In Wiesbaden (or In-House)
Qualfication/Certification:
OpenSpace Beta Practitioner
2 learning-intensive days with the
inventors of the OpenSpace Beta approach
OpenSpace Beta is a robust approach to transformation capable of bringing about decentralization and coherent self-organization in organizations large and small. All that within a very reasonable amount of time. OpenSpace Beta applies the principles of decentralized self-organization and time-boxing to the transformation process itself. This approach works entirely based on voluntariness and invitation. Open-Space Beta is a free-to-use social technology that is published through the CC-BY-SA license from CreativeCommons. The OpenSpace Beta Practitioner qualification aims at preparing participants for the real-world use of OpenSpace Beta in organizations of all kinds.

Character of the workshop sessions
This qualification is based on “iterative-discursive” didactics - in line with the content. The didactics of this workshop consists of three elements:
-
"Lean" conceptual input
-
Deepening exercises in the full group or small groups
-
Discourse on what has been learned
We do not use PowerPoint. This is not a seminar or training - but a real workshop with plenty of interaction! It is possible to dispense with lecturing due to the obligatory preparatory reading.
