    Hi Rosa,<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for posting this. On page 155 my friends Michelle Holliday
    and Michael Jones have published an article. On page 161, the
    authors discuss "practice grounds", or places to try out new
    patterns and skills. <br>
    <br>
    And, Open Agile Adoption is mentioned right there, on page 161.
    Maybe you saw that? See footnote (9) in the "Living Systems" article
    starting page 155.<br>
    <br>
    Note: "Open Agile Adoption: is the former name of
    <a href="http://www.OpenSpaceAgility.com" target="_blank">http://www.OpenSpaceAgility.com</a><br>
    <br>
    <br>
    <br>
    We need much more OST, especially at the start of Agile adoptions,
    and especially after, when coercive "push" style Agile adoptions
    lose momentum and break down. These adoptions typically break down
    after the expensive (and often quite authoritative) Agile coaches
    leave.<br>
    <br>
    Kind Regards,<br>
    Daniel <br><div><div>
