Three forms of action planning in Open Space
I was just putting together some materials for an Open Space training workshop I’m doing in Prince Rupert, BC on Friday and I compiled three useful approaches to facilitating action planning in Open Space. The first is my own version of moving to action, the second is Diana Larsen’s approach to prioritizing ideas by impact and energy and the third approach is Jack Martin Leith’s approach to project planning, which he blogged here.
The three are in an easy to download .pdf. Enjoy.
UPDATE: I would be remiss not to point to Lisa Heft’s site, where she dilligently collected dozens of variations on convergence and action planning.
Thanks for creating this very useful document, Chris. I’ve linked to it from http://www.jackmartinleith.com/?page_id=156. I’ll add your approach to that page too. Seems that I’ve credited a synopsis of your method to Michael Herman. I’ll replace that text with yours. Warmest, Jack
Hi Jack…Michael and I co-developed that approach. The version you have on your website is indeed Michael’s, so please keep that credit there.
