[OSList] : Open Agile Adoption course April 23-24 DC

[Daniel Mezick]

I'm offering a 2-day course in the Open Agile Adoption method, April 
23-24. Many of you are already attending, and I think it is probably a 
good idea for me to mention the class here, more broadly, for those who 
are unaware of it.

You can see it here: Agile Success with Open Agile Adoption

The quick summary of the whole idea is here:
http://newtechusa.net/agile/open-agile-adoption-explained/

There is a very interesting guest speaker planned for both days of this 
learning event. (hint hint)



The basic premise of Open Agile Adoption (OAA) is that mandates are 
fundamentally coercive, and lead to fear, which is death to 
organizational learning and the capacity to adapt.

OAA swaps that nasty mandate of Agile practices with an invitation to 
experiment with them, in service to higher levels of engagement and far 
better results.

OAA uses Open Space, leadership storytelling, game mechanics and 
experience design to help encourage a rapid and lasting Agile adoption, 
the kind that leads to high performance. It focuses on people before 
practices, and creates space for experimentation. It uses patterns from 
cultural anthropology to reduce fear while increasing feelings of 
control, belonging and purpose. It works.

To date, Open Space has been used mostly in public Agile conferences.
Little if any focus in the Agile community has been placed on the 
amazing power of Open Space to help organizations transform. This is 
what Open Agile Adoption is all about.

If you are an Agile coach or Open Space facilitator looking to get 
better Agile adoption results, I hope you might consider attending the 
course we have arranged for you, in April, in DC.

This is an important course.
