Chris; What a fantastic story (and a great storyteller!!). Thanks. Regarding reports: I have not come to grips with a way to capture the richness of the discussions short of video or audiotaping, which adds a great deal of complexity and may be a barrier to process (one less thing being the mantra I have been hearing). A person recently told me of her frustration at having to spend time entering data in the computer when she wanted to get to other sessions (our discussion actually ended up being more revealing about her own patterns of behaviour creating the frustration that made her go...hmmmm, maybe this is not an open space problem but her problem - deep learning). This was a time when there was a short time between the end of the sessions and closing. However, the consistent feedback that I get is that people appreciate having the summary of discussions that they can't get too. Whenever someone is recording for a group, the information is filtered by the perceptions and ability (and sometimes for me retention of data...gee, I am starting to wonder about my mental capacity here!!).
I guess the question is, what is the purpose of the reports. I think it is to highlight the key points of the discussion. The people who participated will have had the experience of the energy. The names of the "leader" and participants are listed so that the curious can find out more details. I have had people who participated read the news wall and suggest a few other ideas. I encourage them to add to the report so that it is captured in the proceedings. Michelle Michelle Cooper RN, MScN The Cooper Group Consultants 200 Crestview Avenue Ancaster, ON Canada L9G 1E2 Tel.
