This is awesome! I have questions: <br>
<br>
0/ I looked on AMAZON for the English version. Did not find it. Do
you have guidance on how to buy a copy on AMAZON en anglais? I want
to buy the English version on AMAZON or get an English PDF download.<br>
<br>
1/ Did the OST events held periodically occur on regular scheduled
intervals, or were they ad-hoc as needed, or some combination of
these approaches? <br>
<br>
I'm a fan of a regular recurring OST event as a predictable,
reliable, trust-building, recurring holiday on the cultural calendar
of the tribe. This is how Open Agile Adoption
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.OpenAgileAdoption.com">www.OpenAgileAdoption.com</a>) sidesteps the problem of the champion
leaving the company. Often in Agile adoptions, this vacating by the
champion is a recipe for failure. They exit, poof! it's over. <br>
<br>
The cultural holiday on the calendar decouples the open culture/OST
from an one leader and makes it part of the culture instead of part
of any 1 person's visions and plans. <br>

Dan,
<br>
in my "real" world there is at least one documented example thats
been going on for 13 years now that appears to be pretty much what
you see in an "ideal" world.
<br>
Its been written up in German and brought into english, polish,
french, spanish and chinese versions, all six versions in one
ebook.

also available via amazon
<br>
<br>
Here is how it is announced in the online shop of the publisher
<br>
<br>
It is no longer a secret that Open Space events are pure joy.
<br>
Set up in a jiffy, these events turn the traditional way of
working and leading upside down. And in regard to productivity and
action orientation there is nothing better under the sun. How do
we know? Well, we have worked with Open Space Technology for
decades now and seen the effects.
<br>
Thanks to Hans-Georg Wicke and the National Agency Youth in
Germany, we now have a detailed report on what happens if you go
beyond one solitary, stand-alone Open Space event. He describes
the sustained transformation of working and living in the
organization as Open Space Technology is used over a decade,
several times a year, invading every nook and cranny of the
Agency.
<br>
As dictated structure, external control and traditional leading
are reduced, selforganisation can more freely unfold, bringing
into play the vast resources of everyone involved in the Agency.
Without consulting firms that cost a lot of money and have no
lasting effect, organizations evolve resilient structures and
processes that equip them to navigate in a sea of constant change.
And they do this on their own.
<br>
<br>
We invite you to read this slim report if you are searching for a
truly productive workplace in which everyone happily invests in
cooperation and joint leadership… in hospitals, IT-businesses,
foundations, unions, industrial production plants, NGOs… in any
business and organization.
<br>
And: Be Prepared to be Surprised.

"Management" makes a plan to get movement & momentum in that
direction.
<br>
<br>
In an ideal world, the open space provides all the Leadership
(self

organized) and all the Management (self organized) that is
needed.
<br>
<br>
In the real world, the open space is seldom allowed to provide
either.
<br>
<br>
Well, OK then: Let's just give it a little time...the pace of
change is
<br>
unrelenting.
<br>
<br>
There is a trend, there is a wave...we are on it.
<br>
<br>
There is nothing for us to do.
