In a two day open space events, are 1.5 hour
time-slots preferable to 1 hour slots?
Let me know the 'right' answer please.... or maybe not!

Ive also seen, on two occasions, a breakout
group of about 100 (in a 5-600 person
event.) These groups seem to get along just
fine even if it was a little hard for the
outliers to hear. They both went for 1.5 hours
and a bit beyond with some, but not a lot, of attrition.
We know that the ideal group discussion is
with 8-12 people (from the small group
evidence). We know, from Wisdom of Crowds
that hundreds or thousands in aggregated
decision making do much better than the one
expert (given the evidence). We really dont
know how many people can be held together in
collective focus consciously or
unconsciously. 100 in a break out? 2000 in a
OS event. A country? ???? Being happy with
not-knowing allows for wonderful surprises.
OSonOSinOZ sounds like it was a great stimulus for thinking!
