Harold:<br>I am not surprised to see your message for Daniel!<br>Last time I went to the Agile coach camp it was in Toronto and I had a hard time to communicate with them I Proposed then a topic about how Agile people and not Agile poeple can talk to each other because I had the feeling that they get so closed inside their world that communication with other communities is not so easy. (I am not one of them but appreciate the collaborative and team work aspect of their job)This topic attracted some of them we had a good conversation.....this topic is important and in this sense I see that the contribution of Daniel es very powerful he is relating this two worlds ....<br>
I will be following this conversation.<br> I have also this kind of job....relating differents worlds and I know how this is difficult and at the same time exiting, chalenging and necessary...at least from my understanding.<br>

<div>Hi Daniel,<br>
<br>
There are quite a few on this list that are either leaders in the
Agile community or know a fair about scrum and agile.<br>
<br>
And then there are those who know very little.<br>
<br>
What has been fascinating and exciting for me has been the amount
of synergy available between the two communities - and nothing has
blown my socks off more than what you are describing here. I
*felt* & *sensed* that Open Space was a critical way for
organizations to move towards a much better adoption of agile
ideas. But you've described the essential nature of the need here
that gives words to my feeling about it. Open Space is *the* core
ingredient for successful agile adoption.<br>
<br>
But why should the OST community care?<br>
<br>
For the sake of those that know little about Agile/Scrum/Lean in
the world of software - perhaps this little story will convey it.
I made my way to Texas last year for the biggest annual Agile
Software conference, Agile 2012. It was at the Gaylord Hotel in
Dallas, Texas. I was drawn to the Open Jam, a space the conference
organizers devote every year for an Open Space like session area.
It wasn't perfect, but it was popular and I visited there often.
The one session I put up on the board was an "Ignite" or "Pecha
Kucha". That would be 90 minutes of very short talks. Even though
I put it up, I didn't show up at the start time. But when I did
show up, there had already been about 10 talks already. One of the
talks I witnessed was by a traditionally geeky looking gentleman
who said that Agile was a "Liberation Theology". Those words
resonated deeply with me, both as truth, and as humor.<br>
<br>
He didn't have to explain. I'd lived the oppression of the
software world before Agile Software ideas. Heavy pre-planned
schedules that were never accurate - usually involving warring
specialized subgroups and a forced death march at the end where
developers and testers would work massive overtime (often out of
fear) in order to make unreasonable schedules that they had little
or no part in creating. It can often seem like a dungeon, and the
refreshing ideas of Agile often inspire religious fervor. But the
oppression unfortunately is perhaps still the rule. EVEN IN THE
MIDST OF ATTEMPTS TO PRACTICE AGILE/LEAN/SCRUM! But the community
continues to work at getting people to adopt these ideas well, as
opposed to badly. Dan is right. Open Space is a core piece that
can enable it to work well.<br>
<br>
Again, why should the OST community care?<br>
<br>
Most Open Space facilitators want to make a difference and they
love bringing that sense of engagement that can people can only
choose for themselves when they sense the freedom (and
responsibility) to do so.<br>
<br>
The way software is built, designed, and deployed continues to
make deeper and more profound impacts on our planet. It's like the
mind of the human race is becoming more and more tangible and even
designable - because of how code makes the processes of our
thinking visible. And makes it possible to consciously change and
redesign it, to make it work for everyone.<br>
<br>
A deep bow to your work, Daniel. I will be seeing you in Tennessee
at Agile 2013 in 10 days or so. This is a great time to be awake
to the Spirit of Open Space, Agile, Scrum, Lean, and many of the
profound forward shifts that are beginning to collaborate in an
invitational way. I look forward to the party that we're all being
invited to!<br>
<br>
Blessings,<br>
Harold<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">In late 2010,
by Googling around I discover the free-download PDF of the
SPIRIT book by HO. Reading that changes everything for me. I
realize that OST is really about development and
transformation in organizations, NOT simply for public
conferences and general education. (This is how the “Agile
community” currently uses Open Space.)<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">As a
consultant to organizations, I realize that the SPIRIT book
for some reason is completely overlooked by the Agile
community, and that this book had the seeds of success in it.
The “secret sauce”. I begin experimenting with bringing Open
Space meetings into my Agile coaching engagements. The basic
hypothesis is that the introduction of change (Agile in this
case) creates alarming levels of anxiety and worry. And, that
Open Space might actually help reduce worry and fear.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">From late 2010
to the present day, I begin experimenting with using Open
Space in service to rapid and lasting Agile adoptions. By
diving into this work with willing clients, I begin to realize
the power of Open Space… with them. We find that we can reduce
the anxiety of change via the power and mystery of
“invitation.” I begin to study and build upon work from Ed
Seykota (“testing for willingness”), Michael Herman
(“invitation”), Harrison Owen (the SPIRIT book), others. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">In 2011 I do a
few more experiments and begin pulling ideas from cultural
anthropology (Victor Turner), from positive psychology (Tony
Hsieh’s application of Martin Seligman’s work) and from the
art and science of game design (Jane McGonigal).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">In 2012 I
write THE CULTURE GAME (<a href="http://www.TheCultureGame.com" target="_blank">www.TheCultureGame.com</a>),
a book about how to help your organization get smarter. At
this point I have worked with OST in more than a few
organizations. In that book I write a chapter, chapter 21, and
give it the title “Open The Space”. That chapter contains
several “easter eggs” which a few astute readers find and
begin using. I start to get emails from around the world about
that chapter. In that chapter I reference many of Harrison’s
works, I disclose some of the Open Agile Adoption technique.<span> </span>In that chapter, I
specifically provide the link to the SPIRIT book. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">By late 2012,
I have confirmation of several hypotheses. The first is that
without engagement, we have nothing. That seems very obvious,
yet the current Agile literature has little or nothing to say
about the role of engagement in effective Agile adoptions.
Second is that there is no engagement without <i>psychological safety</i>
sufficient <i><u>to</u></i>
engage. Third, safety (and a general sense of well-being) is a
largely a function of creating an “inviting structure”. By
structure I mean: a clear goal, or purpose…and a clear set of
rules…and a great, always-on feedback system and the big
one…”opt-in participation”. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">I started
ranting on Twitter and on my blog about how “mandated
collaboration” in Agile adoptions is at best misguided. How
mandated practices may be...harmful. Remember by this point I
have my experience and case data. I am speaking from some
experience. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">At first, no
one seemed to hear me. But after a while, I start getting
ReTweets a lot. And people started talking back to me from
around the world and there is conversation. Questions.
Insights. I start connecting with all kinds of people around
this idea. Some of the ReTweets are from people with French
names who Tweet in French AND English.<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">So here I am
with this more-than-pretty-good technique that incorporates
Open Space. And I am kind of feeding out provocative questions
about Agile coaching, and talking a lot about invitation, and
about the futility of mandates…I also make some radical
assertions. This goes on for a while. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">Then I got
this interesting invitation. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">It’s an invite
to come and <i>keynote</i> the Global Scrum<span> </span>Gathering in Paris France
in September of 2013. The invite is from some of those French
people who ReTweet my Tweets. They tell me I can talk about
absolutely anything I deem important, and ask me to “come and
play” with them. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">It takes me
about 2 minutes to make up my mind. As soon as this happens, I
know it is one of these providential-type events that becomes
a defining moment. I gather up all my notes and start crafting
the speech. I also immediately contact Harrison Owen, and
bring all my work and notes up to his place in Camden to talk,
and explain OAA with Open Space to him, and seek his guidance.
That was back in early July. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">And so: here
we are. I’m going over there to Paris to talk about Open Agile
Adoption with Open Space to six hundred Agile and Scrum
practitioners. Many of them are coaches. The OAA technique
incorporates OST, storytelling, play, and some ancient and
proven tribal patterns for managing change, specifically the <i>rite of passage</i>
pattern. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">There is a
list of links at the bottom of this note, so you can get a
sense of what I am presenting. Over July and August I am
planning to explain the whole technique to you and everyone
else, holding back the case data and the toolkit until 9/24 in
Paris, when I deliver the actual speech. On that day, the
toolkit and all the tools become free to the world via an open
source license and a free download. The intent is to provide a
body of work that others can immediately use and more
importantly, improve upon. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">We know that
people are only 25 or 30 percent engaged at work. (see related
link below.) Open Space is a profoundly useful way to double
or even triple engagement from there. The hypothesis of Open
Agile Adoption is that <i>a safe space is required for true
group learning</i> to take root. And that Open Space is the
primary tool for constructing that kind of place. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">The keynote
address is designed to resonate before and after the event.
Before the event, INFOQ.com is publishing articles, videos and
interviews on Open Agile Adoption. During the event, the
speech will be transcribed, videotaped and recorded by the
Scrum Alliance. After the event these Scrum Alliance artifacts
will be available to anyone in the world via the Scrum
Alliance. Also after the event I plan to make the case data
and Open Agile Adoption toolkit free to the world, such that
anyone with “a good head and a good heart” can do it and do it
well. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">I’m taking a
page from Harrison’s playbook, and from his ethos, choosing to
make the entire body of know-how free to the world. I’m hoping
that Open Agile Adoption (and derivatives) become the standard
for implementing more rapid and lasting Agile adoptions…<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">…Not everyone
is likely to be happy if this comes true. The Open Space
element has the potential to radically reduce the amount of
Agile coaching that is actually needed to get a rapid and
lasting Agile adoption. That reduces billable hours!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">Further (and
of far more interest to you) is the idea that skilled OST
Facilitators are required to execute well with the Open Agile
Adoption technique. This has the potential to open up new
demand for those here with deep OST skills and experience. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">There is clear

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt">After the
Paris Scrum Gathering, I plan to offer short, plain-talk
seminars in how to do Open Agile Adoption. I do not plan to
teach Open Space facilitation in detail, because others in
this community are already doing this very well, and also
because there is more to Open Agile Adoption that just Open
Space. There are elements of storytelling, elements of a
passage rite, elements of gaming, play and more. I plan to
teach the overall OAA technique to people who want to learn
it. In France in September, I am teaching two ½ day seminars
on 9/26 and 9/28 after the Scrum Gathering. When I return I
plan to continue teaching in the United States.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
