I believe that people in the Agile/IT world (and people in general)
tend to "medicate" their pains/worries/etc with processes. tools.
frameworks. certifications. etc. <br>
<br>
I have some writing on this. It appears here:<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>
<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>
</div>
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>
</div>
Warm regards,<br>
</div>
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">
