I'm 100 per cent with Chris Corrigan on this one.
Regarding senior management's full participation in Open Space, it's one of
those situations when you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. In
such situations my default is "do it", because you're damned anyway (in a

Dear Raffi,
I put my money on the force of selforganisation.
In fact, in the many contacts I had with sponsors (often "leaders",
"managers") they often asked me

--should I perhaps not go to the sessions so people can talk freel
Dear Keith
Excellent news! That warmed my heart. Look forward to our next catch up.

Hi to all
I am working with a group that wants to organize a open space event in a
highly “political” context : Theme is very sensitive, has been discussed
for years by all actors without any results except fights and division. But
now context has changed and they feel that if they, actors of the

I'm just coming back and catching up after almost 3 months of absence. I am so
sorry to hear the news about your father's health. At the same time I hear in
your words how more loving and happy your relationship is with him now. This is
not only a wonderful evolution but it is surely
Dear Eva, thanks for sharing such intereting insights! I´d like to know more
about some points you mention:
- It must be difficult to combine letting go and holding back, isn´t it?
- I feel curious about your criteria to decide not attending certain
sessions. Could you share any example?
Dear All
last week Yaari Pannwitz has run an Open Space at my
module "Conditions and tools: Change Management" as part of the first
semester of the study programme "Global Change Management" at University
of Applied Sciences at Eberswalde, Germany (www.hnee.de)
This was a valuable learning for me
Dear colleagues,

their good judgement guide them in the moment, as that is what everyone else

Christine, your question about the challenging OST event you are working on

for weeks.
I'm wondering how much it is a practice for all you to talk to or

Hola Jaime -
I am sure Gail West or other colleagues in Taiwan may share about OS
being used by our colleagues in Taiwan - with villagers in the
southern part of the island whose villages and lives have been
dramatically affected by massive storms.
Be well,

Hello, wonderful Christine -
I agree with Ms. Pat - you can always be the one to hold the
microphone and whisper 'just the title', tell the group 'just the
headline - they will have to come to your group to learn the story' -
or as I sometimes say - 'sentence, not paragraph' with a smile.
Dear All
Thank you dearly for your comments. I didn't mean to offend anybody, being
51 myself. Most of the Grey Panther people are over 70, and still very
active. Just so you don't get the impression the Swiss all retire with 55
and then become fatalist. :-) (Our official retirement age is 65.)
