Space Technology" is a meeting approach that enables emergent agenda,
self-organizing work groups and energized dialogue. Developed in the late
eighties by Harrison Owen of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State
w:st="on">Maryland</st1:State></st1:place>, this meeting methodology is now
being used around the world as an effective process for facilitating change in
both organizational and community settings. OST is best used when there is an
important issue to be addressed; there is a diversity of people involved; there
is complexity; and when decisions need to be made
quickly.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

Space Technology meetings are simple to organize, require little lead time, are
effective for any sized group from five to two thousand, are effective for
established groups such as corporations, private sector and public sector
organizations, government and non-government organizations, coalitions, teams or
communities. They enable the building of energy and participation in ways that
few other processes do, while creating the kinds of conditions for interactive
processes that allow leadership to surface naturally.<SPAN

Programs, National Institutes of Health, and Veterans Administration. Along

corporate business model have more in common than you may realize. Jazz uses a
system that enables collaborative improvisation to thrive - the very same skills
that many corporations rely on for success. Gold has been helping others to see
these insights, connecting the worlds of business and jazz. In an environment
where the only constant is change, they have found that the improvisational
techniques of jazz go beyond metaphorical inspiration with techniques that can
have immediate effects for business organizations.<SPAN
