I was at a quarterly meeting recently where I realised that the 40 participants mainly had different views of the reason they were there - Actually a group concerned with SUSTAINABILITY
So I volunteered to be content person guiding their next quarterly meeting My plan - loose as it is - is to try to get them to create the same map on the wall With 4 playing areas Area 1 which is just below the top right corner of the wall is yellow postits- will each person complete a mission in life that they will always be championing around sustainability Area 2 the very top corner is sustainability: I want to leave that area blank unless diverse views of what sustainability's gravity come up in which case they can all be put up there 3 Now as we look at each other's postits in area 1 I want to ask people to discuss which of a list of 15 conflict barriers I have seen repeatedly to most conflicts to do with creating the world we want have a vote as to which conflicts are stopping you from progressing your mission postit (discuss in groups if necessary) 4 Since house rules only give me 2 hours, we now get back to a circle and attend to 4: what worldcongress (eg large open space) would we need to map back, invite network representatives of sustainability to etc if we were to get everyone to see the same number 1 conflict (whichever it is) as the main problem to resolve I wrote this for 2 reasons: -Any suggestions on improving this and is it an Open Space type of game or not?
