Best in the West 2010 Open Space:
Leveraging the Power of OD in Changing Times

 

[Note: You can go right to the photos of our Open Space conference, or you can scroll through the following, and then proceed to the photos, from further down in this page. You can also go directly to the event's Book of Proceedings.]  

 

Think of This: Participants exploring together what is happening in many important areas of a variety of industries: corporate, not-for-profit, governments, academic, associations, and healthcare. ADD TO THAT—what OD innovative strategies are working and what aren’t? What yet needs to be addressed?


GETTING MORE DIRECT: What can you share and be open to for discovery about your OD work that supports meaningful and sustainable change during these dynamic times?  Got an answer?  

We were asked to explore together, to walk away from this conference with pragmatic answers!

 
 

See the Book of Proceedings to read about our "Open Space" visit, and review participants contributions, questions, suggestions, and ideas for new initiatives.

 

 

Open Space fosters shared visions while empowering participants and self-managed groups. It is best used to seek solutions to common, complex issues. Open Space proved to be a refreshing interactive alternative to the usual one-way conference experience.

 

 

We experienced high-energy sessions with other dedicated, passionate, and creative people. We did gain a sense of understanding and renewal for our passion and dedication to pragmatic change.

 

Led by internationally known facilitator Lisa Heft, we were guided through this unique process used around the world to achieve inspired collaboration among participants. Photos of the day's activities are available for your viewing.
