Douglas,
Thank you for daring to challenge one of the orthodoxies of Open Space
facilitation.
Here's how I (currently) see it:
Open Space Technology is a 'tool' of co-creation.
Co-creation means, among other things, 'we're all in this together'.
So I guess this means that the facilitator is an
Hallo Douglas and all. That post ought to get something going!
My own sense is that you may be talking at two different levels (or maybe
"quadrants" - apologies to KW) at the same time here: one of process and
one of proceeds.
I believe the "orthodoxy" as you call it (not getting involved) refers

Thanks for your thoughtful replies. I need to think about them a bit.
But I am a little lost when it comes to quadrants as you are using them
here. I think I get "U/L" as "upper left," but what are the quadrants? I do
not want to let this discussion get sidetracked, so if th
Hi Douglas.
I have sent you off-list an excerpt from a web page I came across which
should give you an idea of Wilber's essential thinking. If you have not
read him, do. He is a (sometimes thoroughly unlikeable) intellectual giant.
A recent book which summarizes much of his previous work is called

I guess if we ever get to the point that we have orthodox dogma that takes

Hi,
I generally no longer participate in spaces I'm asked to open. My thinking
about this has always been influenced by what I understand to be solid group
dynamics research, but lately I've realized something else.
First, the apparent research results... I'm told that the facilitator is

i have a paper posted online, as the heart of the 'inviting organization'
collection that translates and integrates ken wilber, open space, angeles
arriens, emery, fast company and maybe something else into quadrants for

My two (or twenty) cents worth: The debate over holding space is an
interesting one to me because in my experience it comes so naturally. It is
"paying attention to, being aware of, staying in the energetic field of, being
with". It is all of those things and so much more - yet I believe you
As an OST facilitator, if I truly believe the expertise is in the room, then it

Sometimes people don't know what they don't know. Sometimes, like fish, the

could help to complete the expertise equation.
plus, lets keep in mind that sometimes we're facilitating open space with a

let's keep in mind that if we want a number of ongoing activities to come out
of this, and want them to continue to unfold in an open space way, it is
important for the leaders of those (downstream spaceholders) to have seen us
pulse back and forth across
One of the questions I ask myself in this type of spaceholding is-
Whose needs am I serving? It always helps me with the decision of
