Open Space Technology Guiding Principles

Whoever comes are the right people

This emphasizes that the group's composition is perfect whatever it is.

Whatever happens is the only thing that could have

This encourages acceptance of the unfolding events.

Whenever it starts is the right time

This counters punctuality norms that can stifle spontaneity.

When it's over, it's over

This principle honors the natural rhythm of discussion.

The Law of Two Feet

If at any time you find yourself in a situation where you are neither learning nor contributing, use your two feet to go somewhere else.
