Profile Information

How did you first learn about OST?
I read Harrison Owens book and used the technique with a group of volunteers. The theory was exciting, but the results were even better and now I´m hungry to work with more diverse groups and develop my understand of the subtleties, to support a happier society.
What surprised you the most about this method?
The most exciting part for me was that everybodies input was equally valid, and each person had the same opportunities to engage. The ´managers´or other traditionally powerful people also had the chance to ´take off their hat´.
How does Open Space fit into what you do with organizations and / or communities?
There is a thriving charity sector in Bristol, many community groups who are trying to move forward in their delivery. I´d like to work with them. However, I would also like to see how this technique affects different groups, in public services and in the private sectors.
more about you
I´m interested in how people interact with each other and with the environment. I´m interested to explore ways of interacting that feel more healthy, more fulfilling. I am very keen to work with diverse groups using Open Space Technology and Forum Theatre.

Welcome, Dominic - to the Open Space world community space! We look forward to learning with and from you. If you want to learn more in a workshop setting - there will be an Open Space Learning Workshop in London this October 9-11. Feel free to contact me directly at lisaheft [at] openingspace [dot] net for more information about content and to ask any questions you may have.

There is another conversation you might want to be part of - OSLIST - it is a worldwide listserv conversation - like sitting in the big circle as folks share their thoughts. Harrison is there, as are other folks with diverse experiences and many lessons-learned about the use of this tool (process, method) in different cultures, for task work, strategic plans, articulating grief and loss - many uses. In government organizations, faith communities, NGOs, corporate, many settings. Like a big ongoing (many years) learning community specific to Open Space work. I will see you there - and perhaps in-person in London too? (I am giving the October workshop)....
