Harrison and All,
Harrison you once said recently:
"The real operating system is self-organization, Daniel. Everything else
is an app. Open Space included!"
I've just recently integrated this idea more fully into my thinking. I
must admit it has taken "some time."
That said, my current belief is: most organizations are at a very low
level of development and can use/typically need the "app" of Open
Space...and/or the "app" of Scrum... and/or the "app" of Sociocracy,
what have you.
I think [facilitation] does fit nicely as a kind of component or
"widget" in each "app" (facilitation being part of OST, Scrum, Kanban)
...all of which run on the real OS of self-organization.
So these are all self-org "apps." The "f" word does after all has the
connotation of: "making it easy."
At Frank Tino's company INTUIT, they have embraced the idea of creating
"a culture of facilitation." This has resulted in some interesting team
behaviors...
...Frank Tino's staff, for example, does this very impressively
effective, brief daily-meeting called the 'daily huddle' at 430 PM each
day and it's super short like 12 minutes... and someone plays in the
facilitator role each time... and that f-role orbits/rotates around to
someone new each day who jumps in to do it.
And it seems to work pretty darned good. Everyone is a facilitator at
one time or another. I often observe them completing each other's
sentences in these 430PM meetings...
I like the idea of having a goal of ELIMINATING the need to for any
(facilitated!) 'Open Space' gatherings. These gatherings are after all
simply apps running on the REAL operating system we call: "you-know-what."

I guess you could say that replying to your own note is rather like
talking to yourself. Guilty as charged but then I do it all the time
(Talk to myself). Anyhow, I expressed the hope that Dans videos would
not only inspire folks to emulate, but also to think about going to
the next level wherever that might be. Im not sure I know, but I did
notice a little anomaly in the marvelous interviews, which might
suggest a direction. Dans client obviously was moved by the Open
Space the quality of conversations, good ideas, actions generated,
and all the good stuff. Presuming that Dans Open Space is just like
always, those generative groups that the client so enjoyed did it all
by themselves with not a facilitator in sight. No news here but then
in the final interview, the client waxed enthusedly about
facilitation and said that from here on out he was always going to
have a facilitator. Did I see a little disconnect here? A little
anomaly? If the folks could do it in Open Space...why not every
day, all the time? Perchance an opportunity to go to the next level?

Dan this is just wonderful! And to be clear... I never could have
done what you have done. First off, I dont speak Agile/Scrum/...
I joke, but seriously. And to anybody else on this OSLIST, do
yourself a favor. Watch Dans videos through. Not with the idea of
replicating what happened (although that wouldnt be bad) but to be
inspired to take it all to a new level. I so look forward to whatever
discussion...

*Subject:* [OSList] Agile-in-OpenSpace videos
Greetings,
Find below 15-minute videos of software industry executive Frank Tino,
explaining his org's journey thru Open Space on the way to a genuine,
rapid, lasting, enterprise-wide, "scaled" Agile adoption.
Frank's 100-person company (now 150++ just one year layer) authorized
several full-day before/after Open Space events. In between there was
100 days of experimentation and learning in between those gatherings.
In these videos he explains the astonishing results obtained in just
100 days...
...Open Space is now part of the cultural fabric of his entire
organization. And the coaches are GONE.
<SHAMELESS HYPE WARNING>
Is Open Agile Adoption something completely new? Well yes, it is
actually. Thanks for asking! Explained here:

*Open Agile Adoption (OAA) is a new composition of powerful elements
that work together to strongly encourage positive cultural change in
organizations. Open Agile Adoption incorporates the power of
invitation, Open Space, game mechanics, passage rites, storytelling
and more
so your Agile adoption can actually take root.
OAA is based on people, THEN practices. You can introduce any practice
or framework with it. Open Agile Adoption is based on www.Prime-OS.com
