Open Space Works Cooperative was established as an independent consultancy group in 2016. We work together in order to strengthen our competencies in organizational and community building with mutual support and experience sharing. We work with international financial and technical cooperation projects, national foundations, private companies when a traditional organization and community development approaches do not work or even harm. What our clients value: Independence Being independent of organizational structures and donor funding, we can be objective and uninfluenced in assessing the operating context, potential risks, and possible scenarios for the development interventions. Deep understanding of the Context Working with the various clients such as the Government of Ukraine, international financial and technical cooperation projects, local communities, large and small businesses, NGOs and networks, we can keep pace and understand what is happening now, both in the area of community development as a whole and in separate segments, as well as understand what methods work well and why, and which do not work. Complex solutions We understand that the challenges encountered by organizations working in the field of community development require complex and often unobvious solutions. The multidisciplinary experience of each team member allows us to look at the project from different angles and find hidden opportunities, identify risks and manage in advance. Support at all stages of work We often do a little more than it is foreseen in the contract because we understand that community development work has many pitfalls that can not always be reflected in the contract. Mutual iterative learning If the implementation of the contract did not bring us as executors and customers the new knowledge that allows us to change our habits or approaches, then such a contract can be considered unsuccessful. But so far this has not happened in our practice.
