Open Space

What is Open Space?

Open Space is a simple way to run productive meetings from 5 to 2000 or more people, and a powerful way to lead any kind of organization in everyday practice or extraordinary change. In Open Space sessions, participants create and manage their own agenda of parallel working sessions around a central theme of strategic importance.

How does Open Space work?

• Participants bring their most important issues and challenges
• An agenda is created from the participants' topic discussion ideas
• Participants split into groups according to their topics of interest
• Participants share and create new knowledge, work together on finding solutions to their common challenges and connect with each other
