COLLABORATION WITH OPEN SPACE TECHNOLOGY

Two or more teams need to work together more effectively, or simply because silos have formed. Open Space creates the conditions for honest dialogue about what's working, what's not, and what needs to change in service of their customers and community.

 

Client examples:

1. Collaboration to improve customer value (Regional bank)
Dialogue between two departments (Treasury Operations and Treasury IT) to identify how they could better deliver value to their internal customer - Group Treasury.

 

2. Collaboration for community impact (Education institution)

Bilingual Open Space Technology workshop that brought together all employees to explore how they could create meaningful impact in their community.

 

Open Space Technology

Open Space Technology is a facilitation method that puts your people at the centre of the conversation. Instead of a fixed agenda, participants create the topics themselves based on what matters most to them. People self-organise into discussion groups, move freely between conversations, and take responsibility for the outcomes they care about.

 

This method works because it trusts your people to know what needs attention. The structure is simple: a central theme, a marketplace of ideas, and a few guiding principles that encourage participation and ownership. What emerges is often surprising - conversations that leadership may not have anticipated, but that reveal what is truly on people's minds.

 

Best for: Large groups facing complex challenges where no single person holds the answer.

 

What you can expect: High energy, honest dialogue, and actionable ideas that come from the people who will implement them. Participants leave feeling heard and invested in the outcomes, which makes follow-through far more likely.
