From: OSList [mailto:oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Mezick via OSList Sent: 16 March 2015 20:01 To: oslist@lists.openspacetech.org Subject: [OSList] Agile-in-OpenSpace videos Greetings, Find below 15-minute videos of software industry executive Frank Tino, explaining his org's journey through Open Space on the way to a genuine, rapid, lasting, enterprise-wide, "scaled" Agile adoption.  Frank's 100-person company (now 150++ just one year layer) authorized several full-day before/after Open Space events. In between there was 100 days of experimentation and learning in between those gatherings. In these videos he explains the astonishing results obtained in just 100 days... ...Open Space is now part of the cultural fabric of his entire organization. And the coaches are GONE. Is Open Agile Adoption something completely new? Well yes, it is actually. Thanks for asking!

Open Agile Adoption (OAA) is a new composition of powerful elements that work together to strongly encourage positive cultural change in organizations. Open Agile Adoption incorporates the power of invitation, Open Space, game mechanics, passage rites, storytelling and more…so your Agile adoption can actually take root. 

OAA is based on people, THEN practices. You can introduce any practice or framework with it. Open Agile Adoption is based on Prime-OS which is social technology published under an open-source, free-to-the-world ("free culture") license from Creative Commons.

My way (Nina Simone, Paul Anka,...)

And now, the end is here

And so I face the final curtain

My friend, I'll say it clear

I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's fullI traveled each and ev'ry highway

And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few

But then again, too few to mention

I did what I had to do

and saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course,

each careful step along the byway 

But more, much more than this, I did it my way 

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew

But through it all, when there was doubt

I ate it up and spit it out

I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried

I've had my fill, my share of losing

And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say, not in a shy way,

"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naught

To say the things he truly feels

and not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

Yes, it was my way

Enjoy life, the huge gift!

Nice Open Space story by Diana Larsen on the OSLIST

Hi all,
Last week, we held the 7th annual Agile Open Northwest conference in Portland Oregon.
The Facts: Theme: Agile Vision for Agile Practitioners
Duration: 2.5+ days (+ represents holding the closing activities after lunch on the third day)
Registration: 246 people registered including organizers, volunteers, sponsor representatives, attendees, etc.
Circle Set-up: 3 concentric rows (inner 60, middle 70, outer 80) about 60-70 ft (~ 20 m) in diameter
Attending: ~190 people sat in Opening Circle, others drifted in (or out) over the course of the event, only a dozen badges had not been claimed by the end of the conference.
Marketplace: We posted sessions one day at a time over the three days.
Session times: 16 over three days - 6 on Day 1, 7 on Day 2, 3 on Day 3
Sessions possible: 208 + more outside pre-arranged times or spaces
Sessions held: ~140
Session spaces: 13 (9-11 were filled during any one session time, fewer in the evenings and early morning)
Session length: 60 minutes + 10 minutes to move between sessions
Location: http://leftbankannex.com Converted aeronautic machined-parts manufacturing shop, 14,000 sq ft on  two floors with a mezzanine. Lots of concrete, metal, windows, and vast empty space repurposed for events. Very industrial chic and highly configurable. The event coming in the day after ours was a huge Bar Mitzvah.
Experiments: We tried it with a “crew” of OS facilitators, so everyone could attend sessions, secure in the knowledge that someone(s) somewhere was attending to the space holding needs. It mostly worked, there are a few aspects of this I’d change. Harold Shinsato was one of the crew members. He may have more to say (or not).
My role: Organizer of the OS crew, participant, bumblebee, butterfly, board member.
The best part: On the last day, I brought my 4-year-old grand-daughter, T. She had been on the exploratory visit last fall when the co-chairs chose the facility, and I thought she’d like to see it all decked out for the event. Also, her Mom needed time to do a few things that are made difficult with a 4 y/o in tow. I feel blessed that I knew bringing her wouldn’t cause a moment’s concern to any of the other board members, chairs, or organizers. What a great community!
T was interested and a little overwhelmed. I’m not sure she’s ever been with such a large group before. She spent most of the day shyly curious and quietly observing, getting her bearings. The buffet breakfast was a treat for he, so the day started well. She sat intent through "morning announcements” as member of the OS crew welcomed everyone to the third day and facilitated additions to the marketplace. She attended three sessions and butterflied during the two session times before lunch.
She was fascinated by the lunch break with many tables of 8 people locked in deep discussions. “What are those people doing?”  We explained the delight of being able to talk about something you care about with other people who care as deeply…people that you might not otherwise see often. T considered this for a moment, then nodded her affirmation.
We moved to the closing. She and i found chairs in the circle, as a facilitator started it off, asking about sessions attended, giving participants time to announce actions going forward, etc. Toward the end, I asked her father to come sit with her. I needed to move into a different place in the circle to receive the microphone and close the conference space.
I had been sitting in my new seat only a few minutes and my colleague was still facilitating the harvest, when, spontaneously, T began running around the outside of the circle, defining the space, inadvertently causing those who were standing outside to move closer into the circle. Her shoes hit the floor creating a rhythmic tattoo and an energetic boundary around the community. She made 5 or so circuits. I sat in awe , feeling my eyes moisten and goosebumps rise on my skin. Then, it was time for me to take the microphone.
Walking into the circle, as I accepted the mic and began to say a few words, I felt her small hand slip lightly  into mine. Each person said their short, last comment and I invited them to stand and look around, to see who remained and remember those who had to leave earlier. She continued to walk the circle with me. Together we invited everyone to turn around and step out into their futures, closing the conference
Completely unprompted, from her own instinct, she provided the perfect reminder that all we do contributes to the world of future generations. She was totally present and, in her way, invisible, as she held space for the very first time.
From a very fortunate Grandma,
Diana

Harrison Owen (Opening Space for Peace and High Performance_International House 2015-1- )

Harrison Owen - Opening Space for Peace & High Performance 2015 Saturday morning talk from Harold Shinsato on Vimeo.

See here the reports of this great learning experience that takes place at The International House in NYC yearly.

And read this seet chronicle by Suzanne Daigle, with whom we too took part in year 2011.

This annual Open Space gathering over the Martin Luther weekend has been a tradition for many years. Many were introduced to Open Space here for the very first time; others have come to deepen their exploration and practice of it.
There is a gentle flow about this experiential event hosted by Harrison Owen and Karen Davis. The late Ralph Copeland and others were involved in the past. This year the Open Space Institute, US decided to formally lend a hand,  to help in the planning and inviting.
In doing so, we also felt a yearning to provide our world wide community of friends and colleagues an opportunity to peak in, to experience this gathering with us in real time. It's always a delicate balance to honor this special and intimate time of being together face-to-face, to truly be present in the emergence of our conversations together while also providing a window to share our learning with others which is at the heart of this community.
The theme of "Opening Space for Peace and High Performance at Work and in Life: Navigating Chaos, Confusion and Conflict" is palpably felt...even more so following the tragic events in Paris recently and also the violence in other parts of the world.
Christine Koehler who traveled from Paris yesterday will be opening the Space, this morning. Others have come from near and far to be here, familiar and new faces.
This morning at the opening circle, we will be consulting the group to see if they are willing that reports and photos be posted on line in real time. We have set up a Google Drive location for this. We want individuals and groups to feel safe and free in their sharing so it may be that not all reports will be shared. Participants themselves will decide in their groups as the discussions happen. We will be asking everyone if they are comfortable with our plans. I'm guessing that if it is yes, we may experiment a few things in other ways with the goal of inviting and including others in the emergence of our time together. Already we feel the presence of so many in spirit.
So my friends, in the early morning hours before we have even opened space, I wanted to describe our heartfelt intentions. We will let you know more and will provide you with the link to access if it is a go to proceed this way. Please forgive us, if it does not offer all that you would like or if this appears a bit last minute. It's one of those things that we can't totally plan.
Suzanne on behalf of a gang of folks involved in helping out.

Navigate chaos, confusion and clnflict!

En-joy life!

The great big world will smile with
The whole wide world will smile with you
