What difference could that make? This can be with just one individual, or with the leaders of a certain department for example. To ensure ‘The Open Space’ really works with the organisational dimension, I’ll support you set up a 3 way contract. A three way contract is between Coach, the Coachee (I prefer “thinker”) and a Sponsor, usually the manager of the thinker, senior manager or People /HR team rep. The basics of a three way contract are that the thinker and Sponsor agree the public, business related goals of the coaching, with coach providing support where needed to ensure expectations are aligned and realistic Working together, we’ll build in ways of measuring progress towards the public goal(s), and when/how this will be discussed with the sponsor – this usually includes a wrap up meeting between all parties at the end. Once the coaching starts, the coach and thinker may agree other, broader, private goals, which are confidential just between the two of them. These, true to the open space may be work or life related. In this sense coaching is really a form of learning and reward as the thinker often gets something non work related out of it. During the coaching it’s the coaches role to raise awareness of the greater context the goals are set within, including the sector, organisation and current circumstances - facilitating alignment between individual and organisational goals. *using the term thinker, is based on the work of Nancy Kline (Time to Talk). I prefer this as it better describes where responsibility lies in a coaching relationship. https://www.theopenspacecoach.com/take-action daily 0.75 2025-05-12
