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.
