Obtaining the best from the stakeholder brains
in your Open Space process requires designing and delivering that process with
those brains in mind. Jim Muckle is professionally certified in Applied
Educational Neuroscience. His training with Harrison Owen (OS founder), and as
a Certified Professional Facilitator, complement his specialization in human
performance.
Jim Muckle’s very brain-friendly and
results-oriented OS projects have ranged from facilitating small groups for
less than a day to leading five facilitators in the design and delivery of a
6-day OS process involving numerous and diverse national stakeholders. Most of
his Open Space work has involved leading teams of 2 to 4 facilitators, using
tailored and sometimes multi-lingual 2 to 3-day processes, to meet the specific
needs of 60 to 150 participants.
