Feb 28 Boston - Agile Boston Monthly Meeting
Radical Innovation: The Six Week Open Space Experiment
Richard Kasperowski, Agile coach-manager at Nokia
Richard set a record when he facilitated a six-week-long Open Space with his software development team. This is unique: they are the only people in the world to have held Open Space for such a long time. They pushed the limits of Open Space Technology, discovering both what it's great at and its limitations. Richard will share the highlights of what they learned: what worked, what didn't work, and the surprising results.
At this session you will learn:
- Open Space Technology: what it is, how to facilitate it - The importance of a real problem for a great Open Space, and how Open Space is exactly the right tool for organizing a group of people to solve it - How to prepare for Open Space - A radical use of Open Space: use it to manage your team for extended periods of time - How to facilitate Open Space well - As a facilitator, which seductive shortcuts should you avoid? - Unexpected positive and negative outcomes
