AW: Open Space experience with African countries

[Change Management Toolbook]

Hello Mayke,

I am back from South Africa, where we had a training course on Essential
Consulting Skills, including a half day Open Space introduction (with three
times slots of 45 minutes each). It worked extremely well and participants
who came from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Uganda and Kenya liked the approach
very much. No specific recommendations at all. I am sure you will have
success and I am looking forward to reading your story in some weeks from
now.

Good luck and trust the force!

Betreff: Open Space experience with African countries

Hello from springtime Germany,

I have my first Open Space Conference coming up in April and Lisa encouraged
me to make use of the expertise and experience of all of you!
The Open Space will take place in Nairobi, Kenya and we will have
participants from Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Sounth
Africa. The topic will be "Towards Sustainability of Healthcare Technology
Systems" with participants being stakeholders, decision makers, and
maintenance staff from all levels (national, regional, district, facility)
of the healthcare technology system.
My question is whether - from your experience - there are certain cultural
aspects I need to consider. Do you have any experience with /
recommendations for this group of participants?

Looking forward to your ideas and stories,

Mayke
