Hi John, In my experience, trying to hold a full-on open space conference in parallel with a "prescriptive" (like that term) conference often has less-than-satisfying results. Several times I've been persuaded to do such a thing, and over the years I've agreed. This year, I've helped to organi

Open Space, in its "original" form is sparse simplicity to say the least. Ten to fifteen minutes introduction, and it is off the races, or in my case, off to take a nap. The evolution of this format followed a simple dictum: "Think of one more thing NOT to do." Over time in my practice I simply rem

John – I’m not sure there is an “official story” (“the Official Story that Open Space doesn't work in parallel.”) But if so, I guess I am the guilty party. At least that is what I wrote in “The User’s Guide.” Anyhow... nothing doctrinaire about it, but that had been my experience, and I think t

Hi John, I wonder what kind of group your report of the [prescriptive gathering] is describing. I wonder if it is: * an open-to-the-public event; like a conference, or * a community-type gathering; like people in a community of practice, or * an event inside a business org, like a corpora
