Re: [OSList] Opening space when borders are closing

[christine koehler via OSList]

For those who read French, here

is
a wonderful exemple of what happens when you open space.
It is the story of a university teacher in Lyon, saturday morning, supposed
to do a 3,5 hour course about body, sex and cultures, who started talking
about not being sure to be able to teach, about Paris, about having dinner
together, about listening to music and of the wonderful dialogue that took
place with all his students, christians, muslims, boys, girls, full with
emotion and respect.
Beautiful.

Re: [OSList] Accessibility in OS

[Sarah Grange via OSList]

Hi Michael,

Thank you for sharing these thoughts. You're right of course that people in
OS work to help each other a lot, and that the sponsor - when there is one
- can be guided towards best practice. However, in the case of the events
I'm running, I am often my own client, so to speak, as I run a programme of
OS events as part of an Arts Council funded company, so the bucks stops
with me in terms of pre-planned provision.

Whilst there are many things participants do to help each other, there are
two main areas where it feels that better provision needs to be made by
facilitators/organisers. Mainly for hard-of-hearing participants and those
with learning disabilities.

Hard-of-hearing: With 1 in 5 people in the UK having some kind of hearing
loss, large scale events become really difficult, as ambient noise levels
mount. Simply asking people to speak up only causes more problems as the
room as a whole just gets louder. Hearing assistant tools, like live
captioning or hearing loops, only work for Opening and Closing, but are
impossible (at least on our small budgets) to implement across the event
for each break-out space. At our largest annual event, we often have
upwards of 20 break-out spaces. Statistically, at least someone in each
space will need some assistance but we can't afford 20 palantypists (or
equivalent). Has anyone tried any other technological support, or found
other methods to help the hard of hearing?

Learning Disability: This is trickier as every person with an LD has a
different set of needs. Primarily, we find the biggest problems are feeling
intimidated and confused on entering the space. We're trialling a buddy
system for our next large event. Has anyone got experience of similar they
can share? Has anyone found a way of presenting or explaining OS to those
with LDs in a way that makes them feel safe and supported? I'm really
talking about the larger events here. With the smaller ones, the crowd is
less alarming, and the facilitator much easier to identify and ask for
help. There certainly seems to be a limit - in my experience - in terms of
how much you can say to a person with Learning Disability that the group
will self-organise to assist them and that they shouldn't worry, ask for
support etc, because for many of them, they simply do not have the same
social understanding as everyone else, or the communication skills to do
this. Their voices are none the less important though, and I feel like OS
should really be able to support neuro-atypical participants better than I
am currently able to. Any tips, thoughts, advice most welcome! Has anyone
worked with Autistic participants, for example?

Thanks

Sarah

Re: [OSList] Terrible attack in Paris

[Léa via OSList]

Thank you a lot
Am safe and hope you all are.
Sorry i don't really have words to express anythink, here became so
confused.
Our space is closing more and more, borders are closing, mindsets do so...
wonder how to open it in such a context...
There is some violent and extreme reaction against muslim people, but also
so great solidarities... Hope people will also be more sensitive to the
world, to others wich are experiencing these violences anywhere in the
world, and that we will learn how to dance under the rain...
Peace, love, unity

[OSList] Open Space and Agile Processes

[Kim Willing via OSList]

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.

Re: [OSList] Open Space and Agile Processes

[Daniel Mezick via OSList]

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:

http://openspaceagility.com/osa/osa-training/osa-fundamentals/


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...

http://www.Prime-OS.com

The core ideas behind the "core-idea Prime/OS:"
http://openspaceagility.com/prime/prime-core-elements/

Here is the Facebook group for OSA:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/openagileadoption/



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


Kind Regards,
Daniel

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.

Re: [OSList] Open Space and Agile Processes

[Michael Herman via OSList]

the best training your small group could have, kim, might be a chance to do
some of their own work in open space together (not a made-up topic, not a
demo or rehearsal).  then have a little time at the end of that day to talk
about what happened and what might be different in the larger group.
 you'll never prove to them that all will be well and it will never go like
any of them thinks it will.  so in many ways, there's no way right or good
way to prepare, other than get clear about whatever the invitation does or
will say and for each of the seven to give some thought to the issues/opps
that are most important to them personally.  if they can hold off posting
anything long enough to see what the larger group brings, chances are very
good that others will step up to own those issues and get to work on them.
 good luck and have fun with them.  michael
