Possible discussions A real organisational issue you want to work A question you have A topic to discuss A coaching session with… A consulting experiment with… and anything else you want

The four rules of Open Space Whoever shows up are the right people Whenever it starts is the right time Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened When it’s over, it’s over

The law of Two Feet

Butterflies and bumble bees “Butterflying” – moving from one session to another, cross pollinating “Bumble-beeing” – doing something else, hanging out drinking coffee, talking to passers-by etc You choose how to make your most useful contribution at each moment

To convene a discussion Write your topic on a piece of paper Pick a ‘time and place’ Post-it from the grid Come up and announce your name, session topic, time and place Stick up the paper on the Open Space wall so we can all see it

Let’s go!
