[OSList] Euro-Agile Folk & OST-Experiments

[Daniel Mezick via OSList]

Hello All,

This is from my friend in France, PABLO PERNOT, a real, great, person. 
He is a fine philosopher and a most excellent player of the banjo...(see 
related video link below....)

Pablo was the first in Europe to use before/after Open Space, with 
experimentation in the middle, using Open Space to frame an 
enterprise-wide iteration of learning.....BEYOND Agile adoption. He used 
it to introduce "other" non-Agile cultural change in an iterative 
(www.OpenSpaceAgility.com) way .....

His work doing that, led to this: www.Prime-OS.com

A man of action is he.

Now he is planning, with colleague ALEXIS MONVILLE, to facilitating Open 
Space at this public Agile-conference event:
....wait, whoops... is co-facilitation a form of OST blasphemy?
http://ale2015.alenetwork.eu/

I wonder if you find the planned experiments with OST (listed below) 
interesting....


.....is this blasphemy...or bold innovation? Check the "White Hair" 
experiment .....


Regards,
Daniel

Why adding experiments to the classic open space ?

We need fresh adventures /in the land of open space. We tasted the 
enterprise open space /
/and we value what it brings. We would like to try some experiments to 
benefit from that /
/experience and try something a bit different. We feel that it is 
important and possible /
/especially here because of the willingness to learn and to share of our 
community.

//ALE 2015 Open Space Experiments
=======================
//\

==================
Speed learning//open space
==================
//Opener and energizer 5mn:

//●//we form a large cycle standing up (no chairs in the room)/
/●//2mn//
//ask every people that already know open space to raise /
/their hand.

////    ask people that doesn’t know openspace to pick someone/
/with a raised hand

//●//the person who knows has 2 mn to explain open space to his /
/partner (posters on the walls will display the way it works as a /
/reminder)/
/●//1mn : we go back to the large circle/
/●//2mn : another 2mn of Q&A but you need to pick someone /
/different. /

/Babel tower
==============
//Every topic proposed for the market place has to be made:

//1.//with our mothertongue

//2.//and in english

//ps: for people with english as mother tongue they can, or not, repeat or /
/rephrase, or use their mother tongue accent / pronunciation at first /
/why: to hear all the diversity and richness of ALE people. to liberate 
the /
/non-verbal communication, to allow a different attitude (discover people /
/when they are at ease to speak, not when they are struggling to find their/
/words).

==============
//Topic/Theme
==============
//Adding a topic or a theme : every session should be related to this /
/theme. The idea is to gather the outcome and consolidate a booklet that /
/will help ale community to learn and share their learnings. /
/
We propose the theme to be : /
/
"What are the key changes in our culture and business?"

//We should give people the theme one week at least before the /
/event, so they can think about it. Or be aware during the sessions./
/Why: a part of the power of open space, when we use it in enterprises, is/
/coming from the common purpose of the people involved/
/


====================================
Global //restitution (report out) at //the end of //every session
====================================
//Every session is one hour : split in two parts : 40mn brainstorming, 20mn/
/global restitution : every group has //1mn//to restitute their 
conversation. /
/


==================================
“key change //pitch”/
/Quick //normalization //of the outcome//of every //session
==================================
//Each group will use one flipboard paper sheet to present their topic./
/
The guidelines proposed for the global restitution and for the booklet are:

/ /●//140 characters to pitch of the “key change” (one line)

/ ///why/how this “key change” happened // what’s the value //of the 
“key change”/
/
This could/would/should of course evolve.



============================
//PDF/Blog //consolidation
============================

//Every outcome (“key change pitch”) is consolidated in a booklet and/or a/
/blog every day and is public (is it possible to use ale15 blog and to 
have /
/some support to do that?)


===================
//Visualisation
===================
//As usual, visual helpers are provided, especially one explaining these /
/experiments./
/

============
Message
============
//These experiments could evolve during the 3 days.


============
//White hair
============
//only white hair people can facilitate the open space/
