Invitation to OT23 – Welcoming Spirit
Received my invitation today for the 23rd International Symposium on Organizational Transformation (OT23). This year, friends Susan Kerr and Sheila Isakson among other are hosting the gathering in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. This year’s theme is “Welcoming Spirit”:
We invite conversations at all levels of experience from persons who have heard about Open Space but not had an opportunity to participate to persons who have been practicing Open Space since Harrison Owen introduced it in the early 1980�s. These meetings are designed to be flexible and are intended for anyone who wishes to begin or continue learning about the practice of Open Space, which is an essential part of any transformation. Please note that this is not a training event. You will be responsible for your own learning and many opportunities will be provided for you to �Welcome Spirit� and to co-create events within this theme. During our days together, raise questions about our theme: What does �Welcoming Spirit� mean to you? Or raise questions about how Open Space is used to improve meetings, identify issues or opportunities for implementing Open Space to co-create new ways to be in organizations, or share your stories and insights about your own life and work experiences.
If you want to go, email Sheila at isakson@juno.com.
