Open Space Event Facilitation

High efficiency, high productivity, progressive learning – These are just some of the benefits of Open Space events. Open Space events bring together all kinds of people, from all kinds of organisations and invite them to share ideas and knowledge concerning one main “theme”.

What is an Open Space Event?

In an open space meeting, the participants create their own programme of self-directed sessions or break-away meetings or workshops, related to a central theme. In an Open Space event there is no main agenda, only a theme which the participants will use to create a final agenda. The theme should be one that everyone agrees on and feels passionate about.

Open Space Technology is an uncomplicated way to run productive meetings, with anything from five to a thousand people (or more), and a very effective way to lead any kind of organisation, in everyday practice and through ongoing change.

“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 organisations, where ordinary people work together to create extraordinary results with regularity.”

Why should your company use Open Space technology?

Open Space works at its very best when attendees feel strongly about an issue and want to push for a resolution. It has been called “passion bounded by responsibility”, “the energy of a good coffee break”, “intentional self-organisation”, and “a simple, powerful way to get people and organisations moving -- when and where it's needed most.”

Ideally, you should use Open Space to bring your company together and bring every attendee to a common consensus concerning the theme you are using.
