Thanks g-d, there are slow elevators in large buildings.

Dear Liz,
this advertising-announcement below serves beautiful as an elevator-
speech,
which we had gathered in the oslist some years ago.

Hi OSlisters All
Prompted by Liz's post, reminded by Florian about elevator-speeches
and inspired by an earlier contribution of Suzanne Daigle (Aug 7,
2011) I composed this:
Open Space Technology (OST)
What is OST?
It is a highly effective, participant-led process that has been
described as the most powerful leadership and meeting approach for
the 21stcentury.
For it is a way to rapidly increase participation, equality,
engagement, inclusion, ownership, and energy for change within your
organisation, community or project.
These happen as it enables groups to identify critical issues, voice
their passions and concerns, learn from each other, and take
collective responsibility for finding solutions.
While being a process, practice and philosophy that is flexible and
strong enough to work with a few people or with thousands, for a few
hours or over several days or more.
In what contexts is OST of particular value?
a real issue of concern, a lot of caring about the issue and a lot
at stake (personally or collectively; a reason for meeting that
resonates embodied by a theme)
a high level of complexity (an issue to tackle that is bigger than
any single individual or small group)
a real passion, caring a lot about the situation or issue
diversity (diversity in thinking, diversity in being open or in
other words not rehashing the same stuff with the same people; a
true interest in fully engaging, listening and speaking)
a spirit of invitation (you don't have to come but we'd love you to
come and we'd want you there because you have a lot to contribute);
and if you do decide to come, it's because you have passion and care
enough to take responsibility and are making the commitment to be
there the whole time
an open dialogue with the sponsor and host team in the pre-work
about self-organization, how Open Space is not your typical predict-
control model geared to a defined outcome, not your traditional
facilitation, and not the oft way of leading when someone is
expected to inspire, have all the answers or make the final decisions.
With acknowledgments to Liz Martins and Suzanne Daigle.
And with the thought that you may also find this useful for your
purposes.
Go well
Alan

Dear OSlisters in the UK
I'd be grateful if you would pass on to anyone you think may be
interested the information below about an OS workshop on Friday 4th
and Saturday 5th November, in Bristol
It's primarily aimed at people who are new to OS or have limited
experience and want to learn more.
This has emerged from a growing community of OS practitioners in
the SW of England, who hold an intention of developing mutual
support, joint projects and greater awareness of OS as a practice,
process and philosophy.
Many thanks
Liz
