Technology (OST) helps create organizations that work. Used in over 60
countries, OST enables all kinds of people, in any kind of organization, to
create inspired events and meetings. Over the last 15 years, it has also become
clear that opening space, as an intentional leadership practice, can create
inspired organizations, where ordinary people work together to create
extraordinary results with regularity. This workshop is about the meetings, the
organizations and the possibilities that are emerging in Open Space, as we push
beyond the immediate benefit of great meetings, toward exploring and creating
the conditions we need for effective self-organization, natural learning, and
sustainable high performance in organizations and communities.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt">A combination of
informal presentation and real open space experiences will give all participants
maximum opportunity to connect the principles and practices of Open Space to
their own unique circumstances and issues. It’s high learning, high play and
high productivity. Come join us!</SPAN></DIV>
