Dear Marc, dear all, 

 

I do not have a time laps, but maybe my experience with an online OS using Zoom 
and a digital wall in Miro might help: 

 

We tried to translate the steps from an offline environment to an online one, 
respecting the working elements as best as possible: 

 

Preparation:

 

-          Inviting participants and preparing them step by step on how to go 
to the ‘venue’ and sit comfortably there, by sending several emails with 
practical information and have a ‘technician’ standing by with a mobile phone 
number

-          We encouraged using two screens for the meeting: one for the talking 
circles and one for the wall 

-          We prepared an online wall with a part for the Agenda, for News, for 
posters with the principles and the Law on a board in Miro; see 
https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPKixqzA=/?share_link_id=132569744312 (I 
translated the headings, the text of agenda topics and reports is in Dutch) 
advantage of Miro: it is an infinite wall where you can frame parts, just as in 
a physical room. Participants do not need an account, they do not have to log 
in, they just need the link (set the sharing settings on ‘anyone with the link 
can VIEW) 

-          As you see on the Miro board, the reports of the groups are made 
using a table format (1 table for every report), where users can type directly 
on the board; because this takes some experience, we had a ‘reporter’ taking 
notes for every break-out room 

-          Preparing the main room and breakout rooms in Zoom (or Webex will 
also work); the titles of the break-out rooms can be added quickly during a 
short break after the agenda setting and then participants can see which topic 
is in which room and also the names of who is where; the main room also stays 
open

Meeting, part 1 (half a day): The example on the Miro board is for an OS of two 
half days; we did 2 rounds on the first day and prioritizing and action 
planning on the second day. Some 60 people showed up. 

-          Start in plenary in Zoom, welcoming, explaining the way of working, 
the principles and law of two feet

-          Explain how agenda setting is done; people raise their digital hand, 
get the microphone, announce their topic and a co-facilitator types the topic 
on a digital sheet, asks where it should go on the Agenda and puts it their 

-          We did agenda setting for two rounds, negotiated 
combining/splitting/moving with the contributor, have as short break and naming 
the break-out room in accordance to the agenda

-          Participants used their ‘two feet’ to go to their preferred place

-          Every group filled in a report directly on the News wall in Miro; 
the reporter can share the typing by sharing screen, or by asking participants 
to look at the board on their own second screen (if they have one).

-          We asked to reserve 5 minutes at the end of each round to select 3 
items they think are most important to follow-up and write them on the three 
post-its that are already provided under every report poster

-          After the two rounds everyone was invited back to the main room; we 
looked back on the meeting by asking participants to write their Tips and Tops 
in the Chat. First ‘My TOP is …..’ and then ‘My TIP is …..’

-          We explained how the we will go further: Next week is the second 
half of the meeting, also half-a-day. The Miro board will stay open, you are 
invited to read the reports. Next week every participant will get 6 votes for 
selecting what you think is most important to work out in action plans

-          Lock all agenda items and reports, so they cannot be replaced 
accidentally 

-          We also sent a pdf with a copy of the agenda and all reports to the 
participants; the pdf can be composed easily by making screenshots of the Miro 
board. 

Meeting, part 2 (half a day)

*       We continued using the same Miro board, set the sharing settings of the 
Miro board on ‘everyone with the link can edit’ 
*       Welcome and looking back on the reports and the post-its with important 
items 
*       Explain the voting procedure (use the voting option in Miro)
*       For the top 8 to 10 items we will do action planning in voluntary small 
groups
*       Agenda setting for the action planning round, 
*       A part of the Miro board was framed for posters with the reports of 
action planning; the posters had some extra lines with ‘who is going to do what 
and when’. 
*       When the agenda was set, we had 8 topics and after a short break 
(labelling the break-out rooms) participants went to their preferred break-out 
room
*       Again, we had a reporter for every break-out room to fill in the 
reports in Miro
*       After 1 hour, the planning round ended and everyone came back to the 
main room; every small group presented their plans in maximum 2 minutes per 
group. We recorded the presentations 
*       Closing circle. Everyone who wants to share something gets the 
microphone (until time is up or no one wants to speak anymore)
*       Ending: please share anything else want to say about this meeting in 
the Chat by finishing the sentence (type in the Chat): I look back on this 
meeting ……
*       We made the proceedings of both sessions and sent a pdf to everyone. 

 

Looking back, we have put great effort in preparing the whole thing and getting 
the co-facilitators acquainted with the techniques and online environment. This 
paid off during the meeting, everything went rather smoothly, also due to the 
technician who provided personal assistance to people with technical issues. 

I have a detailed script in Dutch. If you are interested, I can translate it 
into English. 

 

All my best, 

 

Tonnie

Onderwerp: [OSList] Good Time-Lapse Video of ONLINE (such as in QiqoChat or 
similar tools) OST?

 

Thank you, Rijon, Deborah, Thomas, and Robbie!… 

 

… and, please note that I’m looking for a publicly available 2-3 min.-ish 
time-lapse video of ONLINE Open Space. (These examples, though wonderful - and 
now bookmarked - are all in-person.) Doesn’t have to be in QiqoChat, though 
that’d be fine; any fully or mostly-online space. (April, have you and your 
co-conspirators produced one?) Will you help?

 

Thanks again, and love,

 

Marc

Would this 11 minute video from Thomas Herrmann work?

This isn’t time-lapse either, but… only 6m and very accessible:

Hello, Friends! 

 

In the years since (or before) the start of the pandemic, has anyone produced a 
compelling, publicly available time-lapse of fully-online Open Space, of the 
quality of https://youtu.be/UTEO9CQe7Mw? (Thank you, Jean-Philippe Poupard!) 
I’m looking to share such a video with the sponsor and invitees to a corporate 
Open Space.

 

Thanks, and be well,

 

Marc
