Join into an experiment: Real Time Virtual Collaboration Workshop

[Holger Nauheimer]

Dear community,

 

This is to announce an experiment in virtual collaboration and to ask you to
follow us in a journey through unchartered water. 

 

On May 9, 2009, from 14.00-17.00 GMT, we will host the world's largest Real
Time Virtual Collaboration Workshop. The workshop will be based on the
self-organization principles of Large Systems Change Methods like Bar Camps,
World Café, Open Space Technology, etc. and will be facilitated by applying
different collaboration technologies such as Voice-over-IP, messaging tools,
micro blogs etc. Documentation will most likely be on Twitter but also on
our new change practitioners resource page, the new version of the Change
Management Toolbook. Basically the idea is to meet at a central market place
and then disperse to whatever media you like to use. People can even use
telephones or meet in person, if they want. 

Although we have a certain structure and procedure in mind, this is work in
progress and far from being fully planned. If you have a passion for this
and want to take responsibility, we encourage you to join the steering
group. Just drop me a note in the forum that we have implemented. We don’t
have yet a specific theme in mind (like you need for any large scale
conference) but we will need one and we are sure such a theme will emerge
over the next weeks. Please help us with that as well.

 

If you are not a techie – don’t worry. We will give technical instructions
before and we promise to make it simple, user friendly; and we will also
have a series on Webinars on Web 2.0 media coming up.

In order to see how many people are interested, we would ask you to 

1.      Login to the Change Management Toolbook

life and virtual collaboration. It will be a great learning experience for
all of us.
