Dear Lisa:

If the dream of Berlin was possible why not San Francisco?

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,

 

Lisa
