The proverbial cat

Since the cat is out of the bag on Michael Herman's site, I thought I'd let it out a bit further. Jack and I are going to be doing an OST workshop with Michael and Chris Corrigan here sometime in May. A little about OST:

OpenSpaceTech is a leading edge community and organization development practice. It invites people working on complex and important issues to connect and deepen their work, through responsible self-organization. Open Space is more than just a phenomenal meeting process. It forms the basis of a new and powerful way of working and being in organizations and communities. It honors and invites contributions from all levels and groups. It leverages inherent expertise and knowledge to create new options, possibilities and progress. It gets people and information moving in powerful new directions -- and gets our most important work done.

For twenty years and counting, Open Space has been used around the world by ordinary people dealing with extraordinarily important, complex, conflicted and/or urgent issues:

Catalyzing broad-based collaboration to respond to changes, issues or environments that simply were not "in the plan"
Creating new products, new projects and new forums for involving customers, suppliers and strategic partners in the operation of a business
Re-structuring and the creation of truly team-based collaborative systems that meet major organizational challenges
Community planning and visioning that engages citizens and stakeholders in active, inclusive and productive public process
Facilitating dialogue, planning and the possibility for peace between people in deep conflict
