Open Space & Training Needs Analysis

[Harrison Owen]

I don't have a clue what TNA is. Some odd variety of DNA? But I was
absolutely certain that Open Space would fill the bill. Always seems to work
and reminds me of a remark by a Swedish friend who said that he had finally
figured out the essence of OST. "The WD-40* of group work. One shot will
loosen up just about anything." Worked for me.

*WD-40 is a wonderful universal solvent. Every mechanic has some.

Hi Andrew,

I use OST for TNA and have found it to be the only consistently reliable
approach to ensure as many as possible of the requirements, gaps and
constraints are exposed and as many as possible of the stakeholder roles
identified.

 

Furthermore, by using OST for TNA, all those involved take responsibility
from the start of the subsequent phases.

Good afternoon from an icy Glasgow

 

I've been asked to help an organisation evaluate their training / learning
needs for 2011 and beyond.

 

Part of the process will involve running a series of 'focus' groups across
the UK to support and develop initial findings from a training needs
questionnaire.

 

The theme of the 'focus' groups will reflect on the key areas / findings
identified from the survey and to discuss how things can be taken forward.

 

I feel this is an area ripe for 'Open Space' but need to present a strong
case to the organisation.

 

I'd like to ask if anybody has used OS as part of training needs analysis
and how effective the outcomes were.

 

Thank you

 

 

Andrew
