Hello, my dear OSLIST colleagues - and thank you in advance for
sharing the word about these upcoming workshops with anyone you feel
may be interested - through email, tweets, other social networks, or
face-to-face over a good beverage with your friends, clients and
colleagues. Do join me if you are able to - it is always wonderful to
share our diverse learning in a workshop such as this for people of
all levels of experience. This text below includes a general
description for those of your colleagues who may not yet have heard

your work be rich with learning and discovery... - Lisa

Open Space is a dialogic method where one facilitator can convene from
ten to 2000+ participants for dynamic, participant-driven dialogue.
OS can be used for bringing together an entire company to highlight
emergent issues and opportunities before strategic planning,
generating ideas for product or program design, sharing resources and
best practices, understanding each other across cultures, sharing
knowledge across disciplines, conflict transformation, exchanging
thought and experience about complex situations, and engaging groups
from small to large in seeing a full-systems perspective for their
opportunities or issues. The facilitator's role in OS is very
different than for other dialogic methods - participants facilitate
their own discussions, documentation and noting of linkages and common
threads.
You may have heard of Open Space or participated in something called
Open Space or 'an unconference' and wondered why it did not work - or
whether it was really this complete and effective form.
Or you may have experienced something that sparked your interest as
you watched a group self-organize in a highly productive process - and
wondered if it was Open Space.
Join me for 2.5 days of mutual exploration as we share learning in and
about Open Space. Together you will discuss and create a theme for an
Open Space meeting, explore issues and opportunities in your own work
with groups, experience an Open Space, and really delve into all those
elements of pre-work that are essential to the success of an Open
Space event.
Everything from developing a theme to exploring invitation and
outreach, design, planning, materials, variations, adaptations for
cultural differences (for example in a non-readers environment or in a
situation with power dynamics), how the site, food and other elements
impact or enhance an Open Space event, how to include action planning
if needed, 'what-ifs', 'when not to's', documentation, ideas for the
sustainability of ideas, relationships and actions post-event, and more.
Pricing - as always - is flexible - custom tailored to what you as an
individual can contribute and afford.

I look forward to learning with and from you,
