[OSList] Opening Space for Innovation

[D Morgan]

Hi everyone...

My name is David Morgan. I have been practicing Open Space Technology since a year or so before my attendance at the Practice of Peace event on Whidbey Island, Washington, November 2003. I remember the magic of that event, with about 130 people. I met Harrison outside in the rain in his blue jeans, cowboy hat and smoking his pipe. I met some wonderful people that day; Anne Stadler who, it turns out I am related to from way back, Lisa Heft, Gabrielle Shirley, Peggy Holman and many others...

For many years I have run industrial companies. For the past 8-years I have run a product company for a major non-profit, Perkins School for the Blind. I have been blessed to be able to apply the principles of self-organization and Open space to drive innovation and organizational change. We have been changing the face of education for the blind and how children learn braille - developing new product and driving innovation in education and product development.

I am reaching out to this community to solicit stories from Open Space. Stories which reflect the use of Open Space Technology to drive innovation, product development, or organizational change...

Do you have or know of someone who has used open space in facilitate innovation, new product development, or organizational change? If so, I'd love to hear your stories...

Thanks so much. Warmest regards.

David Morgan
