April 30, 2004 By Chris Uncategorized

In Open Space Technology meetings, action plans begin with baby steps. In the action planning phase of an Open Space event, I ask participants to identify key projects that need to be started or ideas that need to be moved forward. In order to focus small, self-organized workteams, I distribute a small form that helps to capture immediate next steps.

As a result, I am always looking for questions to focus planning groups on concrete collaboration. I found a few today at Reforming Project Management Theory and Practice:

1. Who could help me with this?
2. What do I have to offer others?
3. What new ways can we meet on a regular basis?
4. How can we stay in tune with each others’ changing project work?
5. What can you do to be more responsive to each other?

Very useful, combined with a question that asks the group to identify a time and place to meet again.
