Agree with Michael. I too have facilitated both large and small meetings
and the difference can be that the group want to stay together through
all topics, at least to start with. I also think the energy is more
intense and sometimes it takes a little bit more awareness from the
facilitator to not

Hi Paul
Good questions and great responses, all based on experience.So, it is
true that "experience is the best teacher" and "experience is what you get
just after you need it."
So my comments would be as follow:

Dear Hege,
thanks for your question on the design of the mind map.
Before addressing your specific question I talk a bit more about the
entire Planning Meeting design assuming that this will also show more
clearly the purpose of the mind map phase itself.
Also, I want to point out that as we ke

actually, I often have felt the way you describe, why dont they just

I never made it a condition for taking on the job.

Hi,
When I facilitated a team of 7, when some people suggested to stick as a group
for all topics, I encouraged them to try out the OS approach for at least the
first round and see for themselves if they will experience something useful and
different from their usual way of working.
They did
Dear Paul,
No apologies for the recurrent questions. I love your questions; they are
very real and inspire me more than you realize.
During my corporate career, I was involved in acquisitions and
downsizings. Much prefer the first to the second however, what I learned
is that it is during thos
hi paul,
i experienced a few open spaces with a rather unusual small number of
participants. from my point of view it works quite well, thus it can get fairly
rough and intense and beautifully exhaustive for everyone involved.
alongside i noticed that one as facilitator is far more present and
a couple of weeks ago, I also had a very small group, around 7. It ended up to
be a marvelous discussion. We only had 2 hours from start to finish. I broke
the rules and became involved in a discussion. It was a very positive
experience. A couple of attendees came to our session last year
I should added that the article is by Hugh Huntington and starts ( I think)
on page 81. And for anybody else who cares, you might check out
www.openspaceworld.com in the "books" section where you will find PDF
versions of other out of print - but hopefully not out of date - books. They
are all free
Hi Paul,
I will comment on the 2nd part of your question.
Issues like new org structure and downsizing have wide impact. These types of
issues can be a very good theme for a wider audience than the 9-person
management team (if not the entire organization). I would suggest to the
management
Right on! Chuni!! Given the nature of the issue, doing a OS with the WHOLE
company (at least all those who care about the company) is really critical.
The wisdom of nine contrasted with the collective wisdom and experience of
everybody else is pretty small, to say the least. And the buy in from
eve
HI Paul,
There is only one bit of awkwardness that I've experienced in a small
OS. It's happened a few times. After the agenda is on the wall, one
participant might suggest out loud that the group stay together to
talk about all of the agenda items.
If the group agrees with one another to do this
Hi Paul:
I Love you question because I can share something this time! I was really
afraid of small OS because I had the fear that it could not be as good
as...a big OS but I had one experience that was so good!
I had only 7 participants but it was one day from 9:30 to 18:30 and at the
end of the da
Dear Paul,
in my experience it does work, I have facilitated several.
The tendency for the whole group to go to a particular session is larger
than in a large event but there are often many small or even very small
groups, or groups of one. So the dynamic is basically the same albeit
more inten

Apologies if this is a recurrent question... Would opening space at management
team level (9 persons) would work? The issue is a burning 'new company
