Share insights and discover how to develop and sustain
..



Å         Organizations of excellence

Å         Organizations that are flexible and successful with change

Å         Organizations with high staff morale

Å         Organizations with high productivity

Å         Organizations with high innovation and creativity for sustained
success



Open Space Technology (OST) helps create organizations that work. Used in
over 80 countries, OST enables all kinds of people, in any kind of
organization, to create inspired events and meetings. Over the last 15
years, it has also become clear that opening space, as an intentional
leadership practice, can create inspired organizations, where ordinary
people work together to create extraordinary results with regularity.



This workshop is about the meetings, the organizations and the possibilities
that are emerging in Open Space, as we push beyond the immediate benefit of
great meetings, toward exploring and creating the conditions we need for
effective self-organization, natural learning, and sustainable high
performance in organizations and communities.



A combination of informal presentation and real open space experiences will
give all participants maximum opportunity to connect the principles and
practices of Open Space to their own unique circumstances and issues. It’s
high learning, high play and high productivity. Come join us!



THE PROGRAM*



Day One

We explore the issues and opportunities for the development of organizations
of excellence focusing on the experience gained during Open Space Technology
meetings.



Day Two

Converging the issues and opportunities uncovered in Open Space to move them
to action. Exploration of the "nuts and bolts" of conducting an Open Space
Technology meeting, drawing from that which we experienced together and that
which we have questions about from previous experiences of facilitating Open
Space Technology meetings or from leading an organization in which Open
Space Technology is used.



Day Three

How organizations say they work and how they really do work. Organizational
style, lifecycle, structure, process. Merging the formal and informal
organizations. Identifying the critical ingredients that we must pay
attention to in the Open Space Organization.



Day Four

De-mything the organization by identifying the "givens" and identifying the
space where there is freedom for creativity, innovation, the full potential
of the workforce released for great success. Developing the organization.
Sustaining a high performing organization.



*This workshop is Session 4 of the Genuine ContactÔ program: Advance Work
with Open Space Technology With focus on the Conscious Open Space
Organization.
