OpenSpace-Online®
Our fabulous Open Space colleague Gabriela Ender and her team developed an internet-based meeting methodology that gives a real Open Space experience in a virtual environment. Many of her fellow Open Space facilitators have helped field test this lovely tool.
In September 2008 we will meet in cyberspace for the World Open Space Online on Open Space—WOSOonOS 2008.
Excerpted from the OpenSpace-Online® site:
Change Facilitator Gabriela Ender and her team from Germany developed the internet real-time methodology OpenSpace-Online®, which especially promotes autonomous, responsible, respectful, and results-oriented collaboration, thereby helping to overcome the limitations of time and space, as well as saving lots of travel costs. The easy to use system helps sponsors to quickly organize OpenSpace-Online® meetings for small and large groups. The virtual-led procedure of this "Do-it-Yourself" real-time meeting method makes it possible for participants to work together WITHOUT "human" online moderators in a highly productive liberated and joyful manner. This worldwide unique methodology is setting new innovation standards for global e-collaboration by enabling unique, holistic and highly participative architectures to link multifaceted ways of face-to-face and on-line activities in business, community, education, health-care, social and governmental settings.
