In any event, it certainly would not be a word I would use. But that doesn’t mean a great deal. However, when you say, “Leaders choose to play OST. Or not,” I do feel called upon to say something like... Oh Yes? <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Some people refer to the “Game of Life,” but it is scarcely a game you choose to play (or not). Not playing is called suicide, I think, and while some people do make that choice it is not a choice that most folks would considered good, useful, or positive. It is more like canceling all choices. Out of the Game, so to speak.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I feel rather the same way about OS, and for all the same reasons. OS for me is not a process we choose to do or not do – quite simply it is what we are -- Self organizing, and OS is only an invitation to be ourselves fully and purposefully. We can chose to be ourselves with distinction, despair, or something in between -- but so long as we remain on the planet in some viable form, we got no choice. We are what we are, what we are. Put a little differently, OS is not something new and different, it is just a small name change for what has been around for quite a while: life. I guess you can call it a game, but somehow that seems to miss some of the nuances.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Harrison <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Harrison Owen<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>7808 River Falls Dr.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Potomac, MD 20854<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>USA<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>189 Beaucaire Ave. (summer)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Camden, Maine 04843<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Phone 301-365-2093<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>(summer) 207-763-3261<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="www.openspaceworld.com%20"><span style='color:blue'>www.openspaceworld.com</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="www.ho-image.com%20"><span style='color:blue'>www.ho-image.com</span></a> (Personal Website)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas;color:#1F497D'>To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of OSLIST Go to:<a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org"><span style='color:blue'>http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext'> oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org [mailto:oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Daniel Mezick<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, October 06, 2013 8:31 PM<br><b>To:</b> World wide Open Space Technology email list<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [OSList] The OST Game<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Michael,<br><br>Thanks for your reply; I like this conversation. <br><br>My current beliefs summarized:<br><br>1/ The culture of the org is a game. It is goal-seeking, it has rules. It delivers feedback. It is opt-in, because you can quit the org. (See <a href="http://www.TheCultureGame.com">www.TheCultureGame.com</a>)<br><br>2/ OST is a pre-fabricated meeting format with excellent game properties. It is well formed. It is optimized on manifesting up-spirit, as described in the SPIRIT book. Spirit is a topic beyond the scope of this thread<br><br>3/ Leaders choose to play OST. Or not. If the Facilitator stays true to OST, the leader opts-in-or-opts-out to occupying the Sponsor role and actually going all the way with OST (self-selection, all issues on the table). This amounts to opting-in to play the OST game.<br><br>4/ Org culture is a game. Games in orgs are nested. Thus a meeting is a small finite game bounded by time and space inside the org's wider culture-game-space. Orgs contain collections of meetings. As a general rule, most meetings reflect the containing ambient culture; authentic OST meetings are a notable exception. An OST meeting has at least the potential to change the culture in the culture-game-space of the org. <br><br>5/ There is no 'real' and 'game' distinction. All real work is a game. The real work and the meeting are one and the same: games.<br><br>However, the game of the org (per McGonigal) is not well formed. Goals are unclear. Rules are not uniformly applied. Self-selection gets "managed". Spirit gets dampened. Meetings are not opt-in. Disengagement becomes a rational response and a grave consequence of the poorly formed game. Etc. OST has none of these warts. It's a good game, one that's fun to play.<br><br><a href="http://www.gaminghappiness.com">www.gaminghappiness.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 10/6/13 2:28 PM, Michael Herman wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>what your quoting suggests to me, dan, is a distinction akin to what i've already shared about tools/techniques versus practice. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>in another message you've suggested rules, feedback etc, and defined ost as a game. what i hear harrison saying in the quoting here, though, suggests that organization is the game. <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal>My current belief: The culture of the org is a game.

Feedback implies mechanistic processes that have been identified through cause and effect responses. This is where we get into trouble. Life is not machine like, in any way. It is complex and not complicated as a set of gears and cogs can become if there are too many trying to interact. However processes of living require new metaphors to capture or even point to the "game" of living process where each entity and combination of entities initiate to form a group, organization or society and have formed to "experience satisfaction" or find effective actions separately and together. The constraints emerge from what the individuals and the collective discover as useful temporary rules of the moment - they can take habit if they are useful beyond the moment. Some where in the process someone decides to "name" the rule, the process and everyone nods in agreement to call what they have shared in common by "that word" (i.e. jargon) Then someone else comes along who perhaps was not in the experience and take up the name and they pass it along as the "rule" that must be the container for that process and try to create the same process starting with the rule instead of the initiating impulse to come together.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Well I think you can see an ephemeral organic process that is ever changing gets bogged down with words, the names and with labels, however useful they may be for a bit. GAme on, as they say, yet, all I'm suggesting is that we stop trying to name, and control with naming a process beyond anything but pointers we can use to share a common experience - each of us forming it each time uniquely with both particular and universal operatives.

I've worked with your interviewer Amr Elssamadisy before in Dr. Christopher Avery's "Leadership Gift" program. Great to hear his voice. Thought he did a great job bringing forward your insights.<br><br>It's hard for me to express how deeply your thinking aligned with what I see as the essence of Open Space, and what I feel emerging in my own psyche and that in the collective when we spoke and I got to be present at your session in Nashville at Agile 2013 last month. I continue to find your material to be a critical piece in helping bridge the Open Space and Agile communities - something Peggy Holman called "Sister Communities" at the World Open Space on Open Space in St. Petersburg back in May.<br><br>I'd heard your thinking before and it continues to astound me the relevance and power in getting these two communities to work together.<br><br>Open Space truly is the "secret sauce" making possible successful Agile adoptions. The science behind this awareness goes deep. The timing of it feels like perfection. You seem to be getting just the right audiences to engage with this idea. And what you posted earlier in terms of a framework for adoption involving interspersed Open Space events to help promote agency and engagement - very exciting. Very simple. Truly elegant. And phrased in a way the holders of the bottom line can "get it".<br><br>What's new about your stuff?<br><br>Perhaps it's been mentioned before - but here are some points I find most critical.<br><br>1) The Mandate. Perhaps Open Space Technology came out of Organizational Development (and Organizational Transformation). But most attempts to transform the organization that I've seen have been "rolled out". Kind of like a steam roller. It's definitely mandated. You went into great depth in your Agile 2013 presentation how Mandated Agile goes fundamentally against the values and principles in the Agile Manifesto. Open Space can help us bring back the original thinking of the signatories of the Agile Manifesto.<br><br>2) Games and engagement. Jane McGonigal's book "Reality Is Broken", and the whole arena of Gamification, has become a focal point of driving home ideas from positive psychology, and is also driving many huge wheels of industry (and dollars). Because getting people excited about using your products is important. Getting employees excited about contributing to your products - also critical. But I'd never heard anyone describe Open Space Technology as a beautifully designed game before. This perception I think plays directly with the TOOL versus PHILOSOPHY debate in our community.<br><br>3) Agency. This might have been a significant idea as well in Paolo Friere's book - "The Pedagogy of the Oppressed". Without people feeling like they have some say in how they apply their blood, sweat, and tears - engagement is not going to happen. Open Space is a critical way to nurture agency in people.<br><br>I'm so thankful that you've started posting on the OSList and I look forward to how things unfold.
