The process was the same as always. . . sit in circle, create bulletin board, etc. As for proceedings, none were done, but then none were needed. The group went from Open Space to real open space to do the work required.

Perhaps Open Space does already have its emergency café in which case I would love it to be the benchmark all cafes were compared with in terms of why did someone add in this extra facilitation here that there etc chris macrae -----Original Message----- From: OSLIST [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Harrison Owen Sent: 04 May 2005 14:25 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: The World Cafe Chris -- It is probably important to point out that the difference between World Café and Open Space has nothing to do with time. It is all about control and pre-existing structure. I have been part of Open Spaces that were organized in the moment and lasted for less than an hour. Given the situation, it was the only thing that could be done, and the level, intensity, and productivity of the conversation was outstanding. And, for whatever it is worth, none of the participants had ever been in an Open Space previously. Of course, we did not reach the depth that is possible in a multi-day Open Space -- but there was zero question about the capacity of the people involved to thrive in the space/time available. * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
