Dear all Asking how many people is enough for an Open Space event is like asking how much love is enough for a relationship. Or how much colour is enough for a rainbow. Open Space Technology escaped how and when it did for a reason. Come on. Behave yourselves! Paul Levy On 12 Jun 2013 17:23, "E

I just did one and it didn't seem to go that well... 13 people... As I reflect on it I think: - it was not set up properly, the client who was the boss may not have informed everyone what the aim was - the participants felt that they already had 'these types of discussions' in the off

Hi Paul Can you tell us a little bit more about the setul you used for the remote people ? - In the IRL workshop, did you have an adapted setup like big screen, microphones, or just PC screen / webcam on a table ? - Did the teams in the workshop worked with the Google Hangout collaborative tools (

So that is what I see happen a lot, as well, Adriana. People do not seem to take the time to explore the "why" behind process, behind facilitating - Open Space or other processes. In Open Space, for example, the principles and law may be listed somewhere on a link - but that is different tha
