Dear Hege, if you gather a group interested in stuff to do before and
after an os-event in Norway, I and I imagine even others would love to
come to Norway and facilitate such an event.
Greetings from Berlin just waking up after a long and fun-intensive
Stammtisch with a dozen os-agitated people in Berlin...

Dear Lisa:
This sounds so important and interesting. I really need and want to
learn more about pre - work.
The distance from Norway to Calefornia is a challenge for me to take the
opportunity you offer.
If you ca recommend any substitute, video, podcast or something like
that, it would be great!
Anyway, good luck, and enjoy all of you that are able to gather on this
occasion :-)
All the best from Norway
Hege

Hello, dear colleagues -
This is a message about an upcoming workshop for those of you in or
around or visiting California next month: The Power of Pre-Work -
August 8-10 in San Francisco.
I invite you to join me for this learning experience - which is not
particular to Open Space but for any face-to-face dialogue approach we
may use: Lessons learned and shared about pre-work.
Thanks in advance for sharing the word - through email, tweets, other
social networks, or face-to-face over a good beverage with your
friends, clients and colleagues.
I look forward to learning with and from you there - Lisa

/(I reflect upon some of the diverse dialogue events I have
facilitated and the elements of pre-work that led to their success -
including a multi-language, multi-culture national immigrant and
refugee farmer conference, a series of 2000+ participant youth
ministry conferences, a national conference which introduced dialogue
to help participants name diverse and conflicting points of view in
their field, a meeting of international health workers sharing best
practices across country and culture, a retreat for a global
information technology department generating ideas for their corporate
strategic plan, environmental advocates birthing a new global
organization, HIV/AIDS educators developing mission, vision and a
shared values statement for their non-profit organization, six
international agencies collaborating on how to spend a billion dollar
budget - and other examples of high productivity, creativity and
partnership and meaningful outcomes in meetings based on dialogue
methods and processes. What supported the success of these events?
Not my magic jewel-like words and insights - instead, a thorough
analysis to select the appropriate tool, plus ongoing conversations
with the client teams about everything from issues and objectives to
site, food, documentation, invitation and outreach, follow-up and more
- with every one of these elements affecting or supporting dialogue.
To me, the pre-work is essential - and yet, everyone tells me they do
not get this sort of training in their academic programs or other
facilitation training. So I decided to host a workshop to share best
practices and lessons learned about the pre-work.)/

dialogue event.
For people of all levels of experience - although you will be able to
retain more of your learning about pre-work if you already do some
facilitation work

impacts everything else. Share what you have learned and learn more

interrelated elements.
