Hi Kim,
I'm sure Lisa Heft plans to respond here about Open Space training.
Harold Shinsato maintains a calendar of training programs. I have copied
Harold on this email. For my part, I also offer Open Space training:

Software development is a harsh and strangely wonderful learning
laboratory for applying sociology. Certainly Open Space has something to
do with THAT.
Here are a few links for you:
The core pattern underlying OSA: "before/after" Open Space with a period
of experimentation in-between...

The core ideas behind the "core-idea Prime/OS:"

Here is the Facebook group for OSA:

I invite you to send me an email, if you might have a question, a
concern or an "aha," etc.
Kind Regards,
Daniel

Thank you Daniel and Ron for your generous sharing on this topic - it is really
exciting to read the links and the language around organisations and learning
that is in this field and so closely aligns with Open Space. I am an Open Space
facilitator, (not a specialist in IT) responding to requests from a client in
the IT sector and I've gotta say I am surprised and inspired by the treasure
trove of rich thinking and application you have shown me.
Lari, It sounds like you are applying the Agile framework (not sure that's the
word) to content/questions that are not related to software development? I
would love to explore the possibilities here further - the idea of a period of
experimentation bracketed by Open Space is just fabulous - to have a 'sprint'
of experimentation in which there is permission to fail and to try things out
to get right into the 'how' and the 'doing' and then reflect and plan further
action. So simple and elegant and could be applied in so many fields.
I would love to hear more stories of applying the Open Agile approach to non
software related areas.
In my case, I am working with a small group of IT leaders in a large
organisation to bring about engagement in strategic planning for IT across
diverse (siloed) agencies within the organisation. So, nothing really to do
with software development but everything to do with a team with a vision,
wanting to lead a conversation and engage their internal stakeholders or
clients in that broad vision and develop ownership for future directions
throughout the organisation.
As the leading group (they are, afterall, the IT Department), they brought
their knowledge of Agile process to the planning process and want to facilitate
it using Open Space. Brilliant!
Which brings me to another request for insight from the list serve around
TRAINING.
In addition to providing an experience of Open Space, what are some of the
approaches to training people in open space that are being used out there? And
what would be some fun and effective ways to train a small group (7) in Open
Space in one day - in preparation for participating in a large open space
event (hosted by them but facilitated by me) and building their capacity to
facilitate future events?
I very much appreciate your thoughts.
Kim.
