>   Open Space Technology* is an interactive, participant-driven method for
> convening a meeting, retreat or conference that generates communication,
> collaboration, innovation, and other solutions to challenges and
> transitions. Participants co-create an agenda and lead their own discussion
> and action sessions in a dynamic way that invites interdisciplinary and
> inter-group thinking.  Participants emerge from the process invigorated,
> refreshed, and proud of their individual and collective accomplishments.
>   The use of Open Space Technology has been effective since the mid-1980's
> in a diversity of settings, cultures and countries. The method has been used
> by corporations inviting productivity and teamwork during times of
> organizational change, chemists designing new polymers, tribal and
> governmental leaders planning land use, community advocates and local
> government designing literacy programs, conference organizers holding action
> conferences, architects designing pavilions for the Olympics, Information
> Technology departments doing strategic planning, and neighbors helping each
> other rebuild and heal after times of war.
>
>
>
> One facilitator can use this process to convene groups of 5 to over 2000
> and the dynamics and the results are always the same:  input from
> stakeholders at all levels, new ways of thinking and working, large amounts
> of work done rapidly, bringing perceived competitors together on issues and
> projects, organizational flexibility, interdepartmental or intercommunity
> teamwork, a sense of accomplishment and a feeling of passion and energy for
> the challenges ahead.

> 'what-ifs', 'when not to's', variations and more.
