Congrats Meg! All three of your intuitions are right on as far as I'm concerned. Doing the reporting on the Net (Intra or Inter) is agreat way to keep track of the initiatives that have emerged. I've had folks who asked for monthly updates on initiatives by e-mail and then let everybody know. Meeting on strategic intent with the sponsors after they see what has emerged makes it possible to clarify directions and when to Open the Space again.
A current client has used Open Space a number of times since the first success. One event did not produce the energy and momentum expected, but the dead moose appeared. That became a real opportunity to refocus and clarify strategic intent. Since then the senior team has been much more effective. This may be a real challenge to their management paradigms, so helping them translate the experience at appropriate points can be useful as well. Larry
