Co-Facilitation? It has certainly been done before, but my question would be: Why?
Michael Pannwitz and I did a duo with the 2108 German Psychiatrists – and the reason was... I did English, and Michael did German, we each did it our own way, and met each other in the middle (of the circle). I think that made sense, but the more talking heads there are, by definition, the more space is cluttered/shuttered/closed. The point (for me) of opening space is to get folks thinking/being/talking/working together as quickly a possible. Which means that the sooner I, or anybody else, can get out of the way – so much the better. I think.

He is a fine philosopher and a most excellent player of the banjo...(see related video link below....) Pablo was the first in Europe to use before/after Open Space, with experimentation in the middle, using Open Space to frame an enterprise-wide iteration of learning.....BEYOND Agile adoption. He used it to introduce "other" non-Agile cultural change in an iterative (www.OpenSpaceAgility.com) way ..... His work doing that, led to this: www.Prime-OS.com A man of action is he. Now he is planning, with colleague ALEXIS MONVILLE, to facilitating Open Space at this public Agile-conference event: ....wait, whoops... is co-facilitation a form of OST blasphemy? http://ale2015.alenetwork.eu/ I wonder if you find the planned experiments with OST (listed below) interesting.... .....is this blasphemy...or bold innovation? Check the "White Hair" experiment ..... Regards, Daniel Related video link (Pablo-plays-banjo), 2 mins.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apAzGSLi2UY ================ ALE15 - Open Space Facilitation Pablo Pernot Alexis Monville ================ Why adding experiments to the classic open space ? We need fresh adventures in the land of open space. We tasted the enterprise open space and we value what it brings. We would like to try some experiments to benefit from that experience and try something a bit different. We feel that it is important and possible especially here because of the willingness to learn and to share of our community. ======================= ALE 2015 Open Space Experiments ======================= \ ================== Speed learning open space ================== Opener and energizer 5mn: ●we form a large cycle standing up (no chairs in the room) ●2mn ask every people that already know open space to raise their hand. ask people that doesn’t know openspace to pick someone with a raised hand ●the person who knows has 2 mn to explain open space to his partner (posters on the walls will display the way it works as a reminder) ●1mn : we go back to the large circle ●2mn : another 2mn of Q&A but you need to pick someone different. ============== Babel tower ============== Every topic proposed for the market place has to be made: 1.with our mothertongue 2. and in english ps: for people with english as mother tongue they can, or not, repeat or rephrase, or use their mother tongue accent / pronunciation at first why: to hear all the diversity and richness of ALE people. to liberate the non-verbal communication, to allow a different attitude (discover people when they are at ease to speak, not when they are struggling to find their words). ============== Topic/Theme ============== Adding a topic or a theme : every session should be related to this theme. The idea is to gather the outcome and consolidate a booklet that will help ale community to learn and share their learnings. We propose the theme to be : "What are the key changes in our culture and business?" We should give people the theme one week at least before the event, so they can think about it. Or be aware during the sessions. Why: a part of the power of open space, when we use it in enterprises, is coming from the common purpose of the people involved ==================================== Global restitution (report out) at the end of every session ==================================== Every session is one hour : split in two parts : 40mn brainstorming, 20mn global restitution : every group has 1mn to restitute their conversation. ================================== “key change pitch” Quick normalization of the outcome of every session ================================== Each group will use one flipboard paper sheet to present their topic. The guidelines proposed for the global restitution and for the booklet are: ●140 characters to pitch of the “key change” (one line) why/how this “key change” happened // what’s the value of the “key change” This could/would/should of course evolve. ============================ PDF/Blog consolidation ============================ Every outcome (“key change pitch”) is consolidated in a booklet and/or a blog every day and is public (is it possible to use ale15 blog and to have some support to do that?) =================== Visualisation =================== As usual, visual helpers are provided, especially one explaining these experiments. ============ Message ============ These experiments could evolve during the 3 days. ============ White hair ============ only white hair people can facilitate the open space - twitter account ? blog ale2015 ? hashtag ? <https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ale15> #ale15 ? <https://twitter.com/search?q=%23alenetwork> #alenetwork ? -- Daniel Mezick, President New Technology Solutions Inc.
