Dan, No questions on "what the heck" you are doing just unabashed kudos on these very compelling videos. A great gift! Why was I so hooked? Because of the seriousness of the discussions, the level of detail shared which demonstrates unequivocally the value and impact of Open Space to the work at hand. I also appreciated the comments around the difficulties of adjusting to the level of autonomy and freedom that is such a contrast to how organizations traditionally operate. You opened the space beautifully in the interviews which made it very safe for the interviewees to share so honestly and openly.
These videos also make the point in ways that words and assertions may not do as well, that introducing Agile in an Agile Open way is far better than mandating it. The same would apply to all change management approaches outside of Scrum and Agile. I was also so pleased to hear how what Agile was doing was also being felt by other areas (engineering I think is what one of the interviewees quoted). I guess it is time for me to say: glad you've stuck to your guns. You were right which I never doubted though you also know how passionate I am introducing Open Space to other parts of the organization. Your work will indeed pave the way. Bravo! Giving you full credit, do I have your permission to share these with clients? I look forward to seeing the other videos. Thanks again Dan. So very very cool!
