As part of our commitment to ongoing learning for your leadership development, you are encouraged to participate in this mentoring circle with a focus on Working with Stories for the Benefit of the Organization and Leadership. Join other past workshop participants to explore emerging issues and opportunities for working with this module of the Genuine Contact Program.

Working with Open Space TechnologyFacilitators: Anna Caroline Türk, Doris Gottlieb, and Thomas Herrmann, Doorn, NetherlandsSeptember 6-8, 2022 Open Space Technology (OST) is a meeting methodology that taps into the collective wisdom of the group, team, or organization to address concrete business issues, find answers to complex problems, and nurture leadership in times of change. Using the potential of the whole group, whether 5 or 500+ people (online or in physical meetings) OST has the capacity to bring together (large) groups of people around topics that are deeply important to them and thus prone to misunderstanding. OST has proven long-term effects on problem-solving among groups and improving how people work together. Working repeatedly with Open Space Technology has the capacity to transform organizations. Join us for this special opportunity to follow this workshop in person as offered by Anna Caroline Türk, Doris Gottlieb, and Thomas Herrmann. Highly experienced Open Space practitioners and long-time Genuine Contact Trainers. |
