For me... just because a conference convenor might ask me to do Open Space - and even though I love Open Space - does not mean I would do it. I have so many other questions to ask them before I know what process 'tool' is a best fit for the objectives, desired outcomes, time available, physical

I agree with Chris on this. It saddens me when people become dogmatically purist about, of all things, open space. Also the distaste for programmed conference is outdated and childish. Open Space itself has changed the deeper orientation many people have to scheduled events; often an programmed ev

Definitely a different experience leading a track rather than a whole event. More work and less fun facilitating, but neither of those are deal killers for me. Usually. Another view that I encourage as strongly as I can get away with, in parallel or serial designs, is one that understands open spa

In a complex world there are never "nevers". Who knows how it will work or not, whether it is correct or not or whether it is just what is needed. More important than guessing about how it will go will be learning about how it went. Perhaps we will hear the story. Chris -- CHRIS CORRIGAN Har

2014-04-24 Thread Daniel Mezick
Open Space includes a theme, and proceedings. It also asks that no other events be going on at the same time. That's why the XP2014 event in Rome gives me pause. Someone here mentioned that this event is offering a "parallel Open Space". Wow. Is that right? The last time I checked, the Ope
