[OSList] OPENSPACE AGILITY

Thu Jun 11 06:02:47 PDT 2015

For those interested, here is the session abstract for the session 
SCALING AGILE WITH OPEN SPACE at Agile2015 on Friday, August 7.

I plan to explain how Open Space can and will trigger, almost 
immediately, much higher levels of engagement...

...and the secret sauce....SELF ORGANIZATION...

*Abstract:*
Open Space gatherings arranged inside organizations are totally unlike 
the Open Space events you may be familiar with during public 
conferences. As described in the book SPIRIT from Harrison Owen, Open 
Space is actually designed to enable development and transformations in 
organizations. This session is about how to leverage Open Space to scale 
Agile across the enterprise.
At the root of effective Agile is the self-managed team...a 
self-organizing system.

At the core of Open Space is the power of self-organization. In this 
sense, effective Agile adoptions and Open Space are very, very similar.

During this session I will present narratives, pictures, videos and 
testimony from C-level people as well as team members. Each will 
describe how Open Space inside their Agile adoption literally changed 
their lives. Of particular interest are the stories executives tell 
about how they learned to let go and trust their people... to provide 
everything the Agile adoption needed to succeed at scale.

*Learning Outcomes:*

  * Learn how to apply Open Space for ensuring effective Agile adoptions
  * Understand how to bring executives into the self-managed world of
    Agile and Open Space
  * Gain knowledge of at least 7 experience reports detailing various
    approaches, tools and techniques
