We're looking for reformed open-book management doubters, disbelievers, critics & skeptics to join us at the 2014 Annual Gathering of Games taking place September 3-5, 2014 in St. Louis, MO.
If you weren't exactly on the "open-book bandwagon," but you eventually came around, we want to hear what changed your mind. Submit your turnaround story online or via email for your chance to win a free registration to the 22nd Annual Gathering of Games. At the conference you'll share your story as a panelist in the breakout session, Doubters, Pouters & CAVE Dwellers, hosted by the "Original Doubter," former SRC employee, Denise Bredfeldt.

- experienced culture shock after joining an open-book organization.
- thought open-book management was just a "flavor-of-the-month" solution.
- openly opposed the company's open-book efforts.
If one of the above statements describes you or someone you work with, we want to hear about your hate-to-love journey with open-book management.
