Nurturing Agility with Open Space  
Great skills, individuals, processes, and tools may be critical, but they're not enough. The evidence shows more and more that great teams *require* the capacity to learn, especially from each other. And that can happen only when each person fully shows up with both passion and responsibility.
Open Space invites people to practice leadership in a safe space. The small fire that shows up from committed and aligned individuals that reliably happens in Open Space can be supported to spread into a flame. Especially if you understand how to use Open Space to support the adoption of Agile principles and practices.
In this session we will explore the theme - "How does Open Space nurture Agility?" - through a micro Open Space game. Jon and Harold will give a 15 minute or less talk to prime the participation with how they've collectively participated in several Open Space style Agile Transformation initiatives across the United States, and how Open Space helps, and then invite you to play a simple game with traditional Open Space rules and a simple point competition to encourage exploring all the corners of how Open Space works and transforms.  Harold Shinsato is an agile coach-developer and culture hacker (and CSM).  A programmer for over 30 years, he co-founded <A HREF="http://montanacodeschool.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Montana Code School </A>and continues to help teach there, especially with Mob Programming.
