Ever heard of it? No? Try here for an explanation from a Canadian OST guy… 🙂

Basically it’s a way of making meetings happen so that they deliver what the people in the room need – not necessarily what the agenda says they want… and it’s a new string to our bow. New member Lydia Bates (okay, bios to follow, we promise!) joined with Northumbria University to run a whopper of an open space session just last Friday.

The image, by the way, is one of the sessions after lunch (and thanks to everyone for permission to use it!).

How did it go?

“Gosh, it wasn’t what we expected… but it was exactly what we needed.” Personally, I’ll settle for that! 🙂
