It was produced as an Ebook that people can download for free. Intended primarily for a corporate audience, the book gives examples of actual client situations (from the private and public sectors) where Open Space was used while also providing information on the planning steps and benefits of this powerful technology.</span><br><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The title of the book is :<b>“Changez votre organization avec coeur et élan”</b> which means <b>“Change your organization with heart and vitality”</b>.</span><br><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We invite you to take a look at the book even if you do not read or speak French. </span><br><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>You will recognize many familiar faces from our OS community including Harrison Owen who wrote the preface and a team of 9 authors: Frémy Cesar (Haiti), Catherine Corbaz (Switzerland), Suzanne Daigle (USA), Diane Gibeault (Canada), Théo Groot (Uganda), Christine Koehler (France), DéborahMaarek (Belgium), Catherine Pfaehler (Switzerland), and Artur Silva (Portugal). </span><br><br><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Click this link to register and access:</span></b><a href="http://www.forum-ouvert.fr/" target="_blank"><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";text-decoration:none'> </span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1155CC'>French Book on Open Space</span></a><br><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The fact that Harrison’s Open Space User Guide was not available in French and that there were so few resources and publications in French are what motivated me to start this project.

Our hope is that this book will raise awareness and generate lots of interest in the Francophone community around the world – a precursor to having the User Guide translated also.</span><br><br><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>To launch the publication of this book, we produced a short</span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ForumOuvert" target="_blank"><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";text-decoration:none'> </span><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1155CC'>video</span></a><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> and are planning to promote the book with the following press release.
