Whoever comes is the right people. 2. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have. 3. Whenever it starts is the right time. 4. When it's over, it's over. ~ The one law ~ The law of two feet ~ Additional Sign ~ Be prepared to be surprised Find a theme of OST (often in the form of a question) Create a schedule ______| TIME | TIME |...| PLACE|.........................

Create the community bulletin board 6. Open the Village Marketplace 7. Get out of the way "Open Space Technology runs on passion bounded by responsibility." "Take a piece of paper, inscribe the title, sign your name and announce your offering to the group: " "The fundamental job of a facilitator is to honor (hold) the space for the people. This means that nobody can, or should, be forced to engage in any activity for which they are not ready and willing." "Trust the people."

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-30 00:00:00 Suzanne Jubin I read this for work! We have been doing Open Space Discussions at our conference for 3 years and started at our company meeting last year, and I was happy to take the time to read the book from the guy who started it all. We are already doing this system pretty well - we mostly do things as in the book, with some upgrades and higher tech online schedule. But there are a few bits we don't currently do and I look forward to chatting with my colleagues about if we've considered them. Having experienced Open Space ~4 times with groups from 200 to 1000+, I can confirm it works well! I love Owen's emphasis on passion + responsibility. So key! We regularly heard on conference evaluations that people were disappointed there had been no time at our conference for X topic. Now with open space, everyone has a chance to put their own topics on the agenda, and if they don't, it's no one's fault but their own. That's similar to how he phrases it in the book, and sounds kind of harsh, but is a great way to flip the traditional responsibility model and have all attendees take part in constructing the final agenda. Harrison Owen being pretty old and having started designing OST in the 1980s, a couple things in here are amusingly anachronistic - most notably his mistrust of laptops!, but also no details about putting the schedule online, sharing proceedings electronically, tons of detail about un-networked newsroom computers, etc. I'm not sure about newer sources for modern OST principles, but also I think we're already doing a pretty good job at my company. Worth the read. But I do think reading the book is a tough substitute for actually experiencing an Open Space event, and would encourage anyone interested in the format to seek out a live opportunity, possibly even before reading the book. The book makes a lot more sense if you've seen it in person!
