Hey Michael,
Not sure about the bit where you have to sleep with the sponsor twice before a
decision is made!!
;)

Dear Eleder,
great you asked, I did not report on my procedere clear enough.
Here it goes:
For the contact meeting where you assist the sponsor in finding out whether
prerequisites for Open Space are met it is important to have the sponsor(s)
(decider(s)) present (all the people that have a say in whether this approach
should be followed)...
When it is clear that OST is the way to go the sponsor installs a Planning
Group which decides on Theme, Invitation etc. and it should be composed of
people that the sponsor is interested in having at the event (this in a way
will represent the system but only at that point in time, the Planning Group
will come up with a more complete picture of the whole system which is
important for the invitation). For healthcare you might try to have people from
hospitals, the insurance business, patients, doctors, nurses, midwives,
outreach people, people from local government, scientists, pharmacies,... the
list can become very long...in my experience there have been Planning Groups of
6 all the way up to 35.
At the contact meeting there might be 3 to 8 people, usually around 5... this
is not a contract meeting just a service for the sponsor to find out (and for
me as facilitator also to find out) whether he wants to go with ost. Even if I
am approached by a sponsor with the clear message that he wants OST, I
suggest/insists on a contact meeting (usually 1,5 hours) to get the
prerequisites discussion (in a way the sponsor has to convince me that the
prerequisites are in place or how they can be met).
I charge no fee for the contact meeting (just reimbursment for travel etc.) and
suggest that no decision is taken at the meeting itself but that both sponsor
and I sleep twice and then have the next contact...
Good luck with the healthcare project!
Cheers

Hi, I´m liking to follow this conversation. Thanks all!
I share Robyn´s concern with /Under-representation of women/ (and
probably other collectives if we refine our observation)...
Another issue: I just received an invitation to facilitate an Open Space
on healthcare and this conversation makes me doubt..
...do we really need to meet a "small group that would represent the
whole system" for the first meeting or
...would the meeting with the sponsor(s)/the one(s) who cares be enough
to decide if Open Space suits, fix the theme and draft the invitation
(and sure, then try through the invitation process to attract the
participation of the whole system)?

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
<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.
