Know what size meeting space is needed.
This venture is not intended to compete with existing green builders, but to
provide a source from which goods could be obtained to accomplish their/our
mission; you could call this an "environmental home center". We (green
builders et al) are on the edge of the next shift in the market. If we come
together we could really make a difference in the way things are done and
make green building the standard!
Open Space Technology
Open Space Technology is a method for organising a self-managed meeting where
participants create their own programme of work sessions. In these
simultaneous sessions people discuss their concerns, explore issues and
opportunities and find new ways forward.
An Open Space event brings people to contribute their views, share their
ideas and develop plans for creative and collaborative action. Every issue of
concern to any participant is raised, as long as the person concerned takes
responsibility for raising it. The output of an Open Space event is a set of
written reports, one for each session, usually with action points.
