Open Space Operates on Four Principles and One Law
- Whoever comes is the right people.
- Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
- When it starts is the right time.
- When it's over, it's over.
These principles are simple statements of the way things work. While they may appear counter-intuitive to some, they are my observations of what always happens when people interact.
The one law or rule is called The Law of Mobility, also known as The Law of Two Feet. The Law of Two Feet says to stand up for what you believe and if you feel you are neither contributing nor learning where you are, use your two feet and go somewhere else. The law is fundamentally about personal responsibility. It makes it clear that the only person responsible for your experience is you.
