THE SESSION: OPENING SPACE FOR INNOVATION
Organizations often get stuck in rut. Open Space Technology is a meeting format for getting 'unstuck' and moving again. Is your organization facing an issue with high potential for conflict? An issue of concern to lots of people? With a time frame for action of "yesterday?". If so, the Open Space meeting format is for you.
Open Space has emerged as THE primary tool for getting your org out of a rut, and getting "from here to there" by leveraging the amazing dynamics of self-organization
Attend this session to learn the basics of arranging an Open Space event, with pointers to books, web pages and courses you can take to go deeper.
You will learn:
-- How to determine if an Open Space event is right for your situation
-- Self-organization: What is it? Why Do I Care? How can your org GET SOME?
