<br>
The general question asks whether the Open Space is an effective technique to produce sustainable organizational change and if it is superior to other organizational intervention techniques, which are based on smaller groups and a highly structured setting
with a view of the objectives. This question can generally be divided into the following questions:<br>
<br>
• Are individuals able to self-organize when subjected to an unstructured context?<br>
• Open Space Is capable of producing organizational responses that the Organization needs?<br>
• Do organizational change (to have occurred) sustainable over time?<br>
• Do on these indicators than traditional techniques in terms of efficiency and effectiveness?<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Research Objectives<br>
<br>
General Purpose</b><br>
<br>
Evaluate the effectiveness of the technique of Open Space, representing intervention techniques in large groups, to produce an organizational change that accounts for internal and external demands of the Organization.<br>
<br>
<b>Specific Objectives</b><br>
<br>
• Analyze the operation of the Open Space and organizational skill.<br>
• Measure and analyze the impact that technology has on the organization.<br>
• Compare the Open Space with other organizational intervention technique.<br>
• Contribute empirical and theoretical analysis of intervention techniques in large groups.<br>
<br>

Thank you, thank you very much.<br>

It´s weird for me, anyway, to spend a 10:00-16:00 time slot in the preparation,... and it really makes sense, the sponsors and the facilitator start opening space in a calm and passionate way from the preparation meeting!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Eleder,<br>
the core idea of the planning meeting is that its not me as facilitator to do stuff that the sponsor of the event (and his planning group) can do themselves.<br>
So the first step is to find out who the sponsor is. This might sound silly, but in real life it is often surprising that it is not clear at all.<br>
If you find, that you yourself are the sponsor you can stop worrying and find a facilitator for your event.<br>
If you know you are not the sponsor and know who the sponsor is, tell him/her that, after it is clear it is going to be an event using OST (which means the prerequisites are in place, this must not be clear to you but the sponsor needs to find out), that a
planning group needs to gather.<br>
This group should in some way mirror the organisation/community/group that is expected to gather in the open space event. Usually, the planning group consists of 5 to 20 people.<br>
They need to be invited by the sponsor to the planning meeting.<br>
<br>
Ok, here is the design of the planning meeting which takes 3,5 hours either before lunch or later in the morning with lunch as a break or in the afternoon or early evening... preferrably in the space in which the os also is planned<br>
<br>
10:00 Break, Arriving, Coffee …..<br>
<br>
<br>
10:30 Welcome by the sponsor who introduces the facilitator for the following steps<br>
<br>
Introducing ourselves All<br>
Introducing the agenda Facilitator<br>
<br>
10:45 The Day After <br>
What is happening on "Monday, June 17, 2013, the day after the event? Which perspectives do I see now? What has changed?<br>
<br>
The group itself creates a Mindmap with their thoughts/inputs<br>
<br>
11:15 My Theme for the Open Space event<br>
Individually 3 minutes,<br>
All announce their themes 2 minutes,<br>
Work in subgroups 15 minutes<br>
Reporting to the whole group 5 minutes<br>
Weighing the Themes 10 minutes<br>
<br>
<br>
Break beginning at noon<br>
Time for a look at the large meeting room and lunch<br>
<br>
<br>
2:00 Our Theme / provisional<br>
Characteristics of an action-orienting theme….<br>
A small group (3 to 5) of volunteers sit in front of the entire group and designs the theme for the meeting, provide an extra chair for inputs from the large group, fish-bowl style.<br>
<br>
2:45 Who all needs to be at the conference?<br>
So that the expectations expressed for the day after under the chosen theme will actually be met<br>
Brainstorm, identify participants essential for the process<br>
Check the Theme, still ok?<br>
<br>
3:15 Nuts and Bolts<br>
Collect things to do<br>
Who will take care of what?<br>
<br>
3:45 How was it today<br>
<br>
<br>
4:00 End<br>
<br>
This design has been used hundreds of times and works with any group, even teachers, lawyers, scientists and mixtures of them and especially well with children and in neighborhood groups in all cultures around the globe.<br>
<br>
I will seperately send you a pdf documentation with pictures of a planning meeting.<br>
<br>
Greetings from Berlin<br>
