Summary/Overview:

This book is a comprehensive guide to 'Open Space Technology' (a participatory workshop method), written by its originator, Harrison Owen. It is designed to be read by anybody who wishes to use the Open Space discussion technique, and is a simply written, clear book which can be easily digested and understood. The informal tone makes what is a long and detailed text an easy, approachable read, although the advice is a little vague at times.
