It’s a fair assumption I think. In my experience many online meetups
of the last year—including online Open Spaces—have been just kinda
m’eh. They’ve definitely lacked the impact I wanted.
But not all of them had reduced impact. Some online meetups and open
spaces had increased impact, and even where impact was lacking we’ve
been learning how to create or hold space for more impact next time.
I don’t think that holding Open Space online is what creates reduced
impact.
I believe, it’s the way we think about online meetups (including Open
Space) that’s limiting.
I still believe we’ve only scratched the surface of what is possible
with online Open Space.
I’m also more and more convinced that what we are learning about
holding space for Open Space online is one key to creating more impact
for many different events online—especially when the "meeting" itself
is not "open space".
I keep finding that the principles of open space are teaching me a lot
about facilitating other events online—even when those events are not
using OST to engage the outcomes.
One thing about online Open Space that’s significantly different to me
is that I’m not only "holding space", I’m also "building" space.
In the physical open space someone has already built the physical space
(and manufactured chairs, and painted the walls etc). As a facilitator
I work with the sponsor to find a physical space (where possible)
that’s open and inviting and "fits" the invitation they’re making to
the open space. But how lucky we were to walk into a space that was
already built. We "just" had to put the chairs in a circle. (Note: I’m
smiling when I say "just".)
I believe online the OS facilitator is part of building the "space" that
people will enter virtually before you hold it for them. Key to building
online space for impact simplicity, invitation and welcoming emergence
are keys building space for impact (like with the facilitator’s script
for "opening" the circle).
(This is also topical for me. By complete coincidence, I’m hosting a
couple of free meetups on this in the next few days — 6PM for folks in
Berlin/Zurich and Noon for folks in NYC. If there’s interest here I
can post the links. Can also potentially add a meetup that’s more
comfortable for people in timezones to the East of me—where it’s
later.)

Re: virtual open space facilitator
Following the earlier request, i have forwarded a choice of
faciltators to the sponsor of the event.
It is an awakening for me to realize the impact covid had on group
events and it's future. Sponsors seem to accept the reduced impact as
it also reduces the (travelling) cost significantly.

Dear All, A good friend is possibly looking to host a virtual open
space and has asked me if I would/could facilitate. As this is not my
strength and I would be very happy to pass it on to someone who has
virtual experience and is preferably in the UK (maybe Phelim as we
were
both in Gail's Taipeh OST intro training in 2008?). Please private
email
me if you are interested. I will be more than happy to return the
introduction favour to the community, although I do not know any
details. gijsvanwe...@gmail.com
