Open Space in action

20 September 2009 0 By Viv McWaters

For the past four years or so Fr Brian Bainbridge has been using the principles of Open Space Technology, and the process of OST, to transform the suburban parish where he is the Parish Priest.

This is a remarkable story of transformation within one of the most bureaucratic and hierarchical of establishments – the Catholic Church. Lucky for us, Brian has recorded the story and published an e-book. Even if you are not about to take on the Catholic Church or don’t have a parish to administer, you will learn much about how Open Space Technology can tap into the self-organisation that is inherent in any group, club, community or organisation.

The book reveals how Open Space is so much more than a simple meeting process.
