Hi all, This week I'm facilitating a small (40 people), 1 ½ day, internal open space for a client. We found a great spot for the opening circle, but for a few reasons we had trouble identifying four to six breakout spaces.
In the spirit of finding one less thing to do, we took the weighted helium balloons we'd purchased to brighten the space and decided the hosts could use them as the space definers. 1) We lined up six different colored balloons next to the agenda wall. 2) I made sticky notes in the same colors to represent the spaces and different times on the agenda wall. Each host selected one of the colored sticky notes for their time slot and placed it on their topic paper. 3) At the breaks between sessions, each new host grabs the colored balloon that matches their session and takes it to wherever they want to hold their discussion. 4) At the end of their session they bring it back. Rinse, repeat. It's working really well. 😁 I love experimenting with one less thing...
