Re: [OSList] Good questions for a OS

Great question and great ideas and answers. I agree with most. I try to stay out of the formulation but facilitate the group to come up with a formulation that they agree on. I also use the ’does this turn you on’ test. Think I got it from you Chris Corrigan, years ago (thanks:)). I rhink the

Re: [OSList] Good questions for a OS

I find this useful: Creation of a powerful theme statement is critical, for it will be the central mechanism for focussing discussion and inspiring participation. The theme statement, however, cannot be lengthy, dry, recitation of goals and objectives. It must have the capacity to inspire particip

Re: [OSList] Good questions for a OS

Great question Craig! I often go for a “what’s possible” question like the one in the picture below from bringing together journalists and librarians. (What’s possible for our communities and democracy when journalists and librarians work together?) I also like questions that have some dynamic

Re: [OSList] Good questions for a OS

Re: [OSList] Good questions for a OS

I don't remember how I came to this, but the phrase I often use is, "Broad enough to be inclusive and narrow enough to be actionable." The often animated and intense dialogue that follows explores productive tensions and two core values: inclusivity and action - inclusion of people, inclusi

I do not post often, but I read the Open Space Posts regularly and find them thought-provoking and helpful. Thanks! I practice Open Space in multiple contexts professionally and in my own person life. Am a strong believer in what it creates and invites from and out in others and myself. . .
