Greetings All,
I have been quiet on the List lately, but rest assured, I'm still
causing trouble...
...Here is some **news**.
We have this monthly **online** Open Space conference event going now.
We call it OSACON.
There's **two** events actually: OSACON/West addresses The Americas and
Europe, while OSACON/East handles Asia Pacific time zones.
You can learn more at the OSACON web site listed below. We're using ZOOM
video to deliver a keynote and an **online** Open Space every time.
The Next **online** Open Space OSACON/West event is coming up 11/08 and
the author of ENGAGING EMERGENCE, Peggy Holman, is keynoting!!
(for the few who may not know, Peggy is a big part of the ORIGIN STORY
in the development of what we **now** call Open Space Technology.)
So you probably do not want to miss this one!!

About OSACON:*
The OSACON community is where the global community of Open activists
find each other– and interact.
We discover and then compose tools and techniques that encourage and
foster a “whole group” approach to getting rapid, authentic and lasting
Agile change.
People who attend OSACON are looking for better ways to get lasting
Agile change; that is: genuine and continuous improvement.
Our keynotes are selected for their ability to present original ideas,
be provocative in presentation, and successfully challenge the status
quo of the Agile Industry.
*We work from a short set of assumptions:*
** We seek continuous improvement in the way Agile is implemented
worldwide. In 2017, we see a huge opportunity to innovate and improve.
**We embrace Open, opt-in, invitational approaches that encourage higher
and higher levels of human engagement.
**We assume (perhaps incorrectly) that self-management is where
substantially all of the improvement is coming from when implementing
Agile change.
**We hold that that only engaged people can effectively self-manage. We
assert that authoritarian mandates, force and coercion kill engagement.
And when engagement dies, so does self-management… and with it the
potential for any real and lasting improvement.
**We recognize that mandated, forced and authoritarian approaches to
“Agile transformation” are fundamentally flawed and completely opposed
to Agile principles.
**We believe and acknowledge that “push” style Agile, as implemented
today, is an epic failure.
**We realize that self-management – not your framework – is what
actually scales.
If you like these assumptions, you are invited!
The recurring **online** OSACON event attracts some of the most
forward-thinking people in the Agile industry and the growing Open
movement. The format is “Open Space online” and usually includes a
keynote address from an intriguing thinker and do-er.
Previous keynotes include Harrison Owen, Mike Beedle, David Snowden and
more.
November 08, 2017.
I hope to see you there !!
