Greetings All,
This is a quick note to tell you that Open Space is showing up in the
business news !! In a big way!
CIO Magazine has awarded Mark Katz of ASCAP with the CIO-100 award.
This award honors the top 100 Chief Information Officers and the
organizations they serve.
ASCAP is over 100 years old and has a definite culture. To shift that
culture, Mark Katz of ASCAP implemented of Open Agile Adoption, a method
for implementing Agile which encourages dialogue and engagement.
Open Agile Adoption begins and ends in Open Space:
http://www.OpenAgileAdoption.com
Here's a previous OSLIST post about that:
http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2013-September/030780.html
" ... to really ensure that agile was adopted at ASCAP, *open space
meetings were held* where business users and technology staff
participated. Attendance was excellent."
"...*Open space meetings represent a repeatable technique* for getting a
rapid and lasting agile adoption. It's based on the hypothesis that
/human engagement/ is what actually powers genuine and lasting agile
adoptions."
Mark Katz used the Open Agile Adoption method with Open Space to help
implement Agile in his organization. He then turned his passionate,
responsible, /self-organizing/ Agile teams loose on a big, huge,
mission-critical, do-or-die development project.
And it worked. His teams were able to complete this big, huge & "do or
die" project very successfully!
In so doing, Mark and his teams helped move the ASCAP organization into
the next phase of it's 100-year-plus existence.
And as a result ASCAP and Mark Katz are receipients of the CIO
MAGAZINE's 2014 CIO-100 award.
It's all described here:
http://www.ascap.com/press/2014/0610-ascap-to-receive-cio-100-award.aspx
"...Executives from the winning companies will be recognized at the *CIO
100 Symposium & Awards Ceremony*
<http://www.cio100.com/ehome/index.php?eventid=85676&;>, to be held on
the evening of Tuesday, August 19th, 2014 at the Terranea Resort in
Rancho Palos Verdes, California."
This is a big deal!! ASCAP is the 1st organization in the world to use
the Open Agile Adoption (with Open Space) method.
And now, here they are, with great results, and recognized as one of the
most effective IT organizations in the world, by none other than CIO
MAGAZINE.
And Open Space has everything to do with that!
Note: Mark Katz may be attending the [agileCULTUREcon] conference event
coming up June 26+27 in Boston, to tell his story.
