Thank you everyone for your feedback! It is much welcomed, and you have provided a lot to chew on. It's such a treat to hear from experienced practitioners.
Some info: - I have one day for the event - There are about 30 participants: assistant managers to the SVP - Objectives are strategic initiatives, and key results are how you measure your success - We need to define both objectives and key results by the end of the day: so, it's a tight time-frame At this moment, I feel that I am too far down the line with the sponsor to switch up the schedule too much. I learned 25/10 Crowdsourcing in my Open Space Genuine Contact training for formulating recommendations and have found it to work well. That said, I am open to learning how to let go of control even more and will explore the many options provided on this thread for future events. I'm definitely open to learning more about how I can work "less hard" per Michael Pannwitz's comment. :) Also, I have incorporated some of your suggestions in my "convergence" design: - After the group generates the top 10 draft objectives from 25/10 Crowdsourcing, I will invite the group to arrange them into 3 themes rather than voting on them. - I will invite self-organization to refine the themes in parallel. The group members will be able to choose which theme(s) they want to refine (or not) in a series of sprints with sprint reviews. The same setup with key results. Learning as I go as we all do. :) Much love, Jake ________________ When the mind is quiet, the sun of your heart will shine once again, and you will be free of problems. - Robert Adams <http://www.robert-adams.info/> On Wed, Feb 5, 2020 at 6:14 PM Thomas Herrmann < [email protected]> wrote: > Dear Jake > > I don’t fully understand, of course, but am wondering what the > purpose/expected outcome is for this development process and also there > must be no more than 3 O’s?
