Hi Brian:
I agree with Harrisonthat Academia tends to avoid the subject of OST. But this
can also be seen asan opportunity for your Institute ;-)
Nevertheless thiscommunity has been able to find some quotable references
(other than Harrison'sbooks and papers). You can see them here: OpenSpaceWorld:

[LisaHeft] for finding most of these research papers focusing on Open Space

In what concernsPortugal, I have only heard of a PhD using OST (or similar)
in a context ofblended learning. At least a paper has been published: Isabel
Pereira, AntonioDias Figueiredo, 2010, Extending open space technology for
blended learning,10th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning
Technologies.
You may find the paperat “academia.edu” searching for the 2nd Author.

Artur

{}#yiv9637677735 Brian... Nice to hear from you. And, as you already know or
will shortly find out, solid research regarding Open Space is in very short
supply. For reasons best known to itself, Academe has assiduously avoided the
subject. With the exception of a few dissertations, all good and useful to be
sure, there has never been (to the best of my knowledge) any serious, peer
reviewed research. Odd, to say the least. I do have my suspicions as to the
rationale, or lack thereof...but it is pretty much virgin territory with lots
of rich findings just waiting for discovery. What Academe has chosen to ignore
has not gone unnoticed, and I don’t think it would be stretching a point to say
that OSLIST, this funny old listserve, is in fact a multiyear research
conference conducted by the folks who know it best – the practitioners of Open
Space from all over the world. It may not observe the standard protocols --
random, double blind studies and such -- but the discussion is rigorous and
quite often heated. Lots to look at. And if you will forgive a personal note,
you might check out my last book, “Wave Rider: Leadership for High Performance
in a Self Organizing World” It struck me some years ago that Open Space sets
itself up very nicely as a Natural Experiment. We have clearly defined
experimental pre-conditions, a standard process, with comparable outcomes. As a
Natural Experiment, the standard controls are largely absent, however in the
way of natural experiments, very large numbers tend to make up for this lack.
In the case of Open Space, there have been roughly 300,000 iterations of the
experiment, conducted in 146 countries over 29 years. The book is essentially
my “Final Report.” The personal biases are obvious, but I think the data is
pretty strong. Enjoy. Harrison Winter Address7808 River Falls DrivePotomac,

Subject: [OSList] Open Spaces research Dear Harrison and other Open Spacers,
I would like introduce myself and make a request regarding research into the
efficacy of Open Spaces. My name is Bryan, and I recently founded the
Co-Creation Institute at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. CCI, as we call
it here, is a space to facilitate personal and organizational transformation,
with a strong base in presence and reflective dialogue. Our objective is to
create new cultures of innovation that combine interactive environments with
co-creative facilitation. I invite you to explore our program, but more
importantly I would like to know more about existing research. Co-Creation and
presence training will benefit from empirical research, and I am now looking
for related research projects to inspect the methodology, issues raised, and
future directions that we may push. Open Spaces integrates many of the
principles that we draw inspiration from, and I am planning on implementing it
as a framework within CCI. While I have read many discussions and the text on
Open spaces, I would like to find out more about how others have conducted
research. If anyone has such information, please contact me any time. Our
program would benefit from your experience.
Kindest Regards,
Bryan Rill, PhD
