Suzanne,
So nice of you to express these thoughts. All we can do is explain it
briefly, invite people to give it a try, and experience it, (whatever
"it" is), and wait...and see what kind of interest (if any) develops.
Once again I'm reiterating: Using Open Space inside an Agile adoption is
a means to an end, and that end is: to introduce as many business people
as possible, in as many enterprises as possible, into the experience of
Open Space.
For my part, regarding persuasion: I have added the following statement
of intent into the Open Agile Adoption docs. This is my response to keen
and engaging feedback from Diane Gibault, Adriana Diaz-Berrio, and many
others here (please forgive me if I missed your name!)
"...Attempting to use invitation (and specifically the inviting Open
Space meeting format) to persuade, convince, or otherwise influence
anyone to do anything in an Agile adoption without their explicit
consent is not in alignment with the spirit, purposes and intent of the
Open Agile Adoption technique.

>>>>>
>>>>> I Q. I struggle with the notion that "agile has
>>>>> become *mainstream*, while at the same time has a "85%
>>>>> failure" rate - on the face of it this seems like
>>>>> folly - why would any company want to adopt agile with
>>>>> such a poor track record?
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> ·Q. In the case of OAA where there has already been an
>>>>> attempt to adopt agile (rescuing an adoptation),
>>>>> training in agile (scrum etc) will already have taken
>>>>> place, but in the case where a unit goes straight into
>>>>> agile via OAA (straight adaptation), when does the
>>>>> training take place? Before the first Open Space, or

>>>>>

>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> ·Q. At the last teleconference we also established
>>>>> that the follow up after the first OST event is
>>>>> critical for success -- but how will the follow
>>>>> through be run, and more importantly who will be
>>>>> responsible for this follow up? (If it is the OST
>>>>> facilitator then I would have doubts as to whether OST
