Join us for a special evening of conversation with Harrison Owen, the originator of the Open Space process, and obtain your signed copy of the User’s Guide, Third Edition.

Open Space Technology: A User’s Guide details all the practical considerations necessary to create Open Space. Owen examines what types of situations are appropriate for Open Space and what types are not. He goes on to look at nuts-and-bolts issues such as supplies, logistics, who should be involved, and how to go about getting them there.

This Third Edition adds a survey of the current status of Open Space Technology around the world, an updated section on the latest available technology for report writing (a key aspect of the Open Space process), and an updated list of resources.

Harrison Owen is the winner of the 2008 Sharing the Wealth award from the OD Network. The award honors the memory of Kathie Dannemiller, a major force in the founding of OD Network, and the author of a Berrett-Koehler book, Whole Scale Change. It is given to “an individual whose achievements demonstrate their values, innovation and generosity.”

Thanks to Berrett-Koehler for generously underwriting a portion of this author evening.
