Open Space Technology , now over a quarter of century and 50000 stagings in 99 countries young, was invented by Harrison Owen of Potomac MD in the vicinity of Washington DC, when coordinating one of the most innovative networks ever born - Organisational Transformation facilitators and systemisers
As a transparency mapmaker of networks as well as open space, I take the wider (and deeper!) definition of space, media and mediation : anywhere that people confronted by one challenging invitation come to dialogue through time and to take each other through the conflict barrier out to the other side where they can all collaborate openly around the greatest innovation purpose that links them. I love future history storytelling and anniversaries of humanity's movements including mathematical and future history mapmaking ones my family happens to have played the smallest parts in connecting for about 80 years now. 2006 sees the
30th birthday of our Entrepreneurial Revolutions, launched at The Economist and the village of St James
10th Birthday of chartering culture or brand or any gravitational purpose that people systemically agree to identify productive and demanding relationships around
The halfway point in our 1985 timeline to 2025,when we need to network around 30000 projects sustaining global vilages or expect after 2010 that failure to change economics (of so very 20th century pre-networked matters such as transactions and extyernalities) means globalisation spins viciously out of control not just of women and men, but nations and all the separate organisations that have divided secctor's compound exponentials
BACK TO SPACE
so as well as open space of Harrison, we have cafes, and societal hubs -eg 1; electronically we have blogwalks (eg 1) and jams (3 day attemps from every coordinate in the world to send a postcard one critical problem such as why do slums in cities still get worse) and other as well as change networks like mocrofinace which will last as long as any other type opf finace but always be concerned with the deepest local context around which all value spins transparently. The 21st Century's networks live in real and virtual modes- none more so than Club of City and the 2 million global club of villages 1 2 we will need in the systemic views of such future luminaries as Einstein, Gandhi, Von Neumann, and Schumacher if the 21st Century is not only to be the most wonderful expression of how humanity can serfve each other and invest in future generations, but also sustain life. Networks have always been one of those convergent spaces where everything is newly up for grabs including whether our species gerts to be 22 centuries old.
Largely speaking this weblog calendarises meetings, innovation or conflict gravities, and modes of meeting that give people a chnace as 6 billion beings to colaborate in sustaining the future. This is our second version, the first being a victim of an infamous Google meltdown that impacted 100 of our collaboration weblogs. 2005's entries retrieve in albeit it messy form what we could.
