[OSList] Death, Grief and Birth in Open Space

[Daniel Mezick via OSList]

The SPIRIT book covers grief and grief-work in some depth. I find this 
theme of death and dying ("passing") to be a major part of what is 
typically unspoken and typically going on in an Open Space... when and 
where the stakes are /high/.


There is a death/"annihilation" going on there, that seems to be part of 
what it takes to actually get from here to there.


Harrison uses these terms and words in the post below:

 * "terminal"
 * "last rites"
 * "damaged org"
 * "survival stuff"


Ouch. That smarts! "Birth" seems an obvious aspect of 
healthy-and-well-functioning Open Space...does this go for "death" as well?

Sounds pretty abstract and difficult to visualize... but I do believe 
we get the picture in wild living color, every time we have the 
privilege of *opening the space for a damaged organization*, where the 
trouble is real and palpable. I’m not talking about the two hour Open 
Space on some frilly, safe topic. I mean the real deal where the 
stakes are seriously high. *Survival stuff*.


My experience is shared by many, and the stories are often told. My 
most recent encounter was with a very large US federal agency, which 
according to its director was so dysfunctional that “most of the 
people could not find their rear ends with both hands” (That’s a 
direct quote). They were in trouble by any standard, and the Chief was 
so out of options that Open Space sounded like a safe way to go – even 
though he had never seen one.


Well we did it... and the organization I saw bore no relationship to 
the one that had been described to me. The people were all the same, 
the issues were familiar... but the behavior was brilliant. Total 
flowing conversation with real engagement and workable solutions. Mind 
Bending! And the chief was blown away – walking around with a silly 
grin on his face.


I invited him to lunch because I wanted to feed him several drinks and 
ask a question. We had the lunch, and after the drinks, came the 
question: “What are you doing, Sir, as a matter of everyday business 
that converts 177 bright, engaged, competent people into blundering 
fools?” He looked a little surprised and I said, “I think you might 
want to stop doing it.”


Dan – That’s my point. Before we do anything more, different, or 
otherwise – I sincerely believe we need to stop and appreciate what 
apparently happens very naturally, all by itself, with minimal or no 
assistance. And after that appreciative moment, we might think of a 
few things to do, but only a very few.

Re: [OSList] Agile-in-OpenSpace videos

[Daniel Mezick via OSList]

Hi Harrison, All,

I do join with you 100% in the "look for one less thing to do" philosophy.

Sheesh, thanks for the great opening to describe the primary design goal 
for OAA...what a layup!


Here I go:

...The primary design goal of OAA? To */reduce the coaching days 
needed/* to get a rapid and lasting Agile adoption.


And so, here you can see, the "look for one less thing to do" philosophy 
literally /baked into/ the design of OAA. Funny how it ended up at Open 
Space...


Truth be told, modern Agile adoption (with coaching) seem to be often 
optimizing on: "look for one /MORE/ thing to do"


Here is one such example:
http://scalingsoftwareagilityblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SAF-BigPicture-v0.93.jpg

Right?!?

There is this wise, older man, a friend of mine who quipped this to me 
recently, during a conversation where I started calling OST an 
"operating system..."


"...the REAL operating system is self-organization. Everything else is 
an app. Including Open Space!"


OAA is an app. Like Scrum, OST, sociocracy, Kanbanwhat have you. All 
these apps run on: "self organization."


My current belief is that self-organization is what actually scales, not 
some app. Not some "framework." Now, if folks are compelled to "do it 
the way I say", or "do this framework like I tell you..." .how does 
positive self-organization happen again?


What are we doing to help create the fertile conditions for 
enterprise-wide  self-organization?


Answering this question well is the entire focus of the OAA approach.

Because... truth be told, I do not see how any kind of Agile stuff can 
scale FOR REAL without creating the fertile conditions for 
self-organization to go  enterprise-wide. Thousands of people. Isn't 
self-organization what ACTUALLY scales?


Because...well I have simply never seen it done any other way.

I've never seen it done by forcing stuff on people without their 
consent, without invitation. And I've never seen it done with inviting 
the folks affected to express what they think and feel about "the 
solution we are using"...


Here is a group that seems to most embody enterprise-wide 
self-organization in the Agile world right now: SPOTIFY 
http://nomad8.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Squads-Chapters-Guilds-in-one-page.graffle.pdf


Interestingly...SPOTIFY has settled on and have implemented 2 very big 
rules:


1. NO REMOTE LABOR. All teams are located IN THE BUILDING. No remote 
labor. Everyone is communicating all the time (consciously and 
unconsciously, verbally and non-verbally) via face-to-face proximity. 
Kinda-sorta like Open Space?


2. EVERYONE IS AUTHORIZED. All teams are authorized. If TeamA needs 
TeamB to change their code, and TeamB claims "we are too busy", then 
TeamA is authorized to immediately go in and edit/change TeamB's code as 
needed. (That rule tends to get TeamB moving.) This means everyone is 
authorized to do almost everything. Kinda-sorta like Open Space?


Regards,
Daniel

Since the guy at Mail-Archive.com only seems to look at support

Re:Agile adoption

Thanks so much Dan for the meticulous parsing and development of OST 
that OS Agile Adoption represents!

You are welcome! I am glad you like it.


I wonder if the patterns you've identified are simply "natural" 
patterns for group Self-Realization, encoded in our DNA?
Well, ya, passage rites have been going in human systems for a very long 
time. So maybe...


That and ... a friend who says really interesting things told me, just 
recently...


"..self organization is the REAL operating system. Everything else is an 
app. Including Open Space."




OAA is heresy, as it does claim to deal with the org as a single entity, 
an "individual", and claims to invite that individual into a passage-rite:

http://newtechusa.net/agile/on-passage-rites/
http://newtechusa.net/agile/crossing-over/
"...the idea that a family or a tribe or a modern corporation 
can “level up” by experiencing a passage ritual is a new idea. With 
no apparent support from cultural anthropology.


Heresy? Well... ya...


Does that perhaps account for the fact that people intrinsically 
"know" how to DO what they're invited to do when the OST Marketplace 
space is opened??
Yes and I think folks do know. We want to be a /character/ in the 
emerging story, and be "/located in/" the story (not '/bought in/ to the 
story', which connotes persuasion,) and to be an /author/ of the 
emerging story. Make sense?


I notice two things:

1st, *most folk are allergic to a story pre-fabricated by authority*, and
2nd, in the absence of a coherent story... anxiety increases.

So maybe the trick is to depict an emerging, as-yet-unwritten story? A 
story with an open-option invitation to help write it...an option which 
is actually expiring soon...creating some urgency?Â


My current belief is that the "empty" OST Marketplace depicts a story 
yet-to-be-written. I'm not sure this is true, but: that's some genuine 
tension and drama right there, for sure


The "expiring-option-to-be-a-character-in-the-story-and-WRITE-the-story" 
concept is central to OAA and borrowed from what is observed in Open 
Space when the Marketplace opens.


In this sense, OAA is a form of Open Space spanning 100days.

The Open Space gathering format (in 1-2 days) is informing the structure 
of the longer org-level experiment with process-change (over about 100 
days).


The opening OAA OST-1 event is like a wider-scope version of the Open 
Space opening circle. The body of the OST event is a fractal of the 
100-day interval between OST-1 and OST-2. The terminating OAA OST-2 
event is like a wider-scope version of the Open Space closing circle. 
The entire OAA thing is a 100-day 'open space' (small o, small s).


This revelation just dawned on me quite recently.

The OAA 100-day Open Space:

OAA OST-1 is like ... the OST opening circle
OAA 100 days is like ... the OST body, with small sessions (per Marketplace)
OAA OST-2 is like...the OST closing circle

I wonder whether we've been delaying human evolution by being so slow 
to recognize that?


Ha...not sureexcept that usually... "...Whenever it starts is the 
right time."


One other question: are the principles and law of OST in fact the code 
for Self Realization at all levels of form??


Here's a framework that i feel describes the heart of OST. It was 
articulated by Chief Phil Lane Jr. who developed it after interviewing 
many indigenous Elders about self realization:
"Start from within. Â Work in a circle in a sacred manner. Learn and 
develop ourselves, our relations, and our world."


Final question: What "space" does OST "open"??
Npt surebut I strongly suspect OST opens the space Stuart Kauffman 
calls: "the adjacent possible."


http://www.theoryofmind.org/pieces/AAAPT.html
"...Kauffman continues by describing an untapped potential of what could 
be - the Adjacent Possible. For the most part (or perhaps entirely) this 
potential is a higher level of complexity. To survive, autonomous agents 
have had to evolve toward this higher complexity. However, there is an 
"edge" of complexity where life is sustainable. Below and above this 
point, life becomes untenable."





Thanks much, again, Daniel!


You are welcome! I appreciate your thoughts and questions very much.

PS. I think it is important to note that as a result of hearing from 
folks all over the world how are using OAA for any kind of process 
change (not just Agile...) I've isolated the foundation or backbone of 
OAA, named it Prime/OS, and published that empty framework as open 
source (free to the world...) ...you can investigate that here and here:

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 simp
