[OSList] Agile culture - video (X-posted OS/GC-list) the next step

[R Chaffe]

Certainly worth review.  It is a great “story” well illustrated.  The structure allows you to stop, discuss, move on and build a reaction/response in a constructive way.

So much of Open Space is the glue that holds such behaviour together.   Right now we need to brake the shackles of “winner take all” as the chaos in the Wider community is dominated by a few who seek total control.   Such stories rise about the normal debate level and pose challenges that can be discussed and consensus is a real outcome.

Too many people in the world feel they have no “voice” and as nations disappear under the sea or in the conflagration of wild fire.   Leaders choose to seek diversions from the real question of the sustainability of the whole world.

Videos like this provide choices and help move conversations to levels that can address the big issues rather than who has power.

Statesmanship is required, sorry I do not have a gender neutral way of describing this.  One reason is that it is so rare we do not have common nouns in our common conversations to describe these persons and their behaviour.

The video captures this tension and asks can we use these ideas on a global scale?  The answer is an emphatic YES.  Remember “the power of one” and the impact that each of us can make if we chose this “way less travelled”.  My limited mobility combined with my health issues requires that I work on myself and my small circle of friends.  My challenge to the young healthy and mobile of us will you give it a go?  The rewards are simply a healthy place to live well into the future.  The consequences are that in a very short time we will have nowhere to live and survival will become a life threatening activity.

Regards
Rob

This link leads to the full 25 min video, about the Agile Culture in Spotify company. There are shorter versions too, but I recommend the full if you are really interested. Lots of good stuff and interesting to understanding more about this approach and how it can be used in a healthy way (as it sounds). I know it can also be ”mis-used” just like OST.
