[OSList] Open Space at Valve

[Jake Yeager]

Hey everyone,

FYI Jutta Eckstein and John Buck mention in their book *Company-wide
Agility with Beyond Budgeting, Open Space, and Sociocracy
<https://www.amazon.com/Company-wide-Agility-Beyond-Budgeting-Sociocracy/dp/154467287X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3TZ598ZJ8NOZM&keywords=company-wide+agility+with+beyond+budgeting%2C+open+space+%26+sociocracy&qid=1570557230&sprefix=company-wide+ag%2Caps%2C145&sr=8-1>
*that the video-game design company Valve
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Corporation>uses organizational Open
Space. Based on the description in the Valve's handbook
<https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/apps/valve/Valve_NewEmployeeHandbook.pdf> from
2012, their way of working appears to be very similar to Open Space,
although the handbook does not mention Open Space. The description begins
on Chapter 2 of the handbook.

All the best,
Jake
