Open space
Open space technology continues to be a robust media and metaphor acknowledging the notion that all organizations are self-organizing systems. Whether we’re talking about the scale of personal relationships, teams, organizations, networks, or communities, after all the planning and directing and measuring we do, good things emerge from the freedom people have in their connectivity.
Organizations that understand this spend their time making sure people are liberated and connected enough, formally and — most importantly — informally. They experientially trust in the wisdom of life’s intrinsic nature to self-organize. They look, feel, and work quite differently than their counterpart organizations that haven’t a clue that living systems create organization from freedom in connectivity.
