‘Open Space’ is a way to enable all kinds of people, in any kind of organisation, to create inspired meetings and events. In an Open Space event or meeting participants create and manage their own agenda of parallel working sessions around a central theme of strategic importance, such as: What is the strategy that all the stakeholders can support and work together to create?

The approach works with any size group from just a few key leaders to large numbers of employees -- working in anything from one-day workshops to multi-day conferences. The result is a powerful, effective connecting and strengthening of what's already happening in the organisation: planning and action, learning and doing, passion and responsibility, participation and performance.

We never know exactly what will happen when we open the space for people to do their most important work, but we can guarantee these results when any group gets into Open Space:

1. All of the issues that are most important to the participants will be raised.

2. All of the issues raised will be addressed by those participants most qualified and capable of getting something done on each of them.

3. All of the most important ideas, discussion, data, recommendations, conclusions, questions for further study, and plans for immediate action will be collated and documented and in the hands of participants when they leave.

4. Recommendations and actions can be focused and prioritised very quickly - in a matter of a few hours (even with very large groups)

Together People can facilitate Open Space events tailored to your requirements which will engage and involve participants and lead to tangible outputs that can make a difference quickly.
