Re: 5 Hour OS

Doug: I am next door to you in Peoria, Illinois, so I thought I'd respond. I would be very careful in mixing other things into open space, or in trying to fit open space into other space. At minimum, I would suggest trying to get a four hour block to do open space, but I would make sure people

5 Hour OS

Dave Koehler-- Thank you for your response. I have come to much the same conclusion, and so have arranged for the speaker to now be one of the OS sessions. We'll see how that goes. This stuff is exciting, yes? :-Doug.

Re: 5 Hour OS

Now, whow, how do you like this for German precision! Congratulations, Jo. I like the part with the gallery you organized. But come to think of it, I would really have expected you to produce that report between 5pm and 5:05pm!! I had the opportunity to facilitate os-events of 3hrs, 3,5hrs,4hrs,

5 hour OS

Hi-- Wanted to report back: The speaker issue seems to be resolved: The speaker is willing to have his session as one of the OS sessions, and do it not as lecture, but as sitting down with the circle in his group. He will be with us all day, so it all seems to fit. Lunch can be done as a box

Re: 5 Hour OS

Doug, Some folk have already given you a few good suggestions re the format for the day and I doubt I can add to that. My thoughts are about lunch. If this is possible, we had an open space day where lunch was able to be taken from a central serving point to anyplace else..it was a light lunch

5 Hour OS

Murray-- Thanks. I am glad for suggestions beyond schedule. I will be talking with the hotel people today about the lunch arrangements and will see what can be done to implement what you suggest. As to the speaker, what if we had the participants decide when he should go on? Would they have

5 hour OS

Doug, Thanks for your posting and welcome to the list. Open Space sounds perfect for what you want to achieve. I’ve set out a ‘straw man’ timetable (see below), which takes 4 hours 30 minutes to complete. The additional 30 minutes could be slack to allow for overruns, or you could have a longer

5 Hour OS

Hi-- This is my first post to this list. Can someone help me with my first attempt at something like OS? A state-wide group of professionals is getting together in two weeks to talk about things which relate to our profession. It is being advertised as anything you want to know to improve your
