Inspiring forms of communication

Open Space Workshops are a lively refuge where people are invited in a safe setting to share ideas, opinions, talents, views and experiences. This leads to inspiring forms of communication in which the enthusiasm, talent, know-how, perception and insight of all participants are the ingredients of personal commitment toward reaching a higher level collectively.

Open Space Workshops are based on the principle of Open Space Technology, in which optimal participation and commitment of the participants are achieved by constantly giving them ample time and space to immerse and express themselves in a series of creative workshops. A transparently structured narrative with recognizable elements and challenging assignments enhances the quality of the results. To this end, the Corporate Identity or Mission Statement of the organisation concerned are frequently quoted in the introductory texts to each item, but with tongue in cheek.

This does not include dull speeches, or formal discussion groups on predetermined subjects, or questions at the end of the meeting, or obligatory preparations. During Open Space Workshops, all time and energy are used to create an optimal atmosphere in which the participants are given all the space they need to rediscover themselves and others in an informal situation.
