Re:Agile adoption Thanks so much Dan for the meticulous parsing and development of OST that OS Agile Adoption represents! I wonder if the patterns you've identified are simply natural patterns for group Self-Realization, encoded in our DNA? 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?? I wonder whether we've been delaying human evolution by being so slow to recognize that? 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. Work in a circle in a sacred manner. Learn and develop ourselves, our relations, and our world. Final question: What space does OST open?? Thanks much, again, Daniel!

Rarely am I ever worried to find the right words to describe something and all that is there. I am now. I simply do not want to diminish it by describing it. There is so much here that could be savored and discussed but first it is my hope that many will decide to go watch all 3 interviews. Open Space, Agile, Work with the possibility of everyone involved and engaged. It's all here and more. Daniel thank you so very much. For your determination, action driven foresight and spirit of invitation to all of us and others. It ignited me tremendously. I imagine it will ignite many others too.

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 âlevel upâ 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? 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.  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: http://newtechusa.net/prime/prime-core-elements/ http://www.Prime-OS.com Anne stadler Your Self Occupy 100% A world that works for ALL is a world of love made visible Phone: 206-459-0227 Skype: anne.m.stadler   www.InClaritas.com http://www.InClaritas.com www.CharterforCompassion.org http://www.CharterforCompassion.org
