Virtual real-time collaboration

What tools and principles do we need to help change to unfold around global issues?

OSR has always been on the cutting edge of change management. Lucy Garrick (OSR-12) has joined a group of global change management practitioners who are forging the way. They are developing the first in a series of technical trials using social and technological development as a means for developing better organizations, and a better world.

The first in a series of virtual workshops will be conducted in May using the principles of Open Space as a way to convene and discuss both tools and global issues. More than 60 people from around the world have already signed up to participate. This is an opportunity to learn more about the tools and to network and connect with colleagues on a global scale around issues that interest you.
