Resolving complex issues fast...

Do you have the "space" to be open?

Imagine a lecture-free conference. No fixed agenda. Your people are gathered, waiting. How will this event "happen"? Are you open to this?

Imagine a collaborative process that creates the environment, the space to launch people into creative action, transform them into willing, excited participants in making change. The space where passion and responsibility fuel the change. Are you open to this?

Let Intentional Development open the space for you.

What Open Space is

Open Space is the innovative process to facilitate a meeting or conference whereby the meeting is "handed over" to the participants. It was established by Harrison Owen in 1985. It is fast, economical, and easily repeatable for conducting meetings between 5 and 500 people. Features a simplicity of structure, provides movement, fluidity, flexibility, and opens the necessary space for sharing ideas and reaching solutions. It is the most amazingly result-oriented process.

What Open Space does

The participants create the agenda and take responsibility for convening and documenting discussion sessions. It enables people to bring up, address, and deal with complex issues in a short time. This process enables nothing less than astounding breakthroughs. Imagine a group of 50 people, your people, self-organizing a full-day conference in one hour, convening the various sessions they determine throughout the day, and ending the meeting with a multi-page document of the day’s proceedings. Imagine the energy, the dialogues, the camaraderie and sense of purpose, the synergy in working together to create a vision for their future.
