Open Space Technology
Organizations today need to find solutions to complex problems in a very short period of time. Organizations today do better when they increase their capacity to navigate with change and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. Organizations today do better when they can tap into the wisdom of all of the people involved to find the best solutions.
We invite you to a workshop to learn how to lead meetings that produce the results that you are after. Teams will emerge, communication will improve, and staff morale and staff health will improve. All of this will affect your bottom line. We invite you to learn to facilitate Open Space Technology meetings and to learn to work with this meeting methodology to ensure that maximum benefit comes from the use of this method.
You will leave this experiential, interactive workshop equipped with:
- A practical, holistic meeting process through which you will lead meetings that tap into the potential of the individuals in your organization as well as the potential of the organization.
- A practical, holistic way of leading meetings that are from four hours to several days in length, where the theme is clear but the agenda for the meeting is not determined until the meeting begins.
- A practical, holistic tool for achieving and maintaining long term organizational health.
- A practical means for working with the information, knowledge and wisdom that already exists in your organization.
- Practical and simple frameworks and processes to prepare the organization for an Open Space Technology meeting to ensure that the meeting has the right theme, with the right constraints ("givens"), for the right length of time to ensure the organization is positioned for a highly successful meeting.
- A practical and simple means for a short meeting with the sponsor following the Open Space Technology meeting to ensure that the organization is able to reap maximum benefit from the meeting.
