Funny Open Space. Sounds more like Gaul -- divided into 4 parts. Or was that three parts. Why not just do Open Space, pure and simple. Plenty of room for all sorts of diverse opinions, to say nothing of diverse reasons for being there. And it is a lot less complicated. Read, "Less work." May be a great game, however :-)

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?
