Hello All,<br>
<br>
This is from my friend in France, PABLO PERNOT, a real, great,
person. He is a fine philosopher and a most excellent player of the
banjo...(see related video link below....)<br>
<br>
Pablo was the first in Europe to use before/after Open Space, with
experimentation in the middle, using Open Space to frame an
enterprise-wide iteration of learning.....BEYOND Agile adoption. He
used it to introduce "other" non-Agile cultural change in an
iterative (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.OpenSpaceAgility.com">www.OpenSpaceAgility.com</a>) way .....<br>
<br>
His work doing that, led to this: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.Prime-OS.com">www.Prime-OS.com</a><br>
<br>
A man of action is he. <br>
<br>
Now he is planning, with colleague ALEXIS MONVILLE, to facilitating
Open Space at this public Agile-conference event: <br>
....wait, whoops... is co-facilitation a form of OST blasphemy?<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ale2015.alenetwork.eu/">http://ale2015.alenetwork.eu/</a><br>
<br>
I wonder if you find the planned experiments with OST (listed below)
interesting....<br>
<br>
<br>
.....is this blasphemy...or bold innovation? Check the "White Hair"
experiment .....<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Daniel<br>

Why adding experiments to the classic open space ? <br>
<br>
We need fresh adventures <em>in the land of open space. We tasted
the enterprise open space </em><br>
<em>and we value what it brings. We would like to try some
experiments to benefit from that </em><br>
<em>experience and try something a bit different. We feel that it is
important and possible </em><br>
<em>especially here because of the willingness to learn and to share
of our community.<br>

Speed learning</em><em> open space<br>
==================<br>
</em><em>Opener and energizer 5mn: <br>
<br>
</em><em>●</em><em>we form a large cycle standing up (no chairs in
the room)</em><br>
<em>●</em><em>2mn</em><em><br>
</em><em>ask every people that already know open space to
raise </em><br>
<em>their hand.<br>
<br>
</em><em></em><em> ask people that doesn’t know openspace to pick
someone</em><br>
<em>with a raised hand<br>
<br>
</em><em>●</em><em>the person who knows has 2 mn to explain open
space to his </em><br>
<em>partner (posters on the walls will display the way it works as
a </em><br>
<em>reminder)</em><br>
<em>●</em><em>1mn : we go back to the large circle</em><br>
<em>●</em><em>2mn : another 2mn of Q&A but you need to pick
someone </em><br>
<em>different. </em><br>
<em><br>
</em><br>
<em><em>==============<br>
</em>Babel tower<br>
==============<br>
</em><em>Every topic proposed for the market place has to be made: <br>
<br>
</em><em>1.</em><em>with our mothertongue <br>
<br>
</em><em>2.</em><em> and in english <br>
<br>
</em><em>ps: for people with english as mother tongue they can, or
not, repeat or </em><br>
<em>rephrase, or use their mother tongue accent / pronunciation at
first </em><br>
<em>why: to hear all the diversity and richness of ALE people. to
liberate the </em><br>
<em>non-verbal communication, to allow a different attitude
(discover people </em><br>
<em>when they are at ease to speak, not when they are struggling to
find their</em><br>
<em>words).<br>
<br>
==============<br>
</em><em>Topic/Theme<br>
==============<br>
</em><em>Adding a topic or a theme : every session should be related
to this </em><br>
<em>theme. The idea is to gather the outcome and consolidate a
booklet that </em><br>
<em>will help ale community to learn and share their learnings. </em><br>
<em><br>
We propose the theme to be : </em><br>
<em><br>
"What are the key changes in our culture and business?"<br>
<br>
</em><em>We should give people the theme one week at least before
the </em><br>
<em>event, so they can think about it. Or be aware during the
sessions.</em><br>
<em>Why: a part of the power of open space, when we use it in
enterprises, is</em><br>
<em>coming from the common purpose of the people involved</em><br>
<em><br>
<br>
<br>
====================================<br>
Global </em><em>restitution (report out) at </em><em>the end of
</em><em>every session<br>
====================================<br>
</em><em>Every session is one hour : split in two parts : 40mn
brainstorming, 20mn</em><br>
<em>global restitution : every group has </em><em>1mn</em><em> to
restitute their conversation. </em><br>
<em><br>
<br>
<br>
==================================<br>
“key change </em><em>pitch”</em><br>
<em>Quick </em><em>normalization </em><em>of the outcome</em><em>
of every </em><em>session<br>
==================================<br>
</em><em>Each group will use one flipboard paper sheet to present
their topic.</em><br>
<em><br>
The guidelines proposed for the global restitution and for the
booklet are:<br>
<br>
</em>
<em>●</em><em>140 characters to pitch of the “key change” (one line)<br>
<br>
</em>
<em> </em><em>why/how this “key change” happened // what’s the
value </em><em>of the “key change”</em><br>
<em><br>
This could/would/should of course evolve. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
============================<br>
</em><em>PDF/Blog </em><em>consolidation<br>
============================<br>
<br>
</em><em>Every outcome (“key change pitch”) is consolidated in a
booklet and/or a</em><br>
<em>blog every day and is public (is it possible to use ale15 blog
and to have </em><br>
<em>some support to do that?)<br>
<br>
<br>
===================<br>
</em><em>Visualisation<br>
===================<br>
</em><em>As usual, visual helpers are provided, especially one
explaining these </em><br>
<em>experiments.</em><br>
<em><br>
<br>
============<br>
Message<br>
============<br>
</em><em>These experiments could evolve during the 3 days.<br>
<br>
