Hello Open Space Community!<br>
<br>
Will you help me with some learning resource recommendations for
those either new to, or already practicing Open Space? This is to
help update some of the book resources we have right now on
various Open Space websites.<br>
<br>
<br>
1) What books/videos/etc. do you know of that reference or teach
about Open Space heavily.<br>
<br>
2) What books/videos/etc. that don't reference Open Space directly
- but never-the-less - have been valuable assets in your Open
Space Practice.<br>
<br>
3) Optional - a sentence or so about each recommendation?<br>
<br>
4) Are you willing to have your words in item 3 listed on an Open
Space website - either anonymously, or with your name and a like
to a personal website?<br>
<br>
<br>
This seems like a useful conversation to have on a regular basis -
and I'm looking forward to learning about books, CD's, etc. that
would be good to have on my reading list. It's also likely your
recommendations will go on the Open Space Institute's U.S.
website. In the future - hopefully we can turn this into an easy
wiki-like system anyone can add to - so it can be a living
breathing resource. But for now, we can kick it off with a manual
update.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Harold<br>
