I now have experience Googling "Open Space Technology."

The 1st line of Google results for "Open Space Technology" is the Wikipedia entry. Here is the 1st sentence:

Source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*Open*_*Space*_*Technology*
Wikipedia
/
"Open Space Technology/ (OST) is an approach to purpose-driven leadership."

This is perhaps not the most authoritative definition for OST. Yet it is certainly the most accessible definition worldwide, and presumably the definition that the majority of searchers on Google do actually find, and reference.

A quick search of "purpose driven leadership" yields the following first result: here is the link and the opening lines:

https://hbr.org/2014/05/from-purpose-to-impact
" Over the past five years, there’s been an explosion of interest in purpose-driven leadership. Academics argue persuasively that an executive’s most important role is to be a steward of the organization’s purpose. Business experts make the case that purpose is a key to exceptional performance, while psychologists describe it as the pathway to greater well-being."

Etc, etc.

Further down in the text, the HBR article "kind-of," "sort-of," defines "purpose driven leadership" ....

"At its core, your leadership purpose springs from your identity, the essence of who you are."

Etc etc.

PS…one time a US Border Official asked me about my occupation. When I said “Open Space Technology Facilitator” he said “I’m pretty sure our space technology isn’t open, so I have no idea what you’re facilitating…”

That was a good answer.
