Of course, JLW, one can save oneself and others a lot of aggrevation,
displeasure, white anger, wasted time and energy... by being a stickler
on this. HO translated these five conditions into our "field" of work,
they originally come from natural scientists who were wondering how life
originated... they are also the preconditions for the unfolding of
self-organisation.
1)There is a real business issue, the more real and the more needed, the
better
2)There is a high degree of complexity, the more complex the better not
only because if befuddles everyone but also because it requires the
whole system to get a hold on it
3)There is a lot of diversity in terms of people and points of view (in
the case at hand, neither the victims nor the beneficiaries of those in
the painting are present, yet)... the more diverse, the better
4)Conflicting and passionate people and issues
5)A decision time of yesterday, the more urgency, the better
If any of these conditions are not in place or not fully in place,
things will not unfold to its full extent, selforganisation will not
unfold to its optimum... whenever problems, difficulties etc. turn up in
an os event or in the action planning they have their root in those 5
conditions not being in place sufficiently.
Now, this stuff is on page 16 of the Users Guide, Third Edition.
And I would not hire a facilitator who could not, ripped out of a deep
sleep at 2 am , recite these before drinking a cup of coffee.
Its also good to transpose these conditions into ones own tongue
(mother-tongue) to get the full meaning, here is my attempt in German:
1)Handelt es sich um eine komplexe Fragestellung?
2)Ist die Zusammensetzung der Teilnehmenden mannigfalting?
3)Ist die Fragestellung konfliktträchtig?
4)Ist es dringend?
5)Handelt es sich um eine offene Frage.
This stuff is in "Meine open space Praxis", page 22-23.
Greetings from Berlin just a few days away from the next Stammtisch
where these and other earth-shattering issues such as why the Germans
did not win the European Soccer Championship will be passionately
discussed... if there is none in your neighborhood, convene one or join
us in Berlin... for all Stammtische around the world have a look here
(its part of the OS World Map)

Asunto: Re: [OSList] How the invitation and question should be?
I would ask that powerful sponsor to invite me to a contact meeting with a
small group that would represent the whole system he is inviting (an
actress, a statesman, an artist, a criminal, someone dead for a long time,
someone recently died, a scientist...) to see whether the 5 preconditions
for an open space are in place.
Once that were clear and they still want me as facilitator, I would ask the
sponsor to convene a planning meeting to come to an agreement on such
important matters as the "theme" (I certainly would not propose one as I
never do) and to draft an invitation (which I certainly would not offer to
draft myself as I never do).
About my fee? 0,0001% of the damage or good the participants were
responsible for in their lives.
cheers

And since I have been taking flight with my participation in this
list, let me now invite everyone to participate in the following
playful exercise (which I think could be interesting).
First of all please go to the following page:
http://cliptank.com/ab/PeoplePainting2.htm
(Take note that you can place the cursor on each person for knowing
who is, and that if you want you can make click on it for being
redirected to its biography in Wikipedia).
Imagine now that you are contacted by a magical and powerful sponsor
that can makes all these people to be alive again and that ask it to
you to facilitate an open space with all them.
First, you would accept to do it?
Second, how do you think the invitation and the theme (or question)
for this incredible event should be?
I'm eager to hear your responses.
