think that the group that contacted you with your herlp needs to chose a
theme, a general question that in meaningful  and all the other small
topics will be proposed by the group that day if they are significant
enough, if people bring thoes topics and issues when creating the agenda
together.
Congratulations!
Adriana

Hi Anne-Béatrice,

Your event sounds challenging and interesting, and a good match for Open 
Space.


You say "The duration for the planned event is 3h30 and there will be a 
shared meal before it. It really seems shortto me for an Open Space. "


You also say: "what can be realistically achieved in 3h30 by a group of 
people that mostly don't know each other and would like to have some 
consensual concrete next steps at the end of the afternoon. "


Given the situation as described:
"...I have also understood that the situation is tense, because some 
cantons in Switzerland are going towards forbiding Homeschooling."


...and...given the desire to have "Articles of the non-profit", with 
"group of people that mostly don't know each other" etc, you might want 
to consider a 2-day event.


A 2-day event includes time for everyone to sleep on it" and can more 
likely address many of the challenges the group is facinf. It may also 
help the group with it's wider intention to (perhaps) create a formal 
organization. A 3h30 minute event is probably way too short a time to 
achieve these goals. That's my guess...


Do you have more questions about the subject of time?

Daniel

Hi everyone,

I am asked for my first Open Space! By a group of parents who are
homeschooling their children and want to form as an association.
They already planned the meeting for the 10th of January. The duration
for the planned event is 3h30 and there will be a shared meal before it.
It really seems shortto me for an Open Space.

There will be around 40 adults and 30 children. The children will be
taken care of by some adults, but some of them may also take part to the
event. It would be great :)

We had no preparation meeting so on as I was just contacted but they
already sent me by email some of the subjects they would like to
discuss. Even if I know that in OST subjects are not planned in advance,
I share them with you as a way to determine if OST can be a good thing
for this group of people  :

  -  Aims and objectives of the non-profit we could create.
-  What are the resources we want to give ourselves (time, energy, money) ?
-  What are our resources for the long term?
-  How to build a sustainable association or group that does not depend
on one or two persons?
-  The creation and role a committee could have in the non profit
- Would we like to merge or collaborate with the Homeschool Association
of Switzerland?Pros, cons, how?
-  Next steps
-  Articles of the non-profit
- What is the aim of the non profit? Create activities? Support people
in their choice? To be known?

I have also understood that the situation is tense, because some cantons
in Switzerland are going towards forbiding Homeschooling.

As it would be my first Open Space, any advice is welcome. I am
especially wondering if Open Space is a first good step in that case and
what can be realistically achieved in 3h30 by a group of people that
mostly don't know each other and would like to have some consensual
concrete next steps at the end of the afternoon.

Any advice welcome, even if it is to say : please do something else :)

Thanks!
