[OSList] University training for Open Space Technology?

Thu Aug 25 13:45:12 PDT 2016

About two years into working with Open Space, I reflected on how it had influenced me. In brief, the gifts of Open Space to me were around:

Generosity of spirit 
Focus on essence over form
Seek simplicity
Inclusion/invitation
A sense of abundance
Curiosity about who and what shows up

No doubt I’ve written more about what these notions mean but offer them as one view of what I’ve learned through aspiring to live consciously in a self-organizing world.

My best shot (and probably last) so far is, “Wave Rider: Leadership for High Performance in a Self Organizing World” That would be Berrett- Koehler, 2008..

There is an answer, but not a simple one. Now…. You are pushing this to a whole new level… a whole degree program? You have to be kidding!

> I posted a session in the last NOSONOS in Sweden at Två Skyttlar with the title "10 ECTS" representing some 300 hours worth of training and studies on the topic. 
> 
> An idea was born in the session, and many signed up for it, that we should make a mentor program for the facilitation students in a course where they would do find their own sponsors and a theme, organize with the sponsors to invite to the event and document the proceedings, the student would facilitate the event and later review with the sponsors post-event. Naturally some compensation would be paid by the university to mentor for coaching the student with his first sponsored facilitation event in the program.
> 
> The second idea was to invite other universities in the European Higher Education Area and possibly other places to co-create a full program of one years worth Masters diploma including the global mentor program and the many professional trainings that are happening all over. many universities where named, and it is exiting.
