Healthy Workplaces In Action Continuing the Conversation! Join Us For An OpenSpace-OnlineO Conference "Sharing Our Learning and Co-creating Our Future" Monday, January 12, 2004 12:00h- 15:30h Eastern Time At the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario international conference in November 2003, Judith Richardson and Michelle Cooper offered a presentation on the path to organizational health and balance. Participants were interested in brainstorming, masterminding, and realigning their energy for reawakening healthy workplaces. Michelle and Judith are hosting a continuation of that conversation using OpenSpace-OnlineR to provide a dedicated time to share our learning and co-create healthy workplaces. The purpose of the conference is to provide a time to "dialogue" in real time about the issues and opportunities for co-creating healthy workplaces and lives that work powerfully and effectively within them. We expect that this will help us to evolve our understanding, share what is working, and discover new tools and ideas, to learn from each other and to build our global community more effectively. All those interested in creating healthy workplaces in health care are invited to participate. Every person who has a stable Internet connection and access to the worldwide web can join us. About the Conference OpenSpace-OnlineR is a real time Internet conferencing program that is based on the principles of Open Space Technology. The participants will create the agenda for the conference. Any issue that is important to participants can become part of the agenda. The persons posting the topic are responsible to start the "dialogue" and to ensure notes are summarized at the end of the discussion. Once the agenda is created, discussion topics are assigned to different "rooms" within the conference, creating multiple concurrent sessions. A virtual facilitator guides you through the conference. You are able to move in and out of the discussions happening in each "room", or meet in the "Cafe" for a discussion about other topics. All participants can receive a complete report of all of the discussions at the end of the meeting in HTML format with a push of a button. It mimics the spirit and power of an Open Space Technology meeting like no other software that exists to date. It is very easy to download the software and to sign on. The information will be used to support professional development in health care. Stories, opinions and ideas may also be used to assist us with our research. Registration Information: E-mail Michelle Cooper at [email protected] or Judith Richardson [email protected] to register. You will receive instructions for participation and a password to download and sign on to the OpenSpace-Online software once your registration is confirmed with payment. We ask that you register no later than Friday, January 9 , 2004. It is recommended that you download the software and current JAVA (if you do not have it) a couple of days before the conference and test the link. Free downloads are available on the OpenSpace-OnlineR website. This takes a very short time, but allows for troubleshooting should anything go wrong. If you are accessing the internet through a firewall in an organization, you may need help from Information Technology Support to open a port to access the conference.
