Re: Diane Gibeault in Switzerland

AFter reading your last post, Harrison, I am now convinced that it's not just a select few but really anybody is susceptible to what seems to be seasonal kookiness. I have noticed in the last few years that the most unexpected (dare I say shocking?) things find their ways onto the list in April,

Re: Ideas Workshop virtuele werelden en online communities voor Universiteit Utrecht

Rob, I have unfortunately no tips regarding traditional workshops, but what do you think about the following idea: Invite the students and the professors first to an OST meeting. If your client has not much time you could offer also a mini OST. [We have lots of colleagues her in this communit

Re: Diane Gibeault in Switzerland

Raffi, I confess. The quirky side of me got the upper hand. My apologies :-) But there was a serious point. The theme (question/issue) of an Open Space is the critical part of the invitation. Without that theme nobody will know whether they care to come - whether they will accept the invitation

Re: Ideas Workshop virtuele werelden en online communities voor Universiteit Utrecht

Hi Rob, mmh, I am not sure if I understand your question correctly. Groups, which have the opportunity to meet in one physical room or location have the luck to be in an OST meeting, and groups who cannot or do not want to meet face-to-face have the luck to meet in an OpenSpace-Online meeting.

Re: Ideas Workshop virtuele, online communities, Open Space

Hello, fabulous Rob - You asked: Do you think it is actually necessary to be in one physical room to do an open space. In my experience it is good whenever possible to meet in-person first - to give people a 'body sense' of each other - then if necessary to continue work in virtual/on-line

What to do with 1.5 to 2 hours

This week, I worked with a client, as many before, who wanted an event that began with substantial sharing of new ideas and information about telemedicine. Few of the close to 200 participants really knew what the possibilities were and so telling that story was key and it took a couple of hours i

Re: What to do with 1.5 to 2 hours

Larry, You said: We closed the session with a half-hour fishbowl conversation of initiators and reporters that did transcend reporting back and got into good conversation (not presentation) with new insights. I'm intrigued with this approach as a very creative way of handling the desire that

Found Poem -- from OSLIST Message Titles, March 2007

Here, dear colleagues, is a Found Poem I have created for you. It is composed of words taken from the titles of the emails that appeared on the OSLIST during the month of March. To the best of my ability, I have listed as poets all of the originators of the initial messages with those titles. Th

Hello, dear colleagues - I have had a lovely interchange with our current Poet Laureate, Ms. Teresa Pokasony. She has held space for poetry on the OSLIST for the last several months, and many pieces of poetry have emerged during her time wearing the laurels. I had the honor of being the OS

Dear Lisa I want to second your words about the value of indicating the circle in online facilitated meetings. Lately we´ve been experimenting quite successfully to facilitate meetings using MSN and found this to be very useful. Ask each participant to write a circle and place each participant in

Thank you, Joelle for the story. Harrison, I have experienced OST working even when its wonders were demonstrated. It felt awkward to participate in it, but for those who'd never experienced (demo-)OST, it was inspiring. Mikhail Pronin and I were invited to St. Petersburg in fall 2005 to see a c
