MeshAction - Michael Herman

Michael Herman is an internationally recognized practitioner and teacher of Open Space Technology, a simple, powerful approach for bringing people together and getting important work done faster than you'd expect.

Michael is the founding webmaster for OpenSpaceWorld.ORG, which now offers an introduction to Open Space in 18 languages, in addition to offering his own resources archive at GlobalChicago.NET/ost. He has taught Open Space on four continents and is known for his practical views on the process of invitation, the movement of self-organizing markets, and the personal passion bounded by responsibility. He leads meetings and conference events and helps organizations integrate the simple power of OST into everyday business activity.

He will be Opening a Space at MeshForum, MeshAction, on May 4th as a grand and active finale to the MeshForum conference. In the course of the conference, participants from all over will meet a wide diversity of people and explore all dimensions of network life. In the Space that Michael Opens on the 4th, participants will take stock of all the learning and connecting that's gone on, identify key people to work with, begin or continue important projects, and
anything else that is needed to fully integrate conference learning into post-conference activity. The day will include a mini-workshop time for learning about how to facilitate Open Space.
