OpenSpace Agility (OSA) is a safe, pragmatic and repeatable  technique for getting a rapid and lasting Agile adoption. It works with the framework you are currently using, and OSA can be added at any time. OSA is used to actively engage as many employees as possible in your Agile program. OSA uses Open Space to help this happen.

(New to Open Space? You can learn more about Open Space here….)

For executive leaders, OSA is an Employee Engagement Model and A-B-C template that operationalizes the core values of Lean, namely: respect for people, and continuous improvement.

For executives who are truly committed to these values, OSA represents a simple, effective and very efficient way forward.

With OpenSpace Agility, you can expect:

  • A dramatic reduction in the coaching & training costs of implementing your Agile program
  • A genuine, rapid and lasting Agile transformation
  • A dramatic increase in employee engagement scores
  • A dramatic increase in stakeholder satisfaction and potentially, genuine stakeholder delight
  • Predictable, reliable, repeatable, EVIDENCE-BASED improvement in overall results

OpenSpaceAgility (OSA) incorporates the power of invitation, Open Space, game mechanics, leadership storytelling and more…so your employees actually engage in the process of changing, and your Agile adoption can actually take root.

OSA is based on people, THEN practices. OSA is compatible with and compliments your approach, as long as your approach is optimized on lasting improvement.

Using OSA helps your overall approach succeed.

OSA is an Engagement Model. Wait. What is an “Engagement Model?”
