Hi Lucas, I think it is helpful to have an attitude of 'we are going to create something amazing and people will take action' within yourself. I cannot imagine this going so well if there is any question within the facilitator that there will be limited outcomes. And so I encourage you to think that there have been many community OST events that have had outstanding actions/follow through....and there have.
I agree with Michael about many community events being geared to conversation which is a great step forward just by itself...a noble reason for OST. I also know that by stating 'givens' if it feels right to you to do so, you could have as given: -time will be given towards the end of the meeting to read reports of the discussion groups -dot voting to discern what the people really have energy for will be done -based on the data we have...the reports and the results of the voting...next steps for action will be invited when a meeting is designed to garner action, there are additional design elements.
