August, in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:place></st1:City>.
I invite you to join me for this learning experience and thanks in

face-to-face over a good beverage with your friends, clients and colleagues. I
look forward to seeing some of you there - Lisa</span></font></span><font

to 2000+person conferences, in Mozambique, Spain, Thailand and other countries,
for tasks including birthing a global network to save the oceans, figuring out
how to spend a billion dollars of HIV funding, giving teen parents a voice in policy,
a global Information Technology department engaging in strategic planning, and
an international conference of doctors, nurses and other health advocates
sharing best practices, challenges and solutions for saving lives. Open
Space invites productive, interactive, interdisciplinary and inter-cultural
thinking, idea generation, resource-sharing, a sense of community, and renewed
energy for the work ahead...)</span></font></i><font size=1 face="Trebuchet MS"><span

8.5pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS"'>Open Space is a dialogic method where one
facilitator can convene from ten to 2000+ participants for dynamic,
participant-driven dialogue. OS can be used for bringing together an
entire company to highlight emergent issues and opportunities before strategic
planning, generating ideas for product or program design, sharing resources and
best practices, understanding each other across cultures, sharing knowledge
across disciplines, conflict transformation, exchanging thought and experience
about complex situations and engaging groups from small to large in seeing a
full-systems perspective for their opportunities or issues. The
facilitator's role in OS is very different than for other dialogic methods -
participants facilitate their own discussions, documentation and noting of
linkages and common threads.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
