Harrison Owen
Harrison has worked on virtually every continent with organizations ranging from small villages to large corporations and NGOs. His major concern has been to assist organizations as they negotiate a transforming world. In some cases his role has been little more than holding the hands of the anxious. In other situations his function was more overt, assisting organizations in the sometimes painful process of self-understanding and renewal. In all situations the organizational mythology and culture was the focal point, and the power of self-organization the ultimate driver. Harrison has authored some ten books and multiple articles. His first book, "When the Devil Dances" was a photographic essay with commentary depicting life in a small West African Village. His most recent book, bearing the title, "The Practice of Peace" explores the ways in which the powers of self-organization might lead us to Peace -- if we will only cooperate. In between Harrison has explored the nature of leadership, the evolution of consciousness in organizations, Organization Transformation, the power of myth and culture -- and of course, Open Space Technology.
