Re: [OSList] Deep Visioning

2016-09-20 Thread Suzanne Daigle via OSList
Bonjour chère Christine,

What a lovely gift that you share this invitation and adventure with us. I
imagine the possibilities of so much coming from it. Simply by opening
space, again and again over the course of a year and beyond.

It would start with a co-creative invitation that captures the bigger
purpose and imagines the issues, the possibilities, the reflections and
actions to follow.

I was particularly drawn to your intro.

"I came across a potential client who wants to co-create a vision involving
all collaborators  (2500 people in 11 countries) and even more (clients,
suppliers..) and is looking for someone to help them for this one-year
process.'

I imagined how much could happen by simply opening space between them and
with them. You could, involve a small diverse representative team from the
2500 to execute on the planning steps, a team whose mission is to invite
and involve others, to carry out the logistics, etc. Not one open space but
many with a compelling overarching theme.

The start is a Why of doing this. What is at stake?

As the answers reveal themselves and if a decision to proceed is made
then...

A small team and host could create a compelling theme that captures the
context and mission of the co-creative vision they seek.

It would include questions, history and future. It would meet the criteria
of a good theme and invitation that we know so well: urgent, complex,
diverse, etc.

By doing the work themselves, it would would acknowledge the shared
ownership with all stakeholders in the organization. It honors the wisdom,
creativity, passion and responsibility that is there already.  A deep
knowing, a trust in the organization and its partners (clients and
suppliers).

The planning work with others provides opportunities for shared learning
around Open Space, the basic steps in a process that we know so well and
the deeper thinking that invites action and transformation. With guiding
principles and a law that also invite the wisdom within us.

I even imagine many future Open Space facilitators, opening space
throughout the year, formally and informally.

As a facilitator, you have no attachment to outcome. Yet there is a deep
trust in outcome, the outcomes of whatever is meant to happen by this
company that is inviting so much by truly inviting all to be involved.

The same would be true of the planning work, sharing the tasks, doing the
simple things, inviting, logistics, newsroom... Always involving from
within and keeping it simple.

Together this small team would get a glimpse and a feel of the breadth and
scope of the topics, the discussions and emergent convergence, intuiting it
before it happens.

They would imagine colleagues, clients and suppliers engaged as never
before, living the Law of Two Feet, conversing, documenting and activating
what is waiting to emerge. A Vision and so much more. They would feel
proud, excited and energized.

With this simple process of Open Space, the wisdom and will of an
organization will discover itself.

A few years ago I was asked by a company celebrating their 10 years to
facilitate an Open Space that would create their next 10 years. It was just
a day and at first I was sad about this but by involving in the planning
and trusting...much space opened and continues to open to this day. Their
theme was: "The next 10 years. It's up to us!"

As I read your note, I could not help but think of Village Care in Africa.
What they have done over the past 10 years is beyond words. Open Space at
the heart of it though indeed it is so much more. Quietly with such human
magnificence, they are teaching us the way! And I am so humbled by them.

http://villagecare.com/

Christine, as a colleague and friend, I can imagine no better person than
you to open space with this company.

Suzanne

[OSList] Open Space and Interfaith

2016-09-20 Thread Sari Heidenreich via OSList
Hi Nick,

I saw your question regarding interfaith and open space! I work with
interfaith groups all around the world as part of the United Religions
Initiative. I don't know, off the top of my head, of a specific example of
Open Space being used, but I have reached out to some of my colleagues to
see if they do, and I will get back to you!

In Peace,

Hi Karl,

Can you explain the link you see between lean canvas and story development ? 
I don’t see it, I must confess. I know lean canvas for business models, but not 
for stories..

Hi Rotem

I love it too.
I would be interested in knowing how long it took to do the entire process in 
the 30 countries, how you managed the language issue and how the crowd wisdom 
was handled to create the final vision of values.

Thanks for sharing !

Re: [OSList] Open Space and Interfaith

2016-09-20 Thread Judy Gast via OSList
Nick, I designed and facilitated a two day event with about 40 ecumenists a 
year ago. I have never seen a group get so deep so fast and understand the 
benefits of the open space process. Think that it was helpful that we book 
ended the event with services, led by several of the senior participants and 
sponsors. We also had an opening evening, get to know each other, where each 
participant reflected on the question "tell us a story about when you have had 
an unanticipated surprise or blessing".  That helped people get in the right 
mood and intention so that when we kick off the open space they went right to 
work.

Re: [OSList] Open Space and Interfaith

2016-09-20 Thread Judy Gast via OSList
The one Harrison refers to is the one that I mentioned in my previous post.  It 
was supposed to be 100 but due to the fact the pope was in Washington at the 
same time only about 45 came.

As mentioned it was the most poignant and productive open space I have been 
involved with.  There were some very deeply held beliefs that were discussed 
openly. Ecumenists by definition, are folks that should/are open to finding 
common ground amongst all the  various truisms and universalisms amongst their 
various faiths.  Although all were Catholic or Protestant, we did have some 
Christian scientists and others who hold differing beliefs than the other sects.


Nick, glad to discuss further if helpful.
