times.

<P><B>Opening to Exciting Possibilities</B> <BR>Open Space Technology is a
powerful approach for engaging people. Open Space can help organizations
transform and become interactive and inspired. With Open Space, you can
practice the values and processes that lead to vital and productive
organizations in our interconnected world.
<P>Innovation is often hampered by control and by structures that inhibit rapid
and unique responses on the ground. OS triggers individual enthusiasm and
responsibility. It draws upon people’s inherent creativity to develop real
practical approaches that maximize communication and synergy. It leads to
strategic thinking and concrete action plans from all levels. The net
result is an organization that is agile, responsive and far more effective.
<P><FONT size=3><B>Part I – Training on the Open Space</B>
<STRONG>Approach</STRONG></FONT><BR>· Experienced Open Space facilitators Diane
Gibeault and Jacqueline Pelletier will lead the French “Introduction to Open
Space” *. Then Diane Gibeault and Larry Peterson will lead the English version*.
They have a combined experience of over 20 such training events. * Harrison Owen
will participate thanks to technological links.
<P>· You will experience an Open Space, learn about the core principles, when to
use it, preparing sponsors, the role of the facilitator, practical issues,
priority setting, action planning and you will have practice in opening space.
<P>· Trainers will provide various facilitation materials including power point
slide sets for communicating this approach to interested parties and bilingual
forms that will assist you in planning for an effective OS process.
<P>A participant’s comment from the last Introductory workshop: "With the
practice, the examples and all the support materials you gave us, I feel my
learning curve for the Open Space approach has been shortened by several years."
<P><FONT size=3><B>Part II: Organizational Transformation:</B> <FONT
size=2>discussions in an Open Space format</FONT><BR></FONT>This two-day
learning journey led by Harrison Owen will be based on his recent book The Power
of Spirit: How Organizations Transform. We will reflect on the transformative
effect of Open Space in organizations and explore the challenges and
opportunities for organizational transformation.
<P><FONT size=3><B>Part III: Leadership:</B> <FONT size=2>discussions in an Open
Space format</FONT></FONT><BR>Our organizations are fast paced and connected.
This interactivity requires us to transcend traditional command and control
leadership approaches. All of us are learning to surf waves of
transformative change. To be effective we have to learn to lead in different
ways. We will explore the challenges and opportunities for enhancing the
qualities of leadership that are required, within others and within ourselves.
We will also reflect on the changes in ongoing leadership after an Open Space
event. The Spirit of Leadership, Owen’s recent book will be a reference
point for this learning event led by Harrison Owen.
