Open Space Technology - Winning
Stakeholders' Hearts and Minds Training for Large Group Facilitators +b
March 29-
Posted by: Holger Nauheimer h.nauheimer@snafu.de
Organisations,
communities, whole countries and the entire world today are changing at
breathtaking speed. New ways of co-operation and collaboration in this rapidly
changing environment are urgently needed. Navigating this complex situation
requires new strategies and technologies to explore opportunities, design and
redesign work practices, recognise the potential in new possibilities...and to
do all of these effectively and quickly, involving players from all levels of
the organisation or the community. Open Space Technology is a workshop approach
that supports systems of all sizes in navigating and adapting to the major
changes we all experience. Since this unique and radical workshop technique was
discovered 20 years ago, it was successfully applied by thousands of
communities and non-profit organizations, as well as by private companies.
The
authors of the Change Management Toolbook offer a training course in which you
will learn how to facilitate such an exciting Open Space workshop. More
information can be found under:
http://www.change-management-toolbook.com/training_2003dj.html
