[OSList] University training for Open Space Technology?

[Andi Roberts via OSList]

I like Karl's idea of MA in Facilitation, or similar. I think there is
space in the market place for this.I would imagine that OS would play a big
part of this. Alongside there could also be elements of other
OD/Change/Transformation processes such as World Café, Future Search,
Appreciative Enquiry and so on. Visual thinking and Systems thinking would
also, IMHO, be appropriate supporting topics.

Cheers, Andi
