Originally designed to enable more effective and productive meetings, Open Space Technology turned out to be much more. The total simplicity of the approach (sit in a circle, create a bulletin board, open a marketplace, and go to work) contrasts radically with the quality of results and speed of achievement. What is going on here? Why does it work?
“My best guess” writes Harrison in the preface to this book, “is that the “it” is the primal power of self-organization, and if so the real significance of Open Space has little to do with better meetings, and everything to do with a deepening understanding of who we really are and how we might most effectively get on in the world.”
In addition to expanding on the preconditions for a successful Open Space event, the User’s Guide covers all the practical nuts and bolts on planning and running an Open Space event… it works every time.
