Dear Frank,
Just a quick reply before I head out the door....
Yes, there is a web page, and it would be a great
place to start in answering several of your questions
(re: tools, theory, books, etc.):
http://www.tmn.com/openspace/index.html
Open Space is a highly practical approach for
encouraging common ground and shared values to emerge
from within a group.....However, if values and goals
are being mandated from the top down, then Open Space
is not the tool to use....
I'm sure there is a lot more that can be said
by others in this group in response to your query,
Frank, but I thought this would at least get you started......
How did you find out about Open Space?
