Hi Catherine,
My experiences with really short OST meetings are
mixed. My experiences with OST meetings for
demonstration purposes are not so good. Only
spectators, no play. So I only do an Open Space
meeting if there is a real issue to be discussed by passionate people.
A short Open Space
Hi, I did a 4-hour open space last year. It went really well. People seemed to enjoy it and a lot came out of it but not as much as I would have liked. But everyone went away happy to have had the experience. Best, Donna

Hi, Catherine, this is exactly what I did. I just did it because I knew they had never done an OS before and thought the idea of being self-organizing would freak them out. They did do a presentation at the end and it worked perfectly. I just wish I had had more time as I said earlier. Best, Do
My Open Spaces are usually a day (though we have meet & greets & sunday
brunches to provide some wiggle room). They seem to work well. I was
recently asked to do a 6-hour open space for about 350 people in Chicago.
It went well - very well - but we had a LOT of time beforehand to prep the

I can only add that the only time I did such a short OST in order to
demonstrate the methode did NOT lead to a client relationship. Ive come to
notice that even a 5.5 hr OS-event is too short. We deprive people of the
experience of what it is like to have ENOUGH time for their thoughts and
ideas a
Oh WOW!

Catherine Be careful. Remember I am a story teller. But in this case it is

Wow, that¹s so exciting.
I have long said (here in London) that Open Space reminds me of various hui
I attended in NZ in the 80s.
It¹s a joy to think of the Open Space spreading throughout Aotearoa from the
(literal) top (of the land) down.
Congratulations.

Dear Harrison
of course I'll trust you. You put the right words on my inner feelings
and gave me strong arguments to tell the sponsor, if needed. Your
point to do do it after and let emerge an opened discussion, is a
perfect idea.
Thanks a lot,
Catherine

Catherine - I know you have made your plans. And Plans can change. Here are
some thoughts that might move the changes along. First - The best
Presentation on Open Space is "Do it!" Nothing else comes even close. Second

Dear OS-friends,
I’ve been invited to moderate an OST for the 10th birthday of a
studying program of a high Engineering and business school. It is
called Human System engineering.
The purpose is to celebrate the anniversary and to make an OST in

Great story...and I think we have to warn people that running your first
big Open Space will almost certainly require about 18 hours of sleep the
following night, just so folks can be prepared!
Well done all...

Dear Listers
I would like to share the experience of a friend in Keri Keri, North
Island, New Zealand on 7 June when he opened his first space. Kim's sole
preparation was attending one of my events in Edinburgh a zillion years
ago, a cry for help when he volunteered to help his newly elected memb
