Facilitators Jack Ricchiuto, Adele DiMarco Kious, George Nemeth of Smart Meeting Design opened the forum with a review of what Open Space is all about, the topic Talk2Action was reintroduced and the group talked about the issues and opportunities relative to taking talk to action.
Three issues were volunteered from the large group:
1) How do we get the environmental groups together?
2) How do we regionalize the airports in NEO?
3) How do we include other people in these conversations who are not here today?
Next: The group divided into three smaller groups; 20 minutes of conversation began.
Then: Everyone returned to the opening circle and was asked what stood out for you in the conversation you were involved in? The answers generated the next three topics for conversation.
Next: The group split up into three smaller groups and proceeded as before in a second round of conversation.
Conclusion: The second round of conversation was more targeted and actionable than the first round. Participants said the 1 3/4 hour forum conversation contained alot of movement and the group was able to identify targeted issues for the group.
