Thanks for your open letter Marai. I'm always excited and willing to receive 
feedback.

As you'll remember over a year ago I opened up the content of this article for 
comments and input from this list in the form of a Google Doc.

Such was the passion exhibited in the original thread I was eager and excited 
to receive your inputs. Unfortunately only two people replied though. I'm very 
grateful to both you and Keith Blundell for taking the time.

I must admit life took over and in my wait for more input other priorities took 
over. I'm happy to revisit it now though as I can feel the energy is back and 
I'd like to the right thing in the eyes of this excellent community.

Here's the link -

Please add your thoughts, comments and feedback and amend the article as best I 
can.

Hello Nick Martin,

I find myself tense in my belly after reading your newsletter today:

  I just wanted to share with you a popular WorkshopBank 
tool
 you can start using with your clients right away. Let me know what you think.

You suggest that the reader lets you know what they think. I choose to do that.

I also choose to do that in the form of an open letter, as several months back 
you asked on the os-list for input to your description of the OST process for 
the Workshopbank.
You introduced your version of „OST with a twist“, and there was a somewhat 
heated discussion on this list about it.
I participated in both, revising and giving you feedback on your description 
(as requested) and discussing about „is something with such a twist still OST?“

Your twist was about giving the leaders control about the 
topics.

Back then I used the analogy that you are mixing red wine with coca cola (which 
some people actually do and drink — I tried it out as a teenager).
And that calling such a beverage „red wine with a twist“ is an inaccurate 
representation of a) red wine and b) the taste that a consumer will experience.
(side note: usually, this mix is done with red wine of poor quality)

In my analogy, OST is the red wine and controlling the process 
is the coke.

In your description, you early on distinguish between OST and OST with a twist. 
I first appreciated you for making that distinction so upfront.
Then I read what you wrote under:
If you’re following the traditional Open Space Process...

  *   1

Gather your participants together and briefly explain how Open Space events 
work using Harrison Owen’s 1 Law and the Guiding Principles as appropriate. 
Traditionally you should do this with everyone in a circle around you but you 
don’t necessarily have to.

  *   2

Ask participants to spend 10 minutes thinking through if they have any issues 
they’d like to raise.

  *   3

If there is a general agreement that the issue has enough support and passion 
behind it invite the issue owner to add the issue to the schedule.

  *   4

Once all issues have been added invite the participants to sign-up for the 
sessions they’re planning on attending (they are free to change their mind 
later if they want to).

  *   5

Your sessions start.

There is much more on this page that, as I see it, is NOT "the traditional Open 
Space Process“. I am giving just some further examples:

This is a very unique approach, and I really like it!  It definitely helps set 
expectations for the coachee and also opens up the space for them to own their 
outcomes.

Hi everyone,

Bhavesh Patel had the good idea to turn on comments on the Google doc below. 
They should now be turned on, so if you'd like to provide feedback, feel free 
to do so in the document itself.

Thanks again,

It's essentially Open Space for one person. If you take a look, I'd love to

Thanks!

Re: [OSList] Is there experience in developing Open Space further in organizations and networks after the initial intervention

[Robin Muretisch, Facilitative Insights, LLC via OSList]

Hi.  I’ve recently started my own facilitation business, coming from many years 
in a corporate environment.  Having a reference for going rates would be 
helpful, to ensure I’m charging clients appropriately.  I’ve scoured 
OpenSpaceWorld.org (amazingly helpful site!!) but can’t find anything on rates. 
 Is there a resource you could point me to (on that site or elsewhere) that 
provides going rates for Open Space Facilitation in various regions of the 
world/countries?  Thanks.

Hi Harrison and Rob,
I similarly put in a quote for making a multimedia video/presentation for an 
environmental engineering company. The project manager contacted me and said I 
was far and away the best qualified person for the job but my quote was far and 
away the lowest – would I consider doubling it to avoid embarrassing the 
others...
What can you say?

Harrison, yes.

On the other hand a client almost demanded that I increase my fee by 30%.  My 
comment was we had a contract and I intended to keep to the agreed cost.  The 
underlying issue was that my event had been so successful that it made other 
similar events look very expensive.  Yet all that happened was that the process 
gave voice to all present.

Rob – you have identified one of the most curious aspects of dealing with

Couldn’t possibly happen, and doesn’t cost enough. I had one (major) corporate 
client who told me to double my fee otherwise, he said, he couldn’t possibly 
get the contract through the front office. I did what he asked and always felt 
rather guilty about it all. But he was very happy, and of course the Open Space 
“worked” as usual. For obvious reasons all names are withheld to protect the

Harrison, the process is so comfortable ie sitting in circles, speaking when 
there is something to say, listening to others, keeping our minds open to 
insights and differences etc.  Yes we do it all the time!  Therein lies an 
issue for those looking for the “silver” bullet from “outside” as the promise 
we can make is for an opportunity to explore issues and opportunities 
associated with a particular question we have little control on what might come 
and we have faith in the community of concern will have the best ways of 
dealing with their concern.  Sometimes it is a “road to Damascus experience and 
most of the time it is an insight that needs to be explored.   This raises 
another issue for those who think the one meeting will be all that is required 
and blindly race into the future thinking that change is something that others 
do.  Opening the space is more a process than an event and seeing / believing 
in this is one of the main stays of Open Space along with the faith that within 
the community of concern we have the power to implement insights and directions 
gained from empowering the community to “live”.
Regards
Rob
