  <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
    Thanks Birgitt, Harrison, Eva for this question!<br>
    <br>
    Engagement is considered very valuable. There's been an annual
    gallup poll around U.S. employee engagement levels, and the latest
    one shows it's only 32%. They're participating as employees, but
    they're not really showing up. <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/188144/employee-engagement-stagnant-2015.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.gallup.com/poll/<wbr>188144/employee-engagement-<wbr>stagnant-2015.aspx</a><br>
    <br>
    Gallup has estimated the cost of this lack of engagement is "$450
    billion to $550 billion in lost productivity per year". <a href="http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/162953/tackle-employees-stagnating-engagement.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.gallup.com/<wbr>businessjournal/162953/tackle-<wbr>employees-stagnating-<wbr>engagement.aspx</a><br>
    <br>
    I'm not the origin of this story, and I doubt it really started with
    the formal use of Open Space in bringing Agile practices into
    software organizations (thank you Daniel Mezick!), but engagement is
    really considered critical in getting a successful and lasting shift
    towards agile processes and an agile mindset.<br>
    <br>
    Although Open Space doesn't guarantee engagement, it does prevent a
    critical factor in this lack of engagement. Which is enforced
    participation. Open Space helps show how space actually is open for
    people to step forward for what they love as an act of service
    (thank you Peggy Holman for showing me this way of thinking about
    Open Space).<br>
    <br>
    Unless we offer <div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline">​​</div>an authentic invitation to engage, one that is
    welcoming as well as being an invitation we can safely decline, the
    most we can get is their butts into the room. We won't get their
    hearts.<br>
    <br>
    Can we coerce engagement? Full engagement? My sense is no. Maybe we
    can trick people, but engagement by fraud isn't real engagement.<br>

                    of you that I love is that when you participate, you

                    </div>
                    <div>I witness many people participating
                      and appearing engaged. And yet upon probing after
                      a participatory meeting, engagement was not
                      sufficient to create follow on action. I feel that
                      this distinction between having a participatory
                      meeting and having the conditions for engagement
                      is important somehow.</div>
