Go for it Koos! For myself, I am out of the game. When Wikipedia first happened 
I was invited to do something on OST. Which I did. From then on we/I got well 
intentioned notes to “use impartial 3rd party sources. Two problems: The only 
source I had is me (hardly impartial) AND nobody in the Academic community has 
seen fit to write a serious peer reviewed article about OST. Weird, but 
understandable – a whole mess of tenured positions could be at stake! Just 
imagine what would happen to the Organization Design Depts. If Open Space 
actually worked, and worse yet… was actually chronicled and certified as 
“working” – whatever that might mean. Academic heads would definitely roll! And 
with good reason. One of the last times I worked with a large (American) 
corporation on a “sticky issue” the assembled group did in two days what they 
had previously failed to do in two years. The chief of that operation called me 
on the Monday to tell me that “He hated me.” He had two reasons: 1) He now had 
to return to all the boring corporate meetings – knowing full well that an 
alternative does exist. 2) He also had to admit that two years of intense 
(expensive) effort had produced failure – which had been rectified in two days 
– with virtually no effort on his part. Great addition to the CV! And I’m 
supposed to write-up this kind of stuff? Crazy I am … but masochistic NO-Way. 
Good luck. And no this was not AT Bigger and richer!

Dear friends,

Why wait until WOSonOS? Editing Wikipedia pages is not difficult. I am a 
Wikipedia editor myself, it is not hard to learn.  Wikipedia is like Open 
Space. Anyone with a good mind and a good heart can do it.

I am willing to have a go at correcting the mistakes. Anyone of you who will be 
reading my improvements and who wants to suggest further edits, is welcome to 
email me and I will process it as soon as I have time.

This week is quite busy for me already, it may have to wait until the weekend 
before I get around to making the first edits. If you are OK with this plan, I 
will do it within a week and I will let you know when I have worked on it.

Wishing you all a great day

Koos de Heer

Many questions these days. Thank you for entertaining them. :)

This past week, I facilitated an eight-hour Open Space split across two 
half-days. The attendees were an Organizational Development team, of which I am 
a member. My AVP sponsored the event, because we had recently merged with 
another group, and there was lack of clarity. So, our theme was: "Who are we, 
and how do we collaborate to drive success?" Also, my AVP--who is a leader in 
Learning & Development--wanted to experience Open Space in order to understand 
it better as it is new to my firm.

Since I am a fledgling facilitator, I chose not to participate in the breakout 
sessions, even though I am part of the group. I wanted to make sure that I 
provided the best experience for everyone, and participating would have 
dampened my focus. I shared this with my manager, after she inquired after the 
first day why I had not participated.

Long story short, after the event, my manager had major concerns how I 
facilitated the event. I had gone for long walks while the group was working, 
and she felt that was very risky. I told her that the facilitator's

When I first met the (fledgling, at that time) Agile community, Thomas, it was 
because they'd asked me to introduce OS as a track in their first annual 
conference (2002).  When I showed up, they explained to me what Agile was.  I 
just started laughing. "Guys," I said, "You do realize that you're making 
software in Open Space!"  My short explanation of that characterization is that 
in both Agile and OS, "We put all the most important stuff on the wall.  And 
then we get it done."

Fast forward to 2017, Mike Beedle, one of the original co-authors of the Agile 
Manifesto 
(agilemanifesto.org),
 launched a framework for (whole) Business or Enterprise Agility.  The 
foundation of that is an adapted "Business Model Canvas."  Mike and I used to 
muse about whether the 9-15 boxes on those canvases were so many small open 
spaces (on important dimensions of the work, or if it was really one big open 
space with a finite number of predictable tracks of work (e.g. purpose, 
customer, metrics, team practices, resources, governance, value delivery, and 
so on).  Either way, we always agreed that Mike's Enterprise Scrum canvas-based 
framework was surely a form of Ongoing Open Space.

Since then, in practice, I've found that following an OS meeting with work in 
an Enterprise Scrum canvas, the canvas being a way to keep the marketplace open 
and loosely organized going forward, is a somewhat more rigorous but also 
natural enough way to support "keeping the work going" after the OS.

Overall, what I like about the pairing of OS and Agile approaches is this:  The 
strong invitation, engagement, alignment that arises so quickly and easily in 
OS doesn't automatically lead into rigorous action, if the organization doesn't 
already have that rigor active in itself.  At the same time, Agile approaches 
bring an easy, natural rigor to work, but don't necessarily invite, engage and 
align.  Imposed, and Too Narrow (closed), understanding of Agile, Value and 
Transformation too often have Agile teams working very rigorously but not as 
smart and aligned as they really want/need to be.

Some combination of open (space) invitation and operational (agile) rigor, 
however, in the same/shared spirit of self-organization, is my favorite way to 
play these days.

   This formulation from Harrison is powerful two reasons: 1. It is to the 
point and captures very simply the purpose of the gathering and 2. It is an 
entirely practical question. I love beautifully worded questions like Mary 
Oliver’s classic “What will do with your one wild and precious life?” but when 
we are doing strategic work it is critical that the question be simple so that 
the participants can bring the depth to it. My experience has been that any 
time I have sought to craft a beautiful question, me and the team would fall in 
love with it and that is entirely the wrong wy to approach an Open Space.  The 
purpose of the invitation is to get people into the room so they can fall in 
love with each other and the work they need to do. And so I love the "issues 
and opportunities” framing that Harrison has offered us from the beginning.  I 
find myself coming back to that framing more and more. If you can improve on 
the simplicity of “issues and opportunities” use that one and go!

   Having said that, almost more important than the wording of the invitation 
is the process of inviting. The more personal you can make it, and the more one 
on one conversations you can have with people that need to be there, the more 
ready they will be for the gathering.  As a friend once said “The conversation 
begins long before the meeting starts and ends long after the meeting is over.”

Hi

I have managed to persuade our rather large University faculty to have a 
learning conversation using OS. This will replace a peer review exercise. So 
OST will be the first stage in setting an agenda for teams to identify and work 
on issues in teaching and learning that they think are of consequence  or need 
for change.

One issue for example might be the difference in achievement rates of BAME 
students as opposed to the rates in the student population as a whole.

I wondered if colleagues might have done something similar or if you have any 
examples of invitations. I realise there might be threads on this topic so 
apologise in advance for not finding them/saving them.

opportunities for enabling and catalyzing strategic innovation, community 
delight and operational excellence?

Hi

I have managed to persuade our rather large University faculty to have a 
learning conversation using OS. This will replace a peer review exercise. So 
OST will be the first stage in setting an agenda for teams to identify and work 
on issues in teaching and learning that they think are of consequence  or need 
for change.

One issue for example might be the difference in achievement rates of BAME 
students as opposed to the rates in the student population as a whole.

I wondered if colleagues might have done something similar or if you have any 
examples of invitations. I realise there might be threads on this topic so 
apologise in advance for not finding them/saving them.

Best wishes

Karl

Re: [OSList] Invitation formulation

[Royle, Karl via OSList]

Thank you Chris

That is very thought provoking and practical all rolled up into one. (

On 17/10/2019, 16:51, "OSList on behalf of Chris Corrigan via OSList" 
 wrote:

This formulation from Harrison is powerful two reasons: 1. It is to the 
point and captures very simply the purpose of the gathering and 2. It is an 
entirely practical question. I love beautifully worded questions like Mary 
Oliver’s classic “What will do with your one wild and precious life?” but when 
we are doing strategic work it is critical that the question be simple so that 
the participants can bring the depth to it. My experience has been that any 
time I have sought to craft a beautiful question, me and the team would fall in 
love with it and that is entirely the wrong wy to approach an Open Space.  The 
purpose of the invitation is to get people into the room so they can fall in 
love with each other and the work they need to do. And so I love the "issues 
and opportunities” framing that Harrison has offered us from the beginning.  I 
find myself coming back to that framing more and more. If you can improve on 
the simplicity of “issues and opportunities” use that one and go!

Having said that, almost more important than the wording of the invitation 
is the process of inviting. The more personal you can make it, and the more one 
on one conversations you can have with people that need to be there, the more 
ready they will be for the gathering.  As a friend once said “The conversation 
begins long before the meeting starts and ends long after the meeting is over.”

whichever platform – before, during, and after. It would be really fun is all 
the good folks offering to open some space could connect with that marvelous 
young lady from Sweden and the people who have responded to her call 
(provocation?). The energy and passions would match and complement – and their 
skills with the social media could take all this globally virtually 
instantaneously.

Just an old man thinking…

Thank you, Tricia.

Do you think that we could have one point of one of your calls this week or the 
next one (which I would prefer) dedicated to this topic?

After being a long period without those calls, I am affraid that I will need 
some offline help before. Would you be so kind to help me before that?

Best regards

Artur

Dear friends,

I reckon many remember that Harrison and many friends have been doing for years 
a set of OST events under the theme "Open Space for Peace and High Performance".

You also know that the current UN Secretary-General, the Portuguese António 
Guterres (who happens to have been my companion in high school and at the 
University), recently convened a UN climate summit.

You, my friends, do not ignore too the dramatic situation of the climate and 
the Earth, nor that our children and grand children may not have a planet to 
live in, as, at least for the moment, there is no other planet with the 
necessary conditions for life...

Today, in a private mail exchange, it occurred to me to challenge you, based on 
what HO once did: to do, all over the world where there are facilitators, 
public OST sessions on climate change and what needs to be done to alleviate 
the problems.

Each of us will know better, in every concrete situation, who to invite and 
what concrete goals to make explicit (or not).

What do you think of my suggestion?

Stay safe

Artur

Hi all,

I have been studying this 
article
 by Meg Wheatley. The article discusses humans' need to create their own 
future, and, from there, it provides principles for effective organizational 
change. However, I found her phrasing of the principles confusing. It's taken 
awhile, but I think I've rephrased them to be more comprehensible and 
memorable--at least for me. Also, they now seem to be more like "conditions" 
than principles. In case you find them useful, they are:

  1.  Everyone from the system is invited
  2.  Everyone dialogues and connects with many others in the system
  3.  Everyone co-creates the system's future
Kinda sounds like Open Space...

Thanks!

All the best,
Jake

Hi

I was wondering and also seeking your advice..

Do you think we might co-ordinate around a date and maybe an invitation? Just 
think it might be cool then to look at things that happened in the space…and 
maybe cross refer and look for themes?

Thoughts?

1st of all thank you for everyone who gave me feedback on my big idea for 
certification. It was sincerely appreciated. However I can see it was something 
that did not  Resonate well.

Open space technology has clearly set the standard for the facilitation of 
peace and human understanding. It is such a powerful and simple tool but highly 
complex. As Harrison says..  chaos plows the fields of the mind so that new 
ideas can grow... I think there is ample chaos for us to tackle right now.

I think it is highly important for the leadership of our open space world to 
make a decision now while we still have Harrison among us as a living spirit. 
Because we have already set the standards why not cement the standards and turn 
it into an everlasting association that could be organized to deliver training, 
etc. To advance the mission of human peace and understanding in a more 
organized way?

If you want to be a beautician or a mechanic or a rocket scientist or a city 
manager there are associations for that .

Why not an association for open space technology practitioners to define the 
standards, the ethics, code of conduct, the way that Harrison has already 
articulated them, but to formalize them and help us get organized and stay 
organized until we get the job done?

Respectfully submitted,
Mark Carmel

I'm glad you find it useful, interesting etc.

Every day worldwide, "Agile" is forced. All in the name of self-management and 
so on. You can imagine the results, and the harm to people. Here is one of the 
stories:


https://web.archive.org/web/20190313181520/https://thetech.com/2016/02/11/istfeature-v136-n3<https://url6.mailanyone.net/v1/?m=1heGwm-000BU8-6K=57e1b682=4793mN6cDHGOThgJW-o2AKAhb7Wrj0oYHqlDs0ENKbm7-Vg7Ph2DWDiCv43kIfumS4OPpAoQ5wdrhH5fgSPf8rIpDl598jgcvwXEH_I37uDXbYXRyJKYQ8EXyAjEjIUj8dQv38ygjrWf-UYJz86toRKwK77Q5TfVkkzM4klC87bUtzYyDQTCAq8l5CFGIhISTKSml7BvPXm5xvH3PUXRELaJ_q91829TcIfI3xj21iFCdDIKknfQrqQNiSKhZEE4eyGeISCrny1KVcQbjOxQMwlDHQ-16PsZNjPJIpsLoUmT-D4eyE2wrFuM787Kv5PE>

IS is attempting to apply the agile approach to the entire organization. 
“Agile organizations,” Charles wrote in a February email, “need empowered 
leadership at the individual and team levels — that means less management and 
more fluidity.”

The sweeping transformation that is currently underway at MIT’s Information 
Systems and Technology office is one that is unprecedented in its scope and 
backlash from employees.
This has resulted in roughly 20 percent of nearly 300 staff members leaving 
since February, instead of the average 8 or 9 percent annual turnover. The 
reorganization stands out in several ways. Many longtime employees have 
resigned — by the estimate of a former employee, Laura Baldwin ’89, more than 
700 years of experience have been lost from people parting ways. A number of 
those employees have been MIT alumni.

Just thinking…in decades… I was talking to some colleagues from University of 
Girona who have undertaken a change project around teaching and learning.

We were on another project which was a three year duration. They said one thing 
that they have learned is that you need 10 years to implement a company wide

Hi Jake
Thanks for posing the question.
To me self organisation, just as others wrote, is just there. By building 
capacity to work in life nurturing ways and for a common purpose the power of 
self organisation can be made more ‘useful’.
I believe and have experienced since many years, that good things happen when 
people come together in circle around a common purpose, facilitated skilfully 
end lovingly.
Being conscious about the opportunities in self organisation and and working 
with it makes the difference. Most organisations don’t. So there are many 
examples of failures in regard to reaching sustainable and productive outcome.

I think I previously shared a link to an example in an municipality where I 
have been working for more than a decade teaching how to use open space and 
whole person process facilitation to create sustainable results. Even if that 
does not answer your question I share it again, as an example where it works.

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know of organizations that attempted to implement self-organization

I'm glad you find it useful, interesting etc.

Every day worldwide, "Agile" is forced. All in the name of self-management and 
so on. You can imagine the results, and the harm to people. Here is one of the 
stories:


https://web.archive.org/web/20190313181520/https://thetech.com/2016/02/11/istfeature-v136-n3<https://url6.mailanyone.net/v1/?m=1heGwm-000BU8-6K=57e1b682=4793mN6cDHGOThgJW-o2AKAhb7Wrj0oYHqlDs0ENKbm7-Vg7Ph2DWDiCv43kIfumS4OPpAoQ5wdrhH5fgSPf8rIpDl598jgcvwXEH_I37uDXbYXRyJKYQ8EXyAjEjIUj8dQv38ygjrWf-UYJz86toRKwK77Q5TfVkkzM4klC87bUtzYyDQTCAq8l5CFGIhISTKSml7BvPXm5xvH3PUXRELaJ_q91829TcIfI3xj21iFCdDIKknfQrqQNiSKhZEE4eyGeISCrny1KVcQbjOxQMwlDHQ-16PsZNjPJIpsLoUmT-D4eyE2wrFuM787Kv5PE>

IS is attempting to apply the agile approach to the entire organization. 
“Agile organizations,” Charles wrote in a February email, “need empowered 
leadership at the individual and team levels — that means less management and 
more fluidity.”

The sweeping transformation that is currently underway at MIT’s Information 
Systems and Technology office is one that is unprecedented in its scope and 
backlash from employees.
This has resulted in roughly 20 percent of nearly 300 staff members leaving 
since February, instead of the average 8 or 9 percent annual turnover. The 
reorganization stands out in several ways. Many longtime employees have 
resigned — by the estimate of a former employee, Laura Baldwin ’89, more than 
700 years of experience have been lost from people parting ways. A number of 
those employees have been MIT alumni.

Hi Jake,

There are many failed examples of "mandated self organization." You can imagine 
the success rate of such an approach.

Now, the Agile industry is pretty good at selling this "mandated self 
organization" stuff. But I'm getting ahead of the story...

Most of the failure stories do not make it out into the wild. But the insiders 
do whisper about them. To friends and colleagues. In dinner discussions at 
conferences. And so on...



The Mandate of Holacracy at Zappos


In 2013-14, Zappos mandated a way of working called 'holacracy.' The idea was, 
I think, to encourage more self-organization. More good outcomes. I'm sure the 
intentions were good at the time...

But there were big problems by late 2013.

By 2014, the "mandate of holacracy for self-organization at Zappos" was in big 
trouble, even as the press was celebrating 'holacracy' at Zappos as the future 
of work, the shining example, the path forward in the new world of work.

But there were big problems. Lots of resistance. I heard the whispers through a 
friend on the inside, a person with access to the CEO.

Through that

Hello all

A number of years ago I seem to remember a resource shared on this list that 
calculated an average number of breakout groups that tended to show up 
according to the total number of participants based on the cumulated experience 
of this community. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I think it was an excel

anything.

Here's hoping!

Re: [OSList] Who Opens the Space?

[Royle, Karl via OSList]

I know I might have mentioned this before... but...

Deleuze and Guttari’s (1987) notion of smooth (nomad) and striated (state) 
spaces is useful for thinking about the effect of pedagogies such as PBL on an 
institution’s instructional norms. Bayne (2004) puts it most succinctly: 
“Smooth space is informal and amorphous, striated space is formal and 
structured. Striated space is associated with arboreal, hierarchical thought, … 
opposed to rhizomatic thought – non-hierarchical, underground, 
multiply-connected. “(Bayne 2004, p. 303)

Dear friends and colleagues,
 "Who Opens the Space"

I believe that I open the space for myself. I show up. I make a conscious 
choice about how much space I choose to open for myself, for myself as a whole 
person to participate. Sometimes the space feels safer to me than other times. 
Regardless, it is my choice for me of how much space I open for myself in every 
situation, how much I choose to participate within that self created open 
space, and for how long I choose to keep the space for myself open.

I appreciate the effort and love of the facilitator of the Open Space 
Technology meeting. The role is important, assuming it is carried out with care 
and love and clarity, to make visible that a bigger space is open and ready for 
participation. This is a valuable role. Yet, it is still me, that opens the 
space for myself...no one can do this for me.

I appreciate the role of the sponsor is opening the space within the 
organization for a conscious opening of space for a particular theme to be 
explored. Sometimes the sponsor chooses to open a big space, sometimes it is a 
smaller space...Both are fine so long as there is honesty about the amount of 
space being opened. Yet, it is still me that opens the space for myself to 
consciously choose my participation.

Now, I am wondering about the importance of providing the people who attend 
the OST meeting with the concept that the amount of space that they are opening 
for themselves is their responsibility. Your thoughts?

in genuine contact,
Birgitt

Re: [OSList] Ten Weeks in Open Space

[Royle, Karl via OSList]

Dear Harrison

Sounds great. We have used open space at our university and I use it on my 
module but have never used it for a sequence of sessions. I think perhaps it 
may work better in this format for adult education although I could see it 
working for all sorts of other topics now I thing about it. I was recently 
reading a book by Valoufakis the Greek ex minister and economist. He 
distinguishes between goods and commodities. As most universities are busy 
commodifying education when they are met with a ‘good’ such as OST it is hard 
for them to measure, quantify and grasp its significance. They might see it as 
some sort of subversion… which is all good.

Subject: [OSList] Ten Weeks in Open Space

   For some odd reasons, I  committed to “teaching” a course which 
met once a week for 10 weeks. I think my hosts assumed I would do the standard 
“Lecture/Discussion,”  but I had a different plan. Do it all in Open Space. It 
has become an interesting experiment.
   I have been involved in multiple, multi-day events, but the days 
were always contiguous. What would happen, I wondered, if you did 10 Open 
Spaces, each an hour and a half, and separated by a week? I had little question 
that something useful (rich learning, community, etc) might occur in the first 
session – but would it continue, build, attenuate? The question is neither idle 
or purely academic, and could point in the direction of enhancing extended, 
formal learning environments.
   My host was a university and my experience to date has been that 
no matter how fiercely universities pursue “advanced learning 
environments/approaches,” they are terrified of Open Space.  Those may not be 
the words the academics of my acquaintance would be comfortable with – but 
those words do seem to fairly describe the behavior. Open Space is occasionally 
allowed as an “experiment” – with the full and certain knowledge that it could 
not possibly “work.” I have also witnessed massive and sustained efforts 
devoted to the eradication of Open Space in those rare instances when it seemed 
to have taken root.
   Why these attitudes exist, I do not know (but I do have some 
suspicions) – however the opportunity to test the academic environment was 
irresistible. Certainly the statistical significance of my experiment is 
negligible. There is an effective N of 1… all the way around. One class, one 
university, one time. The participants are all senior citizens, and the course 
content perhaps bizarre: Death, Dying and Life.
   We are now three quarters of the way through. Prudence would 
dictate waiting for the end and a follow up with post-tests. However the trends 
are pretty clear and academic purity was never my strong point. Besides if the 
definitive word is not written others (that could be you!) might do a 
replication, and that would be wonderful! For the record, I did everything “by 
the book” – including post-its, masking tape, Issues of concern stuck to the 
wall. In the first session we posted issues to be addressed over the next 10 
weeks, with the clear understanding that additions and changes could be made at 
any point along the way.
   The first session happened just like usual – no surprise. We 
took about half an hour to create the agenda leaving one hour for the first 
groups, of which there were four. Reports were generated over the next week, 
emailed back to me – and then combined and resent.
   One week later everybody returned (16) and the next round of 
groups occurred (I forget how many) without prodding or assistance. In fact I 
left to get some coffee. When an hour had expired, all returned for a brief 
Closing Circle, actually sort of square, as it seems that circles are a step 
too far for the university ☺ I thought we might be getting somewhere when one 
of the participants said the whole thing was really odd. “We were talking about 
Death and Grief… and people were laughing.”
   This past week I received an email from the university official 
saying that she wished to “visit the class, possibly for 15 minutes.” I 
responded that she was certainly welcome, but that I was unsure what, if 
anything, she might see or hear. The room we had been assigned was rather small 
and definitely noisy with multiple groups conversing. It took the participants 
virtually no time at all to discover a number of small “conversation nooks,” 
furnished and private, located all over the building. Of course, during class 
hours everybody else was in class – except for our participants. They were 
everywhere and kept moving. I suggested that the official might do better to 
come for the whole time (1 ½ hours) so she would at 

Re: [OSList] Teaching OST

[Royle, Karl via OSList]

Seems to me it’s a pattern and a frame (even though it pretends to be open ) 
there is openness and agency freedom .. within the frame for the period and 
duration of the opening event...

People like patterns and frames 

It sort of fits with the notion of smooth and striated spaces.. deleuze and 
guttari... 

Smooth space is about rhyzomic.. thought and striated about controlled linear 
patterns

However smooth space can become striated and vice versa

I like to think that OST opens smooth space and holds it before striation 
reasserts itself

And this too

ten principles of learning that Rogers (1969, pp. 157-164) abstracted from his 
own experience:
1. Human beings have a natural potentiality for learning. “They are curious 
about their world, until and unless this curiosity is blunted by their 
experience in our educational system” (p. 157).
2. Significant learning takes place when the subject matter is perceived by the 
student as having relevance for his own purposes. “A somewhat more formal way 
of stating this is that a person learns significantly only those things which 
he perceives as being involved in the maintenance of or the enhancement of his 
own self” (p. 158).
3. Learning which involves a change in self organization—in the perception of 
oneself—is threatening and tends to be resisted.

ten principles of learning that Rogers (1969, pp. 157-164) abstracted from his 
own experience:
1. Human beings have a natural potentiality for learning. “They are curious 
about their world, until and unless this curiosity is blunted by their 
experience in our educational system” (p. 157).
2. Significant learning takes place when the subject matter is perceived by the 
student as having relevance for his own purposes. “A somewhat more formal way 
of stating this is that a person learns significantly only those things which 
he perceives as being involved in the maintenance of or the enhancement of his 
own self” (p. 158).
3. Learning which involves a change in self organization—in the perception of 
oneself—is threatening and tends to be resisted.

Reflections? It took me a while to recognize that Open Space is not a method 
that we might “do” or “impose” – rather it is a memory of what we already 
possess. OS simply allows us to recall that we are all self-organizing 
creatures – no matter how much we might like to think we are “in charge.” The 
really ridiculous thing is that clients pay us (occasionally quite well) for 
giving them something they already possess. But at 82, my ethics are getting a 
little foggy. I did have a client one time who figured it out. He said, 
“Harrison, you have the greatest con game going. You charge a significant fee 
for something the people already have (but may not know it) – and then you go 
and take a nap while they do exactly what they already know how to do…” Keep 
those checks coming Baby! Of course, I am here in Maine where the weather is 
warmish but wonderful… and what would you say about that?

Karl,

Michael Fullan is one of my longest standing heroes in education. His recent 
works, with Joanne Quinn and Joanne McEachen, Coherence: The Right Drivers in 
Action for Schools, Districts, and Systems, and, Deep Learning: Engage the 
World, Change the World, are really wonderful, thorough, and solid. He’s also 
been an advisor to our project, and one of the acknowledgements in the article 
you cite is the other person I am working with on this project, Jal Mehta, at 
the Harvard Graduate School of Education. But I am not sure they get all the 
way to total system redesign around principles and practices of social network 
learning theory and pattern emergence through iterative feedback mechanisms, 
which is why I love this conversation thread you started.


Note that I cite Peggy in my blog. Also Margaret Wheatley.

All,

I am finding this conversation just fascinating. I’ve been working on a project 
with some school superintendents to completely redesign the organizational 
systems within which what is being called “deeper learning” (engaging, 
meaningful, real world, academically challenging, that combines mastery with 
identity and creativity and connection) can happen more pervasively and 
equitably in public schools in the US and Canada. Part of the challenge is to 
overcome old epistemological notions of how adults learn and how organizations 
are formed, because for the most part those are still conceptualized in public 
education as operating within Newtonian, mechanistic assumptions (which inhibit 
the appropriate structures and processes for learning and organizing). I just 
wrote a blog on EdWeek about this challenge, and referred to some of the 
literature on social learning theory and pattern emergence as appropriate 
heuristics for this reconceptualization. I would love to be a part of our own 
emerging conversation about this topic.

Subject: [OSList] Papers and writing about opening space

Dear Colleagues,

I am in the process of writing a PHD by publication and have become interested 
in the conceptual basis of opening space/holding space and closing space. I am 
also interested in the concept of self structuring  of open space (contentious 
I know) and pattern recognition as people participate in open space.

Does anyone know of any literature around these themes.. or equally, any 
thoughts?

Just a thought.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Karl - would you say more about your questions? What are the initial 
directions of your inquiry around a "conceptual basis" of opening holding and 
closing space?

And what do you mean by "self structuring of open space"?


This is based on the notion of if there is an open space or a “free space” then 
sooner rather than later people start to structure it. OS seems to hold the 
space open by having the rule and laws which actually regulate the 
participatory process. I’ve been reading Deleuze and Guattari  on smooth ness 
and striation of space..



Best explanation I have found is here.. 
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.129.624=rep1=pdf


And can you say a bit more about "pattern recognition as people participate in 
open space"

This is just an observation and I could be wrong ( probably am) but there’s a 
dynamic pattern to open space that is iterative that people recognise quickly 
and learn. A couple of years ago we opened space with 500 primary school 
children and at first it was chaotic, but as the day progressed the children 
learned the laws  etc and the movement from session to market place to newswall 
etc and this is similar to agile techniques that structure work practices but 
enable collaboration in spaces created by the iterative pattern of work , by 
its underpinning philosophy and through its ceremonies.

I wrote a PhD on open space using some unusual methodologies including Organic 
Inquiry (feminist heuristic phenomenology) and Indigenous Science.

I've also been involved in some of the conversations about researching Open 
Space over the years.

Subject: [OSList] Papers and writing about opening space

Dear Colleagues,

I am in the process of writing a PHD by publication and have become interested 
in the conceptual basis of opening space/holding space and closing space. I am 
also interested in the concept of self structuring  of open space (contentious 
I know) and pattern recognition as people participate in open space.

Does anyone know of any literature around these themes.. or equally, any 
thoughts?

Just a thought.

Many thanks in advance

Dear Harrison,

Thanks for this. I have a copy of Spirit but will look out the others. The main 
thing I am thinking of is the connection between human agency, choice and the 
mechanisms that enable people to choose courses of action within usually highly 
structured contexts. I’m interested in how OS, for example creates a bubble of 
freedom within usually highly controlled contexts where people can realise 
their ideas collaboratively. I’m also interested in participatory practices.

Best

Karl

Karl – there is very little in the academic literature for reasons I’ve always 
found interesting and odd… but predictable. However, the International Press 
has covered it extensively and if you will accept a rather biased source, I 
have a number of books on the subject. 5 remain in print and are published by 
Berrett-Koehler. There are also a number of others, now out of print, but 
available online at 
www.openspaceworld.com<https://url6.mailanyone.net/v1/?m=1fblXA-00053c-5Y=57e1b682=mN0ZupQYFsDl6MxwZaWbDLBReR4ggM_kxhYGnW08lA7O2hiYmaul30djz43Vn7IjwUU4ZftSdOIgo78_t62CCjCcVlKS5psX0nRHdkplIFa4zVPDqFZIGaM_hk-x2CnMa1eJsSj9duBEHcPyhSWzXk_M_LpBSbnQt-h6uyDrhK1Vbpq366s6gWMEqCIGFmCWQlzbZxXnPJmilX8-YEoGUgdY5-kJbudWrLk_UxrxsaA>
 along with s number of occasional papers.  You might find my first book, 
“Spirit: Transformation and Development in Organizations” interesting. It is 
not about Open Space per se but represents the basic framework out of which it 
grew. It is also the first time I used the words “open space.” Good luck – and 
I’d love to see where you go.

Dear friends in Open Space
I just returned home after almost 6 months “in open space”. My wife and myself

Laos and Indonesia. No musts just going with the flow – being in open space. 
What a privilege and joy. And now I am back in our house, renovating my office 
and enjoying summer holiday . I have also booked my tickets to join WOSonOS in 
Iceland in October. Otherwise 
there is a lot of open space ahead which gives me the opportunity to be and see 
what emerges. Exciting!

I also want to take the opportunity to ask you to spread the word, if you know 
anyone interested to learn how to work with OST in a sustainable way. I am 
happy to offer our three day training September 12-14 in our favorite place in 
The Netherlands, 50 min from Amsterdam airport. This learning journey is 
facilitated by a great team where I am happy to “work” together with Doris

Re: [OSList] Research OST

[Royle, Karl via OSList]

Birgit

I left my notes on my desk over the weekend but this is how I would approach it 
as a research project.

This is mostly based on wrapping frameworks and methods of analysis around OS. 
This sort of supposes that t can be researched conventionally which other 
readers may agree to differ on.

Basically, as others have mentioned you can have a pre while and post structure.

So why do organisations/people turn to t as a method. What happens during the 
event itself and what is the impact or so what factor afterwards… This last it 
can be immediately.. 1 week.. 1 year etc.

Breaking this down a bit further you could look at three other elements across 
that framework.


  1.  The system/mechanism/event of OS :  There are several things that I 
believe may be intrinsic to OS in that it creates a space for Human Agency 
(Bandura) and what Sen calls Agency Freedom or the ability to choose certain 
paths to maximise valued functioning. I think OS allows a microcosm of an ideal 
society where choice is open to all.. (just my idea) There are also elements 
of: Ceremony and patterning in ceremony that might be facilitating OS; also… 
definitely a move to heterarchy which dismantles hierarchy for the time of OS 
at least. There is also something about creativity and producing new knowledge 
or exchanging knowledge. So these are all fields that you could look at. One 
that I like quite a lot is the comparison of OS with game theory… Cailois 
(1958) talks about the qualities of games…


Freedom


Separateness (from events outside the rules) (Immersiveness )


Uncertainty of outcome


Non productiveness


Governed by rules


Make believe (not real)


So some of those fit OS but others don’t but there is something playful about 
OS I guess.

2. The next thing to research is people…and you could do this in a mixed method 
kind of way… there are plenty of validated surveys that could look at self 
efficacy pre and post event and this could be mixed up with focus groups and 
another method I like called main significant change which is a narrative 
method. There are also mood diaries…digital or non digital, also you could look 
at social capital, enduring or otherwise social network analysis changes if the 
OS is for one company and also identity capital.

3. There are lots of ways to look at impact post event, again on individuals, 
and organisations and you can also look at ROI.


How to do it would be to choose some research questions, make your research 
design, design some data collection methods and then implement them across 5 or 
6 events in the course of a year that capture a range of purposes, demographics 
etc.

Then analyse the data and look for similarities and differences… coming up with 
case studies and then by analysing each case look towards a cross case analysis 
around agreed themes.

Hope this makes sense.

Best

Karl

Subject: Re: [OSList] Research OST

Harrison...
thanks for those beginnings. I am after a hypothesis that is bigger, more 
inclusive. Different lenses, when applied such as self leading, self managing, 
self organizing, learning, etc all feel limiting to me...as in looking at a 
bigger picture from only one angle, one lens. it is not sufficiently satisfying 
to do so in relation to what happens.

I won't join on the excitement/lens of 'self organizing' as I feel it is too 
limiting. It is almost like, 'humans self organize, big deal, so what?'and 
it fact look what this aspect of ourselves has gotten ourselves and our planet 
into. Humans have experiences and humans learn. Period. Humans either learn 
that which could be considered good and usefulor harmful and life 
depleting. I don't think you can stop humans from learning. So, from my 
perspective, those two lenses are limiting.

I kind of liked the phrase I noticed immediately in your post 'Do we Fly?'.

I loved a lot your initial hypothesis as I understood it 'when we make space 
for Spirit to do the work of Spirit, miracles happen'. I am not sure you put it 
that way. It is simply how I choose to remember what attracted me to your work 
to start with and your book about Spirit. I am pretty sure that this is not an 
acceptable research hypothesis.I just wanted to put it out as it is where 
joy is for me with OST.

Blessings,
Birgitt

[Royle, Karl via OSList]

I’ve been thinking about it on the drive into work and will post more later ….. 
As it's a phenomena …. It's definitely researchable, you just need to find some 
suitable frameworks..

I’m always a bit sceptical about things that people say just happen, especially 
when they are actually organised.  :-)

Subject: Re: [OSList] Research OST

I find the concept of researching self-organization in human systems to prove 
that it happens intriguing and I have no idea how one would approach it since 
it's all self-organizing and I'm not sure the human perspective of working / 
not working etc applies.

As I first read one off the posts I thought it's kind of like proving fire 
isthen I realized hey.there is a combustion point ...things that 
accelerate of diminish fires...ways to start them etc etc.

I think a second part of the challenge is that self-organizing is like gravity 
or electro magnetics in that it is invisible and we don't have a way of 
measuring it that I know of.

These are my rambling musings and I'm interested in others perspectives.

Best to all,

Re: [OSList] Research OST

I think, if you want to research it at all, you should be looking at effects on 
people and organisations.

And, I think there is something about pattern recognition in the modus operandi 
of OS and there is certainly something about personal and collective agency and 
self efficacy. Bandura

That is where I would look.. I also might apply a standard evaluation of formal 
training to it as a framework for analysis… maybe Kirkpatrick

Did you like it
Did you learn anything
Has it changed your behavior
Has it impacted wider/ reach and ownership

But as each instance of OS is unique you might want to do this as case studies… 
collect them together and then do a cross case analysis.

This is all doable and easy to do ☺

Re: [OSList] Impact of open space

[Royle, Karl via OSList]

Hi

I think in this case the idea coincided with necessity and existing external 
drivers for enhancing the student experience ...outcomes. So I think there was 
already space opening for something to happen. I also think the head of faculty 
... for all her faults, and she had many, was willing to take a chance on 
OS...to try to bind us together or at least get us all talking. The otherness 
of the external facilitator was crucial too. At the event people came to me and 
said that it was the first time they had felt able to speak at an event and felt
Listened to.

Since then we have used os with school kids and next month with our health and 
art faculty to start projects that combine the two disciplines... so I think 
there is space for os and still space for what happens afterwards... it 
certainly releases creative energy... much of which falls into the cracks and 
fissures of the organisation but other bits lodge and take root like benevolent 
viruses within the culture

I am surprised that the author of this research considers that unconferences 
are characterized by a “distinct lack of structure”!
OST has a very clear and precise structure; it may be minimal but it is 
exquisitely minimal which is why it is so powerful and effective.
Reminds me of when I was a kid and my music teacher considered that jazz was 
not “real music" 

source paper.

Unstructured Meeting Organisation in Open Source Communities

Professor Emma Bell, Professor of Management and Organisation Studies, Keele 
University, will be presenting at the next DPO seminar on Wednesday, 7 
December, at 14:00, in Meeting Rooms 3 - 4 in the Michael Young Building.

Abstract:

In this paper we focus on the organisation of ‘unconferences’, an umbrella term 
that refers to a range of off-site meeting formats where there an explicit 
attempt to break down social hierarchies and develop organic forms of 
organization (Burns and Stalker, 1961).  Also referred to as ‘camps’, 
unconferences have no pre-set agenda, are designed to be participant driven 
(Wolf et al., 2011), and are characterised by a ‘distinct lack of structure’ 
(Boule, 2011: 17).  Drawing on a qualitative study of unconferences aimed at 
managers and management consultants, we assess the extent to which 
unconferencing enables the hierarchical power relations that characterise 
conventional off-site meeting organisation to be overcome (Bell and King, 2010; 
Ford and Harding, 2008).  We find that unconferences go some way towards 
addressing interactional and performative dynamics that contribute towards 
unequal participation and exclusion in off-site meeting encounters. However, 
our analysis also highlights the powerful behavioural norms and group dynamics 
associated with off-site meetings which can result in these attempts at 
openness and sharing being undermined.

source paper.

Unstructured Meeting Organisation in Open Source Communities

Professor Emma Bell, Professor of Management and Organisation Studies, Keele 
University, will be presenting at the next DPO seminar on Wednesday, 7 
December, at 14:00, in Meeting Rooms 3 - 4 in the Michael Young Building.

Abstract:

In this paper we focus on the organisation of ‘unconferences’, an umbrella term 
that refers to a range of off-site meeting formats where there an explicit 
attempt to break down social hierarchies and develop organic forms of 
organization (Burns and Stalker, 1961).  Also referred to as ‘camps’, 
unconferences have no pre-set agenda, are designed to be participant driven 
(Wolf et al., 2011), and are characterised by a ‘distinct lack of structure’ 
(Boule, 2011: 17).  Drawing on a qualitative study of unconferences aimed at 
managers and management consultants, we assess the extent to which 
unconferencing enables the hierarchical power relations that characterise 
conventional off-site meeting organisation to be overcome (Bell and King, 2010; 
Ford and Harding, 2008).  We find that unconferences go some way towards 
addressing interactional and performative dynamics that contribute towards 
unequal participation and exclusion in off-site meeting encounters. However, 
our analysis also highlights the powerful behavioural norms and group dynamics 
associated with off-site meetings which can result in these attempts at 
openness and sharing being undermined.


Cheers, Andi Roberts

Dear Harrison.

As I read your post the sun is just rising in the uk over the frosted fields. 
If ever there was a thought for the day or everyday in this time of disruption

Hi Christine,

Thank you for sharing this challenge with us. So exciting that corporates are 
reaching the point of realizing that the wisdom of the many, can help them to 
create a better future.

I was involved in a process of values definition, in a company of 4300 
employees, in 30 countries, using a participatory approach with an Appreciative 
inquiry process.
I can share with you happily, and I think you can take some inspiration, and 
practical ideas and incorporate them into your project.

To summarize it shortly, the process was based on :


  *   Collecting stories from all employees (AI stories), by inviting them to 
share the story through a website that was built for the process. Each story 
got a title, which presented the main message.


  *   Each employee had the opportunity to enter the website and vote for the 
story and the message that he feels express the best of the company, and will 
promise the best value for the future.


  *   In a parallel process, Internal HR specialists facilitated workshops with 
groups of employees in some sites to dive deeper into  AI questionnaire.


  *   All outcomes : the crowd wisdom from the websites and the outputs from 
the workshops, were collected by the organization development department and 
were and were cultivated into a definition of the core values of the company.

 If you find it helpful, I can share with you the process in more details, or 
contact you to this company for a deeper benchmark.

Hi friends

I came across a potential client who wants to co-create a vision involving all 
collaborators  (2500 people in 11 countries) and even more (clients, 
suppliers..) and is looking for someone to help them for this one-year process.
They did it already about 10 years ago (they were of course less people at that 
time), with a process that, If I understand clearly, seems to me closed to what 
Doyle was doing.
They want to do it again as, as you can imagine, the world has changed 
completely in 10 years and they are facing  new kind of challenges and 
competitors.
They also want it to be « modern », involving digital tools.. and lots of 
communication.

I am still not sure how I will answer to this request.

One possibility would be to stick to what they know and look to partner with 
someone who know the process they have in mind. This person would need to speak 
French.
My question then  to you is : is any of you/do you know anyone/  familiar with  
the deep visioning process of Michael Doyle ? I’d love to talk to you then.

The other possibility would be to imagine a process that involves what I know, 
like OST, world cafe, AI , chaordic etc..

Do you have stories of this kind of processes involving all stakeholders, 
especially all collaborators, a dozen of countries and  getting to a Vision 
statement : purpose, mission, .. difference, values …
How did you do it ?

Re: [OSList] University training for Open Space Technology?

[Royle, Karl via OSList]

A masters in facilitation would be more specific I guess within which ost would 
be an element . It would fall more neatly into the requirements of formal 
masters study.

With regard to more radical approaches I like the idea of ost for co 
construction of learning/ learning design or even curriculum design. I also 
think it would be a great way to redesign schooling in general so the activity 
of Ost could be used within a change and innovation based masters in education 
or any other organisational development paradigm.

I could see the facilitation of change being a fundamental element with cycles 
of ost as the change catalyst which enabled people to transform their 
organisations from within.

What a great question!

So if a Masters is one year of theory and practice, then the design would need 
to create the minimal structure needed to support their learning, unlearning, 
practice, etc... maybe the pre-Masters programme could be an OST on designing 
the programme!

However a Masters in Facilitation would be more interesting for me, to explore 
the spectrum of what is called "facilitation". As a group they could each 
explore different areas that attract them and also that don't attract them, and 
then they could start bringing it all together and ultimately deliver one 
thesis as a group.

Clearly I am projecting my crazy ideas on you!!!

I'm with Harrison on this ... Although I'm sure a master's course could go in 
many directions in terms of mastery...and in terms of facilitation or mentoring.

However, I think that open space is a beautiful thing that is what it is. You 
could do a research degree on
It but not really a modern Bologna style course.. Would probably have too much 
organisation required :-) nice idea though

I think it really could be worthwhile IF the program was NOT about facilitating 
Open Space – which can be done in a few minutes or less. Actually, I find that 
most of the time required goes to unlearning just about everything you ever 
learned about “facilitating.”

The heart of the program could be (should be / my opinion) about learning to 
live (helping others learn) in a self organizing world. Lots of thinking. Lots 
new experiences – and definitely worth a year or so. A life time will do, 
barely. That could be fun and really beneficial!

Hi All,

I'm doing a project looking at potential improvements to the design of a 
one-year Public Policy Master's Program. One aspect is the peer-to-peer 
learning and I want to promote participatory methods like OST. The powers that 
be are all about the 'evidence base' so I'm wondering if anyone could share any 
articles that have studied impact of OST in specific situations (doesn't have 
to be in education setting)?

Thanks!

Re: [OSList] A Little tremor...

[Royle, Karl via OSList]

Many of us brits were in the 48%. Who voted to stay in and probably trying to 
become Scottish or Irish

And 75% of people aged 18 to 25 were in favour of staying in.

The vote wasn’t about the eu but was caused by persistent inequality and 
generated fear of the other by a ruling elite that should have known better.

The Uk will ultimately be ok ish

The fear will start if the rest of the EU folds as a result. Not so much 
opening space but creating a black hole

Subject: [OSList] A Little tremor...

You may have noticed a certain shaking in the World Order. It registered 611.21 
on the Dow Jones. That’s a negative 611.21. Essentially wiped out all gains for 
the year. Money is only what you think it is and … suddenly… pooof! IT wasn’t 
!!!

One of the “trending stories” on the New York Times was about Brits Googling to 
find out what they had done to themselves. Marvelous. It doesn’t seem to be 
“trending” anymore or I would send it to you. But such things do come and go.

Of course there has been a massive cast of characters, casting stones at 
everybody else. Idiots! …along with  a smaller set who are sure they know 
exactly what to do, how to do it, and who should be in charge. Themselves, of 
course.

Definitely interesting times.

Might be something worth talking about?

This is called opening space, seeing who shows up, and knowing that whoever 
cares will be precisely the right people for the conversation. Of course we 
didn’t do a lot of “pre-work.” Who knew the Brits were going to be a crazy as 
they were/are? – or are they? And no matter… Serious stuff never happens on 
schedule, according to plan… when we are all prepared…

And to quote a great saint (Brian)…. Whenever…

Re: [OSList] The Art of Collaboration / Collaboratory (because Hello and a question is Maria's question)

Jasmina Nikolic can speak Spanish and is os facilitator but I'm not sure if 
that was the question :-)

Dear colleagues - I have adjusted the title of this email because Maria’s 
question is slightly different from the content below - though yes, she is in 
Donostia and may be exploring her question with others face-to-face during 
these collaborative experiences.

Kaixo (hello) Xenki ! !
And a besarkada! (hug - am I correct?)
(in Basque language / Euskara)

Now that I have met you amazing folks and shared learning experiences with some 
of you in the Open Space Learning Workshop in Donostia and our conversations in 
the OSELE, I miss you. It is good to see you Maria, Xenki and others here on 
the OSLIST !

Sadly, I will not be in Donostia for these days of workshops and conversations, 
but I will be with you all in spirit.

It is my understanding that Ana Rubio and Beatrice will be doing Open Space for 
whatever in these dates may turn out to be an Open Space event.
In the spirit of collaboration, folks on this list - perhaps you may wish to 
contact them to find out their plans.

aru...@iifac.organd 
bbri...@iifac.org

The reason that I myself am not facilitating is that I want to support 
first-language capacity - the Open Space event open to the public will as I 
understand it be in Spanish as its first language. So I wanted to support 
someone with full-on skills as an experienced Open Space facilitator who -also- 
had as their first-language (or perhaps 2nd, in the case of some people who are 
Basque), Spanish. I have lots of experience in facilitation and in OS - but I 
am not first-language Spanish, though I speak Spanish. It is cultural as much 
as about words.

So: If you help Ana and Bea do what they may ultimately do with Open Space, 
that may be something you may wish to support and include yourselves in, my 
friends. An event that may be facilitated in Spanish. I have supported many 
colleagues who facilitate in not-my-language, and it is really fun. In Open 
Space, you can still see and feel what is going on and you can still help the 
facilitator.  I especially remember an OS all in Russian where I helped support 
our colleague Elena Marchuk. Amazing what you can feel and sense and of course 
as we know, you can hold space.

The other reason I could not attend is resources - there was not a way for me 
to afford coming back to Spain - I do not have an organization or other source 
of resourcing - I am self-resourced. So perhaps some of you who are closer 
geographically can go to fabulous (really really fabulous) Donostia with the 
funding you or some organization that supports you can offer.

So: I support you from afar, Xenki and CoLaborators ! !

I have not heard if there is yet a clear objective and desired outcome for the 
Open Space parts, if OS will indeed be the process that is analyzed to be the 
right fit for time and task and such - or if there has yet been found a 
physical site for that, what about outreach for it, schedules and other 
interconnected elements that support design and process. I understand that 
things are self-organizing and if this is still so, and still in process, it 
might be yet another reason to lend your support to Ana and Bea - to find out 
those things together.

There is as I understand it also a sort of organic designing-it-together 
element to these dates, with the addition of some workshops and some different 
gatherings. And of course there is the continuing professional and cultural 
learning of being with diverse colleagues passionate about dialogue and 
discussing these things over local food and beverage, as well. I will be with 
you in spirit for that part, as well… ;o)

Abrazos,
Lisa

Just a thought about the “technology” bit. Apologies if this has been covered 
before.
Does the use of technology refer to definitions of technology as process and 
knowledge creation?

One of the deep spirits I met in the space that seems to open all by itself

world famous director with credits for operas at the Met in New York, a

more than that he is somebody who really cares, and who can share that caring 
in compelling ways.  I am sure you will see what I mean if you click on….

It is the longest, darkest night of the year. The Earth stops for a moment as 
if to take a breath before pushing on once again towards the light. There is a 
quiet tranquility not often found in the busy days of the year. This is truly 
something to be treasured. If you can step out of the commercial and social 
whirlwind of the season and breathe this in for even a few minutes you will 
experience the peace that we all seem to be looking for at this time of year.

The Earth has so many lessons for us, balance being one of the big ones. While 
we are stumbling around in the dark of the winter solstice our friends in the 
southern hemisphere are enjoying the longest day of the year. The Earth is 
always in balance which is why she works so well.I'll be sitting still for 
a moment tonight at 11:47 PM EST. I hope you'll join me where ever you may be.  
Let's open this circle as wide as possible and feel how connected we can be.  
Enjoy the turning back to the light.  Please feel free to pass this on if you 
feel the urge. Otherwise,  you may wish to choose one less thing to do right 
now.  Whatever happens,

Hi folks


My colleague Francois Knuchel and I are hosting two workshops on learning how 
to use and implement Open Space. We would be extremely grateful if you would 
share with our networks.

They will be suitable for those new to facilitating using this technique, using 
it to solve problems collectively in organisations or introducing it into a 
larger programme. However, if someone already has OS hosting experience or 
understanding of OS, but wants to go deeper or learn from other perspectives, 
then you are very welcome to join us too. There are a limited number of 'pay 
what you want' tickets available for anyone convincing us the world would be a 
better place for their participation, and early bird tickets are on sale now.

Unleash The People with Open Space: 1 day and 2 day workshops, 12 June London 
and 21-22 August Brighton

  *   Learn how to host participant led unConferences, solve complex problems 
together in organisations and introduce real and manageable change that's 
effective

Details and tickets

We're also hosting an Open Space event in London, 21 July:
Shift - Why aren't organisations shifting? unConference
Just as the combined efforts of the powers-that-be in the 16th and 17th 
Centuries were unable to halt the progress of Copernicus’ Revolution in 
astronomy, so also today’s big hierarchical bureaucracies, though seemingly 
all-powerful, will ultimately succumb to the power of a better idea for running 
organizations—better for customers, better for employees, better for managers, 
better for society, and better for the organizations and their investors.

Subject: [OSList] Agile Coaching Lessons

Agile adoption turns out to be a wonderful entry point for quickly 
introducing Open Space into organizations. Perhaps the entry point...

The IT function is a sitting duck for improvement in most organizations. The 
people-problems involved in creating software are epic and legendary. These 
organizations are seeking real solutions. Can Open Space help? Yes, it can.

Agile ideas can help-- and Open Space is a wonderful way to introduce them. 
Open Space shows just how good it can be. Open Space demonstrates 
self-organization at scale. From the point of view of the Agile coach, the 
similarities between facilitating a great Open Space event and coaching a great 
Agile adoption are quite numerous, and profound.



Quality information about the how-to of Agile coaching can be quite hard to 
come by. It is also expensive. Furthermore there is nothing whatsoever 
available today that discusses Open Space within the context of Agile adoption.

While there are some generic books out there, and some classes... there is 
little in the way of freely obtainable, practical guidance based on direct 
experience. There are always some expensive classes you can buy, classes that 
explain various theories...




...Without fully understanding why, lately I've been experimenting with 
defining and publishing a set of about 60 short essays that encapsulate most of 
what I know about Agile coaching. Open Space figures prominently in these 
essays.

I'm hoping my 10,000++ hours of experience (doing this kind of work since 2007) 
might be of some value to you.

Here is the latest essay, Lesson #8, the one that scratches the surface on the 
why Open Space question:

Agile Coaching Lesson to show up each week, with the French translation showing

Regards technology, I have seen used to some effect:
Google Forms
Google Docs
​Hackpad

However the social technology needs to match.  These all work very well if the 
group culture is to bring laptops to an event.​  They are little use if not.

​I also hosted an event with a (stationary) video camera set up in a booth for 
video recording.  Not many of the hosts chose to record something, though I'm 
sure some of the video we collected was good!  However editing and sharing it 
was not very efficient and I think it never got used.

​I am yet to see an elegant harvesting solution for a participatory event with

Hi everyone,
Many happy holidays to all of you! It’s moments like this one in which my 
appreciation for this community bubbles over!

I only open space about twice a year, and in the meantime, I fall out of 
knowing the best practices and newest innovations. Please forgive me if the 
answers to my questions are already nicely packaged somewhere and I don’t know 
about it. Just point me in the right direction and I’ll be very grateful.

I am opening space in Washington DC on January 22nd.  I have a few questions 
that I’d love some guidance on.  All feedback and thoughts are very welcome and 
appreciated.

1. How’s this invitation? Any suggestions to make it a more irresistible offer? 
 If you’d like to see the (not-yet-public) virtual invitation, it’s here:
http://www.eventbrite.com/e/space-for-dance-and-dancers-tickets-15038919814

A free, participatory dialogue about what matters to you - space for dance and 
dancers!
And, because we know what else matters... free snacks and drinks will be 
provided.

However you define dance (concert dance, social dance, competitive dance, 
street dance, whatever!) and however you define space, (for living, dancing, 
rehearsing, touring, hosting, traveling, whatever!) if you have needs, wants, 
ideas about space for dance and dancers in the metro DC area, come talk about 
them!
The beginning (starting at 5:30 PM) is very important - don't miss that part! 
It's when you will propose topics of interest to you that others will join.
The spirit of this event is that you are either inspired and learning or 
inspiring and contributing something interesting and related to space for dance 
and dancers. If, at any time, that is not true, then you are encouraged to 
change to a different conversation where it is.   There are no key-note 
speakers or other presentations, it's truly a chance for you to be in 
conversations.  It's a highly participatory experience and you are needed to 
make it work!
The results of this event will be supplied (as we collectively produce our 
messages) to donors, studios, companies, presenters, artists, and more.  Just a 
few of the places that will use the results of this event for future planning 
include: DC Commission on Arts and Humanities, Artomatic, Cultural DC, Dance 
Metro DC, Center for the Creative Economy, ReCreative Spaces.

reliable smart phone app? Is there a website that allows anyone to contribute?  
I’d like the “newsroom”

We just completed our second open space with kids at a high school in 
Birmingham Uk.. With the Sandwell Police engagement team.

The kids get it…just difficult to get the adults to give up their power roles…..

But if you ever get to meet PC Hughie Treasure I’m sure you will know that he 
is a dweller on the threshold.. The things he has done with lifers in prison 
mentoring 16 year olds is amazing!!

Hi everyone,


I am asked for my first Open Space! By a group of parents who are homeschooling 
their children and want to form as an association.
They already planned the meeting for the 10th of January. The duration for the 
planned event is 3h30 and there will be a shared meal before it. It really 
seems short to me for an Open Space.


There will be around 40 adults and 30 children. The children will be taken care 
of by some adults, but some of them may also take part to the event. It would 
be great :)


We had no preparation meeting so on as I was just contacted but they already 
sent me by email some of the subjects they would like to discuss. Even if I 
know that in OST subjects are not planned in advance, I share them with you as 
a way to determine if OST can be a good thing for this group of people  :


 -  Aims and objectives of the non-profit we could create.
-  What are the resources we want to give ourselves (time, energy, money) ?
-  What are our resources for the long term?
-  How to build a sustainable association or group that does not depend on one 
or two persons?
-  The creation and role a committee could have in the non profit
- Would we like to merge or collaborate with the Homeschool Association of 
Switzerland?Pros, cons, how?
-  Next steps
-  Articles of the non-profit
- What is the aim of the non profit? Create activities? Support people in their 
choice? To be known?



I have also understood that the situation is tense, because some cantons in 
Switzerland are going towards forbiding Homeschooling.



As it would be my first Open Space, any advice is welcome. I am especially 
wondering if Open Space is a first good step in that case and what can be 
realistically achieved in 3h30 by a group of people that mostly don't know each 
other and would like to have some consensual concrete next steps at the end of 
the afternoon.


Any advice welcome, even if it is to say : please do something else :)


Thanks!

Switzerland?Pros, cons, how?
-  Next steps
-  Articles of the non-profit
- What is the aim of the non profit? Create activities? Support people in their 
choice? To be known?



I have also understood that the situation is tense, because some cantons in 
Switzerland are going towards forbiding Homeschooling.



As it would be my first Open Space, any advice is welcome. I am especially 
wondering if Open Space is a first good step in that case and what can be 
realistically achieved in 3h30 by a group of people that mostly don't know each 
other and would like to have some consensual concrete next steps at the end of 
the afternoon.


Any advice welcome, even if it is to say : please do something else :)


Thanks!

HI

I think you could look at work on capability/functionings… Sen and Agency… 
personal and Collective Bandura… as a starting point for a survey around 
participation in OS.

Hi John

The next step would probably to identify some purpose in form of a research 
questions. What is it that we are looking for, so that we can start to think 
about what to measure.

Manuel,

Thanks for sharing - I am totally with you! Love Ken Robinson's message and 
once I found Open Space so an immediate connection!

Do a google for unschooling and you will see some open space education in 
action ;)

For another like-minded perspective, check out John Taylor Gatto's book, 
Underground History of American 
Educationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Underground_History_of_American_Education
 - I suspect it would apply to many other modern countries:)

I am a huge proponent of bringing this mentality to education and hope to do 
something with this in one of my lifetimes :)

To tell you my person opinion, I am so much into Open space that I would push 
the education system even further, where children could apply the law of two

them. But I guess we have to wait a bit more for that.

Anyway there is some good thoughts about control and learning that are worth

Manuel,

Thanks for sharing - I am totally with you! Love Ken Robinson's message and 
once I found Open Space so an immediate connection!

Do a google for unschooling and you will see some open space education in 
action ;)

For another like-minded perspective, check out John Taylor Gatto's book, 
Underground History of American 
Educationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Underground_History_of_American_Education
 - I suspect it would apply to many other modern countries:)

I am a huge proponent of bringing this mentality to education and hope to do 
something with this in one of my lifetimes :)

Manuel,

Yes, and you may have seen the hole in the wall video, where kids in slums in 
India self-organize around learning, without any supervision at all. 
Explainer roles emerge, and the thing advances beautifully. Without any 
adults(TED talk...)
http://www.ted.com/talks/sugata_mitra_shows_how_kids_teach_themselves?language=en

The title of the talk is Outdoctrination, skip to 6:30 it gets really good 
there.

Folks,

for those of you who don't know Ken Robinson I'd like to invite you to take 
some time on this video ​https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX78iKhInsc. I see 
lots of connections with open space and the kind of reasoning going on in this 
group.

To tell you my person opinion, I am so much into Open space that I would push 
the education system even further, where children could apply the law of two 
feet beautifully and creatively and let them go where their interests push 
them. But I guess we have to wait a bit more for that.

Anyway there is some good thoughts about control and learning that are worth 
listening to. and most of all it's fun. enjoy it!

Hi Harrison,

Here is where I am...been thinking about this:

Everyone's already IN open space, they're just scared of it.

So here goes:

1. Reality: Its all open space all the time. In that environ, then,
Lawof2Feet applies. Go somewhere you can get what you say you want: to
contribute and/or learn. Since it's all open space all the time, that
law is active all the time, if I do not like the situation, off I go,
seeking what I say I want. Or at least what my unconscious wants.

This raises my question: does everyone get want they want in the long run?

2. Reality: Its all open space all the time. In that environ, then,
Whatever happens is the only thing that could have. There are results;
the passionate and responsible help make the only thing. Likewise the
dispassionate and irresponsible help make the only thing. Or do they?
Both groups act on their intent and the only thing that could have
ensues...?

This raises my question: do intentions=results and vice versa?

I wonder if anyone reading this has experiences to share of what I am about to 
describe. Most published stories of open space tend to go by the book. The book 
is often referred to as the user 
http://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm 
guidehttp://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm“, and it tends towards a 
process that is largely based on an instruction 
manualhttp://elementaleducation.com/wp-content/uploads/temp/OpenSpaceTechnology--UsersGuide.pdf.
 Dogmatic application manual can then lead, in my humble opinion, not to one 
less thing to do, but often one more thing to do. These are “guides” not rules, 
and that is the spirit in which they were written. In many cases, the user 
guide proves remarkably resilient and applicable. Yet there is always the next 
moment, the new story, the moment that needs something playful.

There’s a lot in the manual (and the many trainings that have come into being 
from it) about sponsors and invitations, and the things that need to be done 
before an Open Space to ensure the open spacer er… opens space. I have no 
difficulty with the manual. It’s full of good advice and is the foundation you 
might just need to open some space. But, hey, what about this… I’m at a company 
away day that is looking at product innovation. It is business critical, and it 
is floundering. Powerpoint after Powerpoint has resulted in a stifled audience, 
and when they get to breakout sessions, the flipcharts look empty, the energy 
is low, and it all looks a bit too quiet. There’s a feeling in the room that 
the event is dying on its feet. Several sessions are lost in badly facilitated 
action planning. I am on the team and the lead facilitator looks to me for any 
ideas. It must be because I am silent and looking knowing and wise.

Actually I’m seething inside at this over-facilitated, over-designed, 
overplanned conference crash. Do you mind if I… I ask, a bit pompously and the 
lead facilitator is up for whatever help he can get. I leap up, and step into 
the mess. I have a loud voice and it can’t get any worse than this. An idea has 
just occurred to me and I decide to hurl it into the cluttered room. “Er, hey.” 
I roar. “Why don’t we open some space?” I’m loud. It goes silent.

This is what I say: “This is crap isn’t it?” Silence. “Can everyone bring their 
chairs and let’s get into a big circle. Tuts, irritation, doubt and mostly 
relief. Two minutes later there’s a big circle.

I introduce open space in about four minutes and quickly crab some flip chart 
paper and tack it to the wall, creating four corners at new breakout spaces.

I ask people to take their chairs with them and, within about ten minutes we 
have a whole bunch of different sessions, many based around action.

The bosses in the room are gobsmacked.

We have a two hour open space until wrap up and there’s a huge buzz in the room 
from this pop-up open space.

The invite was improvised and spontaneous.

The space opened because it wanted and needed to. It popped up and out as if it 
were the most natural thing in the world. It transformed the day and sent the 
clutter fleeing for cover. It was done without fuss and chairs from the main 
circle quickly went into breakout and back again. The facilitator team were 
edgy because they felt they were supposed to be doing something and I dragged 
them away for coffee. We chatted a bit about “emergence” and I was looked on as 
if I’d done some kind of magic. I was young and enjoyed the attention. I was 
also looked as as if I was a bit weird. Well, I am a bit weird. I do wonder if 
pop-up open space could and should happen a lot more.

A lot of open spacers I know loved improvisation and spontaneity, yet when it 
comes to open space are a bit locked in the process in the book of instructions 
– the manual that tends to overplay the “prep” for the event. So, I’m waving a 
flag for pop-up, guerilla open space. Why not open some space even for the 
process of open space? Let’s shimmy it a little and see what falls out.

“Flash mob” open space has, I think, a big future. My intuition tells me a fair 
number of facilitators have done it, and a fair few of them haven’t reported 
it, telling instead there more “responsible” by-the-book open space stories. 
But why not? Why not open some space on the spur of the moment? The invite is 
still there -it just takes a hell of a lot shorter. The opportunity is always 
there where an over-organised event is

being completely present and utterly invisible.

However, I have heard from sponsors and facilitators that they observed folks 
in open space as very responsible and very passionate and were amazed... they 
had always seen those as grey mice in reality.

In case we all are already in open space, which I suspect is exactly the case, 
are we all scared?

Looking at the folks in the GDR, definitely in open space even though it 
appeared close to shut down, for some reason and in some fashion did gather and 
act in a way that hardly anybody, least they themselves and even less those in 
power had thought possible.

Hi Harrison,

Here is where I am...been thinking about this:

Everyone's already IN open space, they're just scared of it.

So here goes:

1. Reality: Its all open space all the time. In that environ, then,
Lawof2Feet applies. Go somewhere you can get what you say you want: to
contribute and/or learn. Since it's all open space all the time, that
law is active all the time, if I do not like the situation, off I go,
seeking what I say I want. Or at least what my unconscious wants.

This raises my question: does everyone get want they want in the long run?

2. Reality: Its all open space all the time. In that environ, then,
Whatever happens is the only thing that could have. There are results;
the passionate and responsible help make the only thing. Likewise the
dispassionate and irresponsible help make the only thing. Or do they?
Both groups act on their intent and the only thing that could have
ensues...?

This raises my question: do intentions=results and vice versa?

Daniel

I wonder if anyone reading this has experiences to share of what I am about to 
describe. Most published stories of open space tend to go by the book. The book 
is often referred to as the user 
http://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm 
guidehttp://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm“, and it tends towards a 
process that is largely based on an instruction 
manualhttp://elementaleducation.com/wp-content/uploads/temp/OpenSpaceTechnology--UsersGuide.pdf.
 Dogmatic application manual can then lead, in my humble opinion, not to one 
less thing to do, but often one more thing to do. These are “guides” not rules, 
and that is the spirit in which they were written. In many cases, the user 
guide proves remarkably resilient and applicable. Yet there is always the next 
moment, the new story, the moment that needs something playful.

There’s a lot in the manual (and the many trainings that have come into being 
from it) about sponsors and invitations, and the things that need to be done 
before an Open Space to ensure the open spacer er… opens space. I have no 
difficulty with the manual. It’s full of good advice and is the foundation you 
might just need to open some space. But, hey, what about this… I’m at a company 
away day that is looking at product innovation. It is business critical, and it 
is floundering. Powerpoint after Powerpoint has resulted in a stifled audience, 
and when they get to breakout sessions, the flipcharts look empty, the energy 
is low, and it all looks a bit too quiet. There’s a feeling in the room that 
the event is dying on its feet. Several sessions are lost in badly facilitated 
action planning. I am on the team and the lead facilitator looks to me for any 
ideas. It must be because I am silent and looking knowing and wise.

Actually I’m seething inside at this over-facilitated, over-designed, 
overplanned conference crash. Do you mind if I… I ask, a bit pompously and the 
lead facilitator is up for whatever help he can get. I leap up, and step into 
the mess. I have a loud voice and it can’t get any worse than this. An idea has 
just occurred to me and I decide to hurl it into the cluttered room. “Er, hey.” 
I roar. “Why don’t we open some space?” I’m loud. It goes silent.

This is what I say: “This is crap isn’t it?” Silence. “Can everyone bring their 
chairs and let’s get into a big circle. Tuts, irritation, doubt and mostly 
relief. Two minutes later there’s a big circle.

I introduce open space in about four minutes and quickly crab some flip chart 
paper and tack it to the wall, creating four corners at new breakout spaces.

I ask people to take their chairs with them and, within about ten minutes we 
have a whole bunch of different sessions, many based around action.

The bosses in the room are gobsmacked.

We have a two hour open space until wrap up and there’s a huge buzz in the room 
from this pop-up open space.

The invite was improvised and spontaneous.

The space opened because it wanted and needed to. It popped up and out as if it 
were the most natural thing in the world. It transformed the day and sent the 
clutter fleeing for cover. It was done without fuss and chairs from the main 
circle quickly went into breakout and back again. The facilitator team were 
edgy because they felt they were supposed to be doing something and I dragged 
them away for coffee. We chatted a bit about “emergence” and I was looked on as 
if I’d done some kind of magic. I was young and enjoyed the attention. I was 
also looked as as if I was a bit weird. Well, I am a bit weird. I do wonder if 
pop-up open space could and should happen a lot more.

A lot of open spacers I know loved improvisation and spontaneity, yet when it 
comes to open space are a bit locked in the process in the book of instructions 
– the manual that tends to overplay the “prep” for the event. So, I’m waving a 
flag for pop-up, guerilla open space. Why not open some space even for the 
process of open space? Let’s shimmy it a little and see what falls out.

“Flash mob” open space has, I think, a big future. My intuition tells me a fair 
number of facilitators have done it, and a fair few of them haven’t reported 
it, telling instead there more “responsible” by-the-book open space stories. 
But why not? Why not open some space on the spur of the moment? The invite is 
still there -it just takes a hell of a lot shorter. The opportunity is always 
there where an over-organised event is

Hello everybody :)

I am so happy to be a newcomer in the OS community and I love reading you all! 
It brings a lot of inspiration to me.

Now I am looking for some basic materials so that I will be able to step into 
organizing OS soon. Is there a place where I could find files that some of you 
use to stick principles, law of two feet... with nice butterflies and 
bumblebees... beautifully on walls ? I have a big preference for files that are 
in an editable format so that I could translate them in French.
Thanks for your answers and have a beautiful sunday,

[OSList] Open space at Wolverhampton headstart programme with 150 10 to 14 year olds

[Royle, Karl via OSList]

About Wolverhampton UK Headstart

Overview
Wolverhampton is one of ten partnerships across the UK who have been awarded 
£500,000 by the Big Lottery to run a series of pilot programmes to test new 
ways of working to bring about more co-ordinated services, involving schools, 
youth clubs, GPs and family intervention services, so that more young people 
aged 10-14 can learn how to be more resilient in the face of life’s challenges.

Wolverhampton HeadStart will focus on:


•   A young person’s experiences at school

•   Their ability to access community services

•   Their home life and relationships with their family

•   Their use of digital technology

Digital Technology Strand
The technology strand is intended to provide opportunities for learners to 
collaborate on developing and creating digital content which will focus on 
raising awareness and help for mental well-being and building resilience. 
Learners will be fully involved in the co-production of the projects and 
opportunities will always be sought for the sharing and publication of 
learner-created content.


•   “Open-Space” event for learners to design and prioritise the digital 
programmes to be undertaken in Pilot Phase

•   Training for learners in Project Management to become “owners” of their 
projects in schools

•   Menu of digital learning programmes offered to all schools in the pilot 
phase (priorities to be determined following “open Space”

o   Film-making/animation

o   Podcasting/radio broadcasting project

o   Digital art and graphics

o   Digital music

•   Opportunities to share learner developed content within the community 
and beyond via online public/private communities

•   Individual learner blogs and video diaries

•   Celebration event and/or Film Making Festival


OST event… yesterday at wolves civic centre over 50 great ideas generated


It was a great event...It was for a programme called headstart which is about 
building resilience in kids to deal with life changes and issues. We are 
running the digital learning strand and wanted to get kids to create ideas for 
digital media products to promote the other four strands of the programme. We 
had over 40 great ideas on the day and loads more...we then did some dot voting 
thank you @leancoffee and Jasmina Nikolichttps://www.facebook.com/dzessyfor 
that idea on the final issues and closed the circle. They will then go on to 
produce the ideas working with professionals from music, film, radio, animation 
and game companies. We will also be teaching them some scrum techniques to run 
their projects...Best bit was the teachers freaking out at their lack of control

OST event… yesterday at wolves civic centre over 50 great ideas generated


It was a great event...It was for a programme called headstart which is about 
building resilience in kids to deal with life changes and issues. We are 
running the digital learning strand and wanted to get kids to create ideas for 
digital media products to promote the other four strands of the programme. We 
had over 40 great ideas on the day and loads more...we then did some dot voting

that idea on the final issues and closed the circle. They will then go on to 
produce the ideas working with professionals from music, film, radio, animation 
and game companies. We will also be teaching them some scrum techniques to run 
their projects...Best bit was the teachers freaking out at their lack of control

About Wolverhampton UK Headstart

Overview
Wolverhampton is one of ten partnerships across the UK who have been awarded 
£500,000 by the Big Lottery to run a series of pilot programmes to test new 
ways of working to bring about more co-ordinated services, involving schools, 
youth clubs, GPs and family intervention services, so that more young people 
aged 10-14 can learn how to be more resilient in the face of life’s challenges.

Wolverhampton HeadStart will focus on:


•   A young person’s experiences at school

•   Their ability to access community services

•   Their home life and relationships with their family

•   Their use of digital technology

Digital Technology Strand
The technology strand is intended to provide opportunities for learners to 
collaborate on developing and creating digital content which will focus on 
raising awareness and help for mental well-being and building resilience. 
Learners will be fully involved in the co-production of the projects and 
opportunities will always be sought for the sharing and publication of 
learner-created content.

programmes to be undertaken in Pilot Phase
