Open Space Techonology 開放空間會議


What is it?
Open Space Technology is one way to enable all kinds of people, in any kind of organization, to create inspired meetings and events. Over the last 20 years, it has also become clear that opening space, as an intentional leadership practice, can create inspired organizations, where ordinary people work together to create extraordinary results with regularity.

In Open Space meetings, events and organizations, participants create and manage their own agenda of parallel working sessions around a central theme of strategic importance, such as: what are the issues and opportunities for expanding the scope of this organisation over the next twelve months?

With groups of 5 to 2000 — working in one-day workshops, three-day conferences, or the regular weekly staff meeting — the common result is a powerful, effective, connecting and strengthening of what's already happening in the organization: planning and action, learning and doing, passion and responsibility, participation and performance. The results are always remarkable.
