At the time, we (that would be me, for sure) didn’t have a clue what it was or where it was headed. Since then it seems like a lot of good stuff has come down. Of course we need to remember the learnings from the ‘60’s – “Never trust anyone over 30.” Well... we just got there! Everybody should be well advised that what happens next is TOTALLY their responsibility... Or something.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">What happens next is definitely your responsibility.

I do believe it is the beginning. And... There will always be a time when “the first timers” (as participants or facilitators) gets the WOW Experience (Thank you Tom Peters). Kind of like the first ride on your bicycle. Millions of people have done it before you. But your First Ride is always unique (for you). <u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">There will always be times when bits and pieces of our common experience in Open Space are held out as “singularities” – something strange and unique. The latest version is called, “Liberating Structures (Thank you Henri!).” Wonderful Idea, I think, but just a very small part of the whole. <u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">And for all those wonderful people who are attempting to wed Open Space to Agile (Dan et al you know who I am talking about) – I say Three Cheers! And I also hope that the day will come when it is recognized that truly Agile organization are fully, consciously, intentionally – self organizing. At that point, you don’t have to wed anything to anything. Just be what you already are. Which is another way of saying that SCRUM (along with all the other “techniques”) sound nice, but are yet one more example of “working too hard.”<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">And What Next? Truly, I am out of crystal balls. But I rather think the beginning will begin when we call “Full Stop” on any attempt to organize anything. And in that momentary space (Open Space?) just notice what is organizing all by itself. Amazing! And we didn’t do a thing. Which leads naturally to the next question... How do we take advantage of the winds of our existence to bring our ships to harbors of fullness and greatness?<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">And then we may take a lesson from Sailors and the Sea.
