The Wizard of OSS
summary
Argues enterprise agility requires combining Beyond Budgeting, Open Space and Sociocracy with Agile and shows concrete practices: run open space days to surface ideas, use consent decision rounds with “good enough for now / safe to try” timeboxes, and adopt double-linking and role-nomination rounds to elect and rotate responsibility. Reports these tools speed decisions, increase buy-in, surface hidden objections, produce unexpected leaders, and produce measurable probes/experiments to test hypotheses — practical steps that have been applied in companies with positive, if mostly anecdotal, results.
