One year after launching OpenSpace-Online / sharing an update

[Gabriela Ender]

Dear Open Space Colleagues,

perhaps some of you remember the announcement regarding the launch of our real-time open space conference software one year ago. Time goes so fast. Today I want share with all of you, who are interested in this development, some updates. 

--> At our first anniversary, a few days ago, we received a wonderful birthday present. We got informed that our company was selected by a jury to be "Gründer-Partner" (Founder-Partner) for PARTNER for BERLIN. During an entrepreneur party at the fair "Deutsche Gründer- und Unternehmertage" (German founders and entrepreneur days) we were welcomed as one of nine new founder partners. The award included a two years free membership in a network of about 120 very big national and international companies, including special kinds of support. Partner for Berlin is working together with the Berliner Senat in a so-called "public private partnership". They are responsible for the Capital Marketing of Berlin. The network-partners are interested in a future-oriented development of Berlin. This organization supports Berlin in the fields of economy, science, culture and sports. Partner for Berlin looked for young companies existing at least for one year. They had to be innovative, technology oriented and already successfully positioned on the market. (See "Photo and more >>>" on our homepage http://www.OpenSpace-Online.com)

--> In the meanwhile hundreds of people participated in OpenSpace-Online Conferences, and our website counter shows 83.000 pageviews
--> Almost 90% of our international customers do not know about OST, but become through the use curious about the roots of OpenSpace-Online / that is for us every time a wonderful effect
--> User groups are e.g. schools, universities, consultants, free lancers, small and large companies and organizations, networks, virtual teams, 
--> The kinds of use are also very different: combination with e-learning courses, as pre-meeting or follow-ups of f2f-conferences, ongoing teamwork, integrated in the intranet (knowledge management work), blended change processes, public online-conferences (national and international)
--> And of course a wide range of goals and issues: to promote integration, motivation, learning, and commitment, to improve internal and external communication, to react to current questions and save travel costs, to establish proactive and participative communication, to improve the goal and results oriented work of teams, to carry out completely new customer commitment measures, to operate multifaceted stakeholder management, to find a good mixture between asynchronous and synchronous on-line collaboration
--> Students of two different universities have to write a semester work in the present, and to make a presentation about OpenSpace-Online,
--> During the last year several people asked us about an open cooperation. Therefore we are in the beginning of creating an international Win-Win-Partner-Program (if you are interested ... please email to ender at OpenSpace-Online.com)

That are some present insights for you. I feel, that this is just a beginning. We are still a very small team, struggeling on one hand with too little resources, but on the other hand we are very happy, that we started this adventure.

Love and Peace from a hot and sunny Berlin!
Gabriela
