Hi Everyone,
Lots of folks want to change the world of work, and few if any people
are offering a very specific set of steps to actually get there. I have
some very definite thoughts on this, and they appear below, written as
briefly as possible with respect for your valuable time.
You are invited to help answer this question: How can we improve this idea?
===================================
Hacking Culture with Open Space : Open Agile Adoption
===================================
Cracking the world of work open, and creating an inviting workplace...
is a game. The best move now is to exploit available entry points. A
perfect & readily available entry point is the now-mainstream "adoption
of Agile software development methods. "
Org all over the world must create and use software to operate. No other
options. A "must do, or die" situation. Orgs all over the world are
trying to be more effective in writing the necessary business software &
systems. And they are having huge trouble! They think Agile can help.
These organizations have no idea that what they are REALLY getting into
here is: CULTURE CHANGE.
All the orgs want to "do more with less", to "go faster", to "be more
productive", etc and think Agile can help with these goals. It can,
provided they are ready to move to a truly Open culture. Most are not.
The perfect tool for cracking this problem is Open Space. By using Open
Space meetings inside mainstream Agile adoptions, we can crack it open.
This is because the Open Space meeting format is super-effective, and
VERY engaging. When Open Space meetings are used in Agile adoptions,
they are attended by business people who are patrons and sponsors of IT.
These business people then return to the ambient culture of the
organization...
This then is the secret leverage point: once the business people
experience Open Space and the good results that can come from a rapid &
lasting Agile adoption, the genie is out of the bottle, the horse is out
of the barn, and a wider cultural change can be ignited.
The mainstreaming of Agile represents a huge entry point for Open Space.
Open Agile Adoption (OAA) is a simple and ready-now. "A-B-C" technique
or getting a good & lasting Agile adoption using Open Space. OAA is a
tactic in a wider strategy, a means to an end. A start. The beginning.
OAA exploits an opportunity, namely: the fact that Agile is now
mainstream. And the fact that Agile most Agile adoptions are in crisis
and need help...specifically because of mandated collaboration.
Engagement is the name of the Agile-adoption game, not mandates (far
from it!) ...and nothing is better than Open Space for for creating
engagement, via the incredible magic of invitation.
Our cover story is that OAA is about Agile adoption when in fact Agile
adoption is about cultural change. Therefore, OAA is really about
cultural change. OAA is really about hacking culture with Open Space...
inside Agile adoptions. OAA recognizes the crisis in IT, and the
now-mainstream adoption of Agile methods, and the problems Agile
adoptions are having throughout the world. It injects Open Space into
troubled Agile adoptions and makes them better.
What this all means is very simple: If we cannot successfully bring
something as wonderful and useful and effective and FUN as Open Space
into the Agile adoption crisis-space, it is unlikely any headway can be
made whatsoever elsewhere. The crisis is clear & the timeframe for
taking action is "yesterday". This seems like a great and opportune
moment for Open Space...
“Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent.”
― *Mao* Tse-tung
...For typical organizations with soul-sucking culture, Open Agile
Adoption with Open Space probably represents the best tactic now for
kicking off a wider, enterprise level conversation about Openness.
I must underscore that the OAA technique is a tactical play, and a means
to an end. It's not an end in itself, except in the short run. It is
probably the very best play we have now... to get the right
conversations going across an entire enterprise.
From there, anything is possible.
How can we improve this idea?
