Hello there!<br>
<br>
I'm happy to report that invitation, opt-in participation and Open
Space as it relates to Agile adoption is now appearing in an article
in CIO Magazine, a publication that is examined closely by potential
OST Sponsors in organizations considering Agile. This is a big deal!<br>
<br>
The article is an interview with one of my clients, Mark Katz of the
American Society of Composers, Artists and Publishers. These are the
people who collect money from radio stations, Pandora etc and then
pay those royalties to musicians. We are implementing Open Agile
Adoption (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.OpenAgileAdoption.com">www.OpenAgileAdoption.com</a>)
with Open Space at ASCAP. <br>
<br>
The context of the article is about how a new CIO helped transition
a group from ways no longer working (the old story) to new ways of
doing and being (the new story) ....<br>
<br>
Enjoy! I hope you might consider posting to Facebook, Tweeting this
link, perhaps blogging etc. My (scary) keynote in Paris is on how to
bring invitation and play (instead of mandated and "work") to the
Agile adoptions. Here is the context: <br>

<p>Open space meetings represent a repeatable technique for
getting a rapid and lasting agile adoption. It’s based on the
hypothesis that <em>human engagement</em> is what actually
powers genuine and lasting agile adoptions.
