| Abstract: | Paradox is defined as self-contradiction, or something that seems unbelievable, but is in fact true. Normally, we don't perceive paradox, because our minds are so oriented to one perspective that we literally do not see contradictory information. The opposing "facts" may be so pervasive as to be invisible. Paradox begins to surface when we perceive two factors that aren't. Once paradox is accepted, there are ways to harness the space between chaos and stability in which to seek creative, new organisation solutions. Open Space provides one transformative technique through its rules of 'non-doing', passion and responsibility. |
