Hi Dan, Really appreciating what you've created here, with the "Open Agile Adoption" model... wish I could be there! And, I'm very much looking forward to reading your book, which I've just ordered.
Would love to explore with you sometime, what Dynamic Facilitation<https://d3gqux9sl0z33u.cloudfront.net/AA/AL/diapraxis/downloads/271633/ODP-V45_No1-Zubizarreta.pdf> can offer to the agile manager's skill set. Oh and, much appreciate the Tavi perspective on OS, as well! all best wishes, Rosa *Rosa Zubizarreta* *Diapraxis: Facilitating Creative Collaborationhttp://www.diapraxis.com <http://www.diapraxis.com/>* *Celebrating my new book, "From Conflict to Creative Collaboration: A user's guide to Dynamic Facilitation" <http://www.amazon.com/Conflict-Creative-Collaboration-Dynamic-Facilitation/dp/1626526117/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1394491921&sr=1-1&keywords=from+conflict+to+creative+collaboration>* On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 7:53 AM, Daniel Mezick <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm offering a 2-day course in the Open Agile Adoption method, April > 23-24.
