Re: [OSList] Asynchronous voting

[Thomas Herrmann via OSList]

Thank you Birgitt, thanks all for your input!
It makes much sense to me Birgitt and you point on some key concepts including 
the purpose of the voting - to collect information of where the collective 
energy is strongest at this moment in time. I agree that the instructions are 
important.

I actually invite participants to put their dot either at a whole  report or 
mark a specific aspect in a report. The dot still counts for the report as a 
whole but also gives additional information that can be taken into account.

We had our planning meeting for the OST I mentioned and the group went deep to 
find a powerful theme focusing on their core task re supporting rights for 
minorities all over Sweden.

The OST will last from 11-16.30  (physical) + 9-12 online one week later (using 
Zoom + Miro)  in that online action planning part of the OST I plan to re-open 
space, have two brief sessions for action planning and a closing.

Next steps will be a 1st followup in August and another to trace and reflect on 
impacts, early december.

My two sponsors are taking a deeper OST learning journey with me in combination 
with this assignment. Reading the GC workbook, being part of the whole process 
incl setting the room up (yes I did offer them to facilitate too, but that’ll 
be next step!), meetings for reflecting with me.

Next step may well be to spread OST more to people working in this area in 
Sweden!
Wohoo

Hi Michael and Thomas,
I hope that someone on this list has a good answer for the best software to use 
for the voting process. In the 1990's when I had the opportunity to work with 
Harrison a few times at OST meetings, he taught me about the importance of 
voting as a way to show in priority order what the people at the event felt the 
most energy for from the many topics that had arisen. At the time, even way 
back then, he used a software that was excellent for the purpose. I forget its 
name and don't know if it is still in use. A very important part of this voting 
process lies in the instructions and to this day we still teach the importance 
of these instructions in Working with Open Space Technology (a module of the 
Genuine Contact program). The instruction, as per Harrison, is NOT to say to 
people to vote what they think is important. Instead, the instruction is to say 
to the people to vote based on what they feel energy for. The thinking behind 
this is that if the organization wants to move something forward, it needs to 
work with the flow of what people have energy for, rather than some abstract 
concept of what is perceived as important. In other words, what people have 
energy for is what we want to capture.

In the years since that time, I have used this form of developing collective 
awareness of what there is energy for in the collective, despite the many many 
good ideas that were put forward. I still do this by topic, instead of by every 
action step that has been identified, although some people have expressed a 
desire to be able to vote only on certain actions, and not on the whole topic.

In one important meeting, everyone in the room new that there was one VERY 
IMPORTANT topic to the company. Yet, no one voted for it as they didn't have 
energy for it...they were fatigued by endless discussions about it and had a 
long history of it not moving forward. In the debrief meeting with the sponsors 
after the OST meeting, the sponsors expressed their understanding of the lack 
of energy for the topic, although they found this disappointing. They agreed to 
stay on track with supporting those topics that people had expressed energy for 
and not making a big deal about no votes for their IMPORTANT topic, admitting 
they hadn't voted for it either. When we did a follow up six months later, many 
of the hot energy topics had already been completed. We took another vote for 
energy of the topics that were identified in that initial OST meeting to find 
what they now had energy for. And not so surprisingly, after all the progress 
they had made on other things, the IMPORTANT topic now received many votes as 
the energy of the collective moved toward it.

in genuine contact,
Birgitt

Re: [OSList] Asynchronous voting

[Thomas Herrmann via OSList]

Dear friends in open space
Thanks for your valuable input. I will talk a bit more with my sponsor but I 
think that for this group which is a diverse group of people working with 
similar mission all over the country, the information from a prioritisation 
process may not really add much useful.

We are having a planning meeting on Thursday so there will be more clarity 
about the purpose of the whole event but in my understanding it is about 
networking and increased cooperation but no real common focused action

I do agree with you Koos that there can sometimes leak energy when there is no 
clear purpose for such a process or from poor facilitation.

I like the idea of inviting further discussions during the time between the 
events. I will check if they have any common online space but I don’t think so. 
We’ll make sure they can share contact info during the OST day to facilitate 
connections.

I Will also as clearly as possible explain what’s going to be invited in the 
next gathering.

 I mostly use the ’re-opening’ way too but somehow got this idea this time :). 
Thanks for feedback!

Last weeks I’ve been facilitating a couple of live open-space events. Such a 
great feeling after almost 2 years!
Thanks for always showing up friends!
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

My first sense is that a week of voting is obviously technically possible, but 
it didn't feel useful.  Took me a minute to put my finger on it in a specific 
way.  The purpose of voting is converging again, after diverging in 
discussions.  There are various stories to be told about what might happen in a 
week of voting, what it might feel like, what people might do or not do, or 
experience... but in the end, for me, it comes down to converging.  All at once 
seems to do that best.

I wouldn't offer this decision as a discussion during the program.  I think 
it's part of the container you/we are asked to provide.  Could there be value 
in such a discussion, sure.  Could also be a big distraction and no obvious way 
to settle the question, undermining everything else, needlessly.  And in the 
end, it just doesn't take that long to do it together, all at once.

As Michael suggests, with a group that size it's often possible to go straight 
into what we've previously called "re-opening for action."  It might be worth 
making a space to collect ideas for action in advance of the action meeting -- 
ONLY -- if there is an existing place to post them THAT wants to be established 
or strengthened as the place people will be able to continue posting new ideas 
for discussion and action, in the course of their ongoing work together AND 
if people will be paying attention to that space and be likely to be having 
conversations about it in that interim period.  Absent those learning 
opportunities, there's not value in running a quiet, dark suggestion box sort 
of idea gathering place with little sense of responsibility tied to the ideas 
that might come forth.  Better to have people show up, call out their action 
interests, in person, fully responsible and ready to do their thing.

One important thing, maybe the most important thing re: action planning, is 
what you're already doing... putting the document back to them with the 
shortest possible delay, one day, as you say.  This models what you want them 
to do, to ACT, and gives them maximum time to read and discuss amongst 
themselves, in whatever channels and tools and ways that they already have and 
know well, so that they come to the next session READY to do the next thing, 
together.

I guess that's my final criteria for your voting decision... which way is most 
likely to make the most people feel like they really are doing something new 
and important TOGETHER?

Re: [OSList] Asynchronous voting

[Koos de Heer via OSList]

Hi Thomas!

 

Great question. As Michael en Michael have asked: what is the reason you think 
the voting has added value?  In my experience, voting was merely a distraction, 
sometimes even a big energy leak, so I stopped using it. I always make a big 
effort to get the reports in the hands of the participants as quickly as 
possible, so they have time to go through them if they want. And the next time 
we are meeting again (usually the next morning, sometimes later) we go straight 
into action planning. New blank agenda, but this time the theme is action 
planning.

 

But maybe there is a special reason you want to do the voting. Could you 
explain?

Warmest greetings from a nice and sunny spring day here in Amersfoort,

 

Koos

Dear Thomas,

usually, the folks at the action planning part of an os event will post

They are the champions for acting on the projects that have heart and

Re: [OSList] Asynchronous voting

[CHARLES COLPITTS via OSList]

At the one day session put up a topic on “voting” and let the people who are 
passionate about it convene to figure it out.

[OSList] Asynchronous voting

[Thomas Herrmann via OSList]

Dear friends in Open Space
In one months time I will facilitate a one day OST with about 100 participants. 
Probably reports will be written on flipcharts and the documentation will be 
delivered as a PDF the next day.

One week later we are going to have an online meeting to do action plans. We 
are considering having a voting process in the time between the two events to 
get information on what people feel most engaged to continue working on. Do you 
have any experiences and/or recommendations to share with me?
All the best
