NewWorkSpaces is organized around a common space for community building, planning and reflection which then supports work in four social learning spaces.

Each of these four social learning spaces is designed to increase the capacity of leaders to generate and distribute knowledge, and each builds on the work done in the previous spaces.

In Discover Space your community members will share, integrate, and make explicit your tacit knowledge - what it is you know and know how to do, but have not yet expressed to yourselves or others.

In Invent Space you and your community members shift from sharing what you know to creating the new knowledge that is essential for addressing the challenges you face in rapidly changing, turbulent times.

In Experiment Space you will develop your capacity as community-based researchers, taking your new knowledge to practice through processes of action and reflection.

In Influence Space, you and your community members will increase your capacity to influence colleagues, constituencies, and policy-makers.

Taken together, the common space and the four learning spaces are a full cycle of the learning process. Our approach relies on a design team -- a core group of people who are leading your learning work -- who use the NewWorkSpaces methodology, processes and tools to guide you through this cycle. For communities who are operating across time and distance, we also have developed a collaborative technolgy which allows you to easily have find the people in your community you want to be working with, develop and share knowledge, and have deep, reflective conversation with each other.
