<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Suzanne,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the account! I just downloaded the Spirit PDF. I
thought I had read it already - but it's different than the book
"The Power of Spirit". I've only read a few pages - powerful! I
prefer paper - so I also found a signed copy on Amazon.<br>
<br>
Thank you so much for understanding the power of what these
(sometimes annoying and anti-social) propeller heads, nerds, and
geeks have been up to - and how much the really good ones have
been seeing that it's all really a *PEOPLE* issue.<br>
<br>
And now - someone like Dan - get's that it's even more - a
*SPIRIT* issue! What Harrison has been trying to say for decades.<br>
<br>
I invite and encourage more folks to sign up for Dan's Agile
primer on October 14. This stuff only started in the software
world. Yes, the roots go back to Toyota, W. Edwards Deming, and
probably Adam and prehistoric shamans if you swim up that river
far enough! But it's going everywhere - and it's going to need
(our) SPIRIT.<br>
<br>
Thank you, Suzanne, for facilitating several awesome conversations
in the Agile/Scrum/Lean world - like Scrum Beyond Software, Agile
Day NYC, a morning Open Jam mini Open Space at Agile 2010 - and
more I wasn't able to attend. Thank you thank you for being a
wonderful supporter of helping these two communities benefit from
each other!<br>
<br>
Blessings!<br>

<div>Riveting, humorous and serious, and super
invitational with a powerful message behind it! Dan
Mezick did a super job presenting his Open Agile
Adoption approach. As it is with Open Space, you can
never truly understand Open Space hearing it described.
I'd say the same applies to Dan; you can never truly get
Dan with his passion, conviction and depth of experience
working with teams, in Scrum with Open Space until he
engages you in person. His recent written posts could
not fully capture what he shared today. The in-person
version with his story telling and logic was very
engaging. I know his presentation will be available to
all soon. I would not even want to try to capture the
essence of it here. What I can say he that he made a
compelling case for a heartfelt and smart collaboration
between Scrum and Open Space -- two communities that
share many values and who are committed to assuring high
performance and joy in the doing. Jasmina Nikolic and I
were both very ignited as were the 400 folks who were
here. <br>

Bravo Dan... and I wish we had google analytics attached
to the download of Harrison's Spirit book cause I'm
thinking that there will be a slew of them based on Dan's
enthusiastic nudging that it is a book to read. And yes
Harrison, he even included your disclaimer... that it's a
tough read!<br>
<br>

Tomorrow, Adam Weisbart facilitates the full day of Open
Space. The Theme is "Prioritize Passion". The invitation
captures the spirit and essence of what this conference has
been all about and I just can't wait to participate. I know
that are equally excited about tomorrow. <br>
<br>

Warm regards,<br>

Suzanne (and Jasmina...but I don't quite know where she is
right now). <br>
<br>
P.S. Jasmina Nikolic and her colleague Karl Royle also did a
great job yesterday presenting their topic Scrum in Schools
where they too discussed the value of Open Space to open
space...!<br clear="all">
