The handbook
"Organizational transformation is difficult," they say. "It must be so hard." "It takes a long, long time - and maybe it will never happen!"
No more! In 2018, profound organizational transformation got a lot less complicated! The OpenSpace Beta handbook, authored by Silke and Niels, is for anyone who is interested in creating rapid and lasting Beta transformation.
