open space technology as an event or as anintervention--learn more with us in our Advancedworkshops

[Doris Gottlieb]

Yes but still many people choose you...and others instead of buying the book
and then doing it themselves or they buy the book and ask you or someone
else to come and facilitate an Open Space "Intervention"/thing/moment/
whatever you want to call it. So I guess there must also be some other value
that they percieve to be there. I wonder if it isn't good also to honor that
as well?  To me this really emphasizes the difference that Birgitt often
talks about which is that there is a difference between Open Space which is
everywhere and Open Space Technology which is a technique/method, thing that
we do with others in organizations, companies or communities.

About the commercialization of Open Space Technology - I have paid to attend
OST meetings, I have paid consultants to conduct them in my organization, I
have paid for training, and I now charge my clients when I conduct OST
meetings. Althought the above may happen for free sometimes, OST has always
been a commercial transaction.

Always did believe that the worker was worthy of his/her hire. Besides it is
nice to eat. At the same time I know that Open Space is free -- nobody owns
it -- we all do. Sometimes with a client I will tell them they have a
choice. Pay a lot of money and I will open the space. Or buy the book, and
do it themselves. So I guess there is always some cost for Open Space, but
24.95 is pretty close to zero.
