So you may call me ‘doctor Tonnie’ now :). The Open Space world community contributed substantially to this research, I want to thank everyone who shared experiences and ideas with me, on this list, in the WOS on OS in Berlin, or otherwise. All findings are wrapped up in a book with the title ‘_Building an evidence based practical guide to Large Scale Interventions. Towards sustainable organisational change with the whole system’_. It is published by Eburon Academic Publishers and available as paperback and as eBook (only $ 13.79) onamazon.com <http://www.amazon.com/Building-evidence-based-practical-Interventions/dp/9059725034/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1306913486&sr=8-3>and eburon.nl <http://www.eburon.nl/building_an_evidence_based_practical_guide_to_large_scale_interventions_ebook?language_code=en>. The book offers a practical guide with guidelines for effective use of LSI to assess conditions before the process, enhance performance during the process, and an evaluation instrument to evaluate effectiveness after the process. The first parts of the book tell the story of my inquiry in the practice of LSI worldwide, including Open Space Technology practice, resulting in an overview of ‘What is LSI?’, which might be a handy chapter for students or starting facilitators. I hope to develop the practical guide in more popular versions for divers user groups, in open source. Reactions are very welcome on www.largescaleinterventions.ning.com <http://www.largescaleinterventions.ning.com/> This book benefited enormously from the work and stimulating responses of founders such as Harrison Owen, Juanita Brown, David Isaacs, Marvin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff, Barbara Bunker and Billie Alban. I am grateful for their wise words and for their inspiration. Thanks! As spin off from my research and book, _an international training workshop on_ _effective use of Large Scale Interventions _ is scheduled _17 – 19 November 2011 in Noordwijk, Netherlands. _The workshop focuses on the principles and conditions for success and on how to embed large group meetings in a larger change process. It is not about specific recipes for Large Group Methods. The workshop is meant for facilitators working with LSI who want to improve their practice, an interactive master class. For details and registration see www.LargeScaleInterventions.com <http://www.largescaleinterventions.com/> During my research I used large group methods for two research conferences, as member check. An online Open Space and a life Search Conference. Participants recognized the conferences as an innovation in action research, so I wrote an article about it. The title is ‘Practice what you preach. Large group conferences as member check’. It has been published in Profile, International Journal for Change, Learning, Dialogue (October 2011). If you are interested, let me know and I will send you a digital copy.
