Hi Chris What I was thinking about more particularily was: 1. Maybe include another session in the morning day 2. I´ve planned to start at 8.00. That would mean lunch at 12 or 12.30 and less time in the afternoon for activities such as actionplanning. 2. Spending less time working on actionplans, instead give time to let people give each other feedback to bring to the action planning sessions coming monday.
Regarding the voting and grouping of topics I still often do that. My experience is that sponsors in organizations like to have this information and it gives a good structure, common picture to the participants. I AM VERY CLEAR that this is not a process to exclude any topics, that´s why I also use re-opening (guess it is what you call non-convergence) to identify topics for action planning. The voting/grouping does take some time and I agree a "clean" re-opening is nice too...

I would opt for "non-convergence" on day two, or more precisely "non-prioritization" by simply re-opening the space for those that are willing to take responsibility for convening the action teams they want to see happen. Other than that, it looks perfectly workable to me...or am I missing something in your question? Cheers, Chris (Frolunda Fan in passing!)

My sponsor is a headmaster. Two schools are being merged into one unit and the start will be a 2-day OS-meeting in August. About 100 participants both teachers and other employees. The OS-meeting is Thursday-friday and on Monday there will be time for action teams to meet to work more on the action plans. So my question is around how to get the most out of the afternoon day 2, having in mind there will be a few hours to work further on Monday. We have to be finished by 15.30. Any sharing of experiences, suggestions and ideas welcome! Yesterday we had our pre-meeting and the design we discussed goes like this: ---DAY 1--- Storytelling in the morning LUNCH Opening 2 sessions (1,5 hours) Evening news Dinner ---DAY 2--- Morning news 2 sessions (1,5 hours) LUNCH (printing reports) Reading all the reports Prioritization/grouping of topics (to get a structure of the material and info about where the energy is in the groups as a whole) Re-opening Next step action meeting Closing --- Hugs Thomas Herrmann Phone +46 (0)709-98 97 81 Open Space Consulting Fax +46 (0)300-713 89 Pensévägen 4 434 46 Kungsbacka, Sweden Email: tho...@openspaceconsulting.com www.openspaceconsulting.com * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist -- CHRIS CORRIGAN Consultation - Facilitation Open Space Technology Weblog: http://www.chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot Site: http://www.chriscorrigan.com Open Space Resources: http://tinyurl.com/r94tj * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
