Perhaps "the" entry point... The "IT function" is a sitting duck for improvement in most organizations. The people-problems involved in creating software are epic and legendary. These organizations are seeking real solutions. Can Open Space help? Yes, it can. Agile ideas can help-- and Open Space is a wonderful way to introduce them. Open Space shows just how good it can be. Open Space demonstrates self-organization at scale. From the point of view of the Agile coach, the similarities between facilitating a great Open Space event and coaching a great Agile adoption are quite numerous, and profound. Quality information about the "how-to" of Agile coaching can be quite hard to come by. It is also expensive. Furthermore there is nothing whatsoever available today that discusses Open Space within the context of Agile adoption. While there are some generic books out there, and some classes... there is little in the way of freely obtainable, practical guidance based on direct experience. There are always some expensive classes you can buy, classes that explain various theories... ...Without fully understanding why, lately I've been experimenting with defining and publishing a set of about 60 short essays that encapsulate most of what I know about Agile coaching. Open Space figures prominently in these essays. I'm hoping my 10,000++ hours of experience (doing this kind of work since 2007) might be of some value to you. Here is the latest essay, Lesson #8, the one that scratches the surface on the "why Open Space" question: Start In Open Space: http://newtechusa.net/agile/start-in-open-space/ Here is the main Agile Coaching Lessons page: TABLE OF CONTENTS: http://newtechusa.net/agile-coaching-lessons/ The French Translations are here: http://wiki.ayeba.fr/Le%C3%A7ons+de+coaching+agile+%28table+des+mati%C3%A8res%29 These lessons are offered free to the world. You can reasonably expect a new Agile Coaching Lesson to show up each week, with the French translation showing up about a week later. Most of these lessons are rooted in Open Space. Your feedback is certainly welcome.
